6.5 Important Exam Notes
The examination pass rate of the respective ATC students shall be consistent with an
acceptable worldwide range of exam pass rates over a period of two (2) years, based on IATA’s
statistical reports.
All examination must be written at the first attempt.
Students have a maximum of two (2) attempts to pass the examination within the enrollment
validity period.
If students fail the same examination twice, their enrollment is automatically cancelled.
6.6 Day of The Examination
To be admitted to the examination, the student will need to present the following to the Local
Coordinator and/or exam invigilator:
exam invitation letter (sent by the Local Coordinator to the ATC);
Booking ID and/or Client ID Number; and
An official identity card with photograph.
The Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilators required to verify each student’s eligibility and
identity before she/he is allowed to sit the examination.
All formal examination materials (papers, answer sheets, etc.) will be provided. The students are
only allowed to take the following materials with them into the examination room:
Pens (students should plan to have two);
Ruler;
Language dictionary;
Silent non-programmable pocket calculator;
Mobile phones, pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), pocket PCs are allowed but must
remain switched off at all times during the examination.
Please note that the Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator cannot answer questions concerning
the examination.
All exam questions and answer booklets and accompanying documents must be returned to the
Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator at the end of the exam session.
6.7 Important Measures to Counteract Cheating
Cheating mainly occurs when candidates can easily communicate with each other. Candidates,
therefore, must not:
leave the room unaccompanied during the examination;
take papers out of the examination room;
be left alone, even for a few minutes;
As stated above, all exam questions and answer booklets and accompanying documents
must be returned to the Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator at the end of the exam
session. Blank pages, which are provided for note taking, can be transcribed with exam questions
and easily transmitted around the world, giving information on the content of the exam papers to
other candidates in locations where the exam is taking place later in the week.
