Welcome to Exam Dividers
Helping you run your online exams more efficiently
There are clear advantages to using exam dividers for online tests, internal and external examinations:
- Fully comply with Exam Board Regulations (JCQ)
- More students can sit the exam in one room
- Fewer rooms are required
- Exams can be held in fewer sessions
- Less disruption to lessons and the timetable
- Fewer staff are required
- Lower invigilation costs
- They create a formal testing environment
Make better use of your computer labs when running online examinations by using exam divider screens. Most labs have computers nearer to each other than regulations allow (1.25m), our exam dividers allow you to use more of your computers at the same time, a much more efficient use of your resources.

8 Computers but only 3 students?
In my classroom the workstations are at 0.8m which would mean I could only use 1 out of every 2 computers, but it gets worse...in the picture below there are 8 workstations so you think you might be able to put in 4 students. No - because, as well as requiring a 1.25m gap, you also have to have spare computers in case of machine failure so without dividers this row of 8 could only accommodate 3 students!
If you have less room between computers the problem gets worse.
