Smartwatch rules are changing

Open-access content Tuesday 4th October 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

Please be aware that smartwatches will not be permitted for use during IFoA exams from the September 2016 session onwards

Please be aware that smartwatches will not be permitted for use during IFoA exams from the September 2016 session onwards.

As smartwatches have messaging and internet search capabilities, you will not be allowed to wear a smartwatch during your exam. All other types of analogue and digital watches are allowed, but you will need to place your watch on your desk at the start of the exam. The exam centres will also have clocks on display to ensure that you can manage your time during your exam.

We appreciate your support with this to ensure that all students have the same exam experience.
