The following must be stated in the course description:

• Duration of exam
• Aids and materials (with/as specified/without)
• Form of assessment
• Form of co-examination
• Description of the practical exam – what does it contain, is it individual or in groups.

• Description of the reexamination – both if identical to or different from the ordinary exam

• Dates for practical exams are published for students by the AU deadlines for publication of timetables and exam dates, which are in October/April of the previous semester.
• When planning a practical exam, special attention should be paid to whether the exam schedule can accommodate students who are granted special exam conditions in the form of extra preparation time or longer examination time. This is important because practical exams are often subject to various constraints that can prevent exams from being held on more dates than already planned.
• In connection with the planning of practical exams, the digital WISEflow exam platform supports the timing of exams for students and the registration of results. WISEflow has a special module for registering the results of station exams/OSCEs.
• For a practical exam with preparation time, the exam question(s) can either be handed out in person by the assessors in the preparation room, or they can be distributed to students via WISEflow. The latter is usually most appropriate for exams where students are expected to prepare over several days.
• Exams can be planned with exam supervision in the preparation rooms. The faculty’s or the department’s study administration is responsible for supervising exams as AU’s Examination Office is only responsible for supervising written on-site exams.

• Assessors make notes to ensure that they can submit an opinion in the event of appeals. It is recommended that assessors enter their notes in WISEflow.
