Based on this information you can plan your time and choose where to start. You should therefore read the login sheet carefully.

Use of computers during the examination
The examination takes place on computers that belong to the University of Oslo. These are premanently placed in the exam facilities and have been configured in a particular way adapted to the examination situation. Because of concerns for security and the controlled conditions under which the examination takes place, they function differently from ordinary computers.
- No software other than the examination can be opened
- The shortcut-key functions have been disabled; for example, you cannot use CTRL+C/CTRL+V to copy and paste text
- Note that your selected answer will change if you use the arrow keys while the cursor is located in a multiple-choice question
If you encounter technical problems
When you wish to open an assignment or submit your answer, click the button only once. Sometimes, it may take a few seconds before the next screen is displayed. Be patient and do not click repeatedly. If the system stalls, ask for assistance from the ICT manager.
If your computer hangs or freezes, ask for help from the ICT manager. If the solution is to change computer, you can log on where you left off, and none of your answers will have been lost. All responses are stored during the examination. If the ICT manager need to spend some time to find the solution to your problem, you will be granted some extra time.
