Note all exam papers should be “no choice”, with Section A 40% and Section B 60%. Exam font size should be 12 minimum, and consistently used throughout. Arial font is occasionally requested as an exam adjustment for disabled students so if your exam is not
already in Arial you will need to change it if required. A Word exam template is attached, as is Ben Hourahine's Latex template (fonts and formatting issues that I often pick people up on become non-issues).</div>
