Extra time/Scribe

A current medical certificate must accompany your Examination Entry Form should you require extra time or a scribe in the examination session. You are required to apply for extra time separately for each examination session.

Past examination question papers, including the marking memorandums, are available from the IMM GSM offices. By collecting the past examination question papers from one of these offices you can spend more time on these papers.
Complete the order form should you require past papers to be posted to you. Return this form to the IMM GSM with the necessary monies. (DO NOT MAIL CASH). Please allow two to three weeks for delivery. If you have not received your order within 21 days, please contact the IMM GSM.

In addition to the past examination papers the IMM GSM offers you Good Answer Booklets for the following modules: Principles of Marketing, Business Communication, Business Management, Business Law, Micro Economics and Macro Economics. These answers are written by students under examination conditions and are available at the IMM GSM offices. You can either collect these from the IMM GSM offices or complete the order form, should you require them to be mailed to you.

The IMM GSM has open-book examinations: Marketing Strategy (4 hours), Media Strategy (3 hours) and Marketing Research Application. Learners are permitted to refer to any support material during the examinations.

Examinations must be cancelled in writing before the closing date of exam cancellations as per the calendar of events. NO TELEPHONIC CANCELLATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
The monies paid for cancelled examinations will be credited to your IMM GSM student account.
The credit on your account will be used to offset the cost of your next three examination sessions. If you have submitted an assignment, a marking fee per modules cancelled, will be debited to your IMM account.

A letter confirming your examination registration and modules to be written, will reach you three (3) weeks prior to the start of the examinations. If your confirmation letter has not reached you by this date, contact the IMM GSM office or regional offices to confirm your examination registration.
It is compulsory to produce your examination confirmation letter at the examination venue.
This letter will also give you the address of your examination venue. Familiarise yourself with the location of your venue before the commencement of the examinations.

You must take your ID Book/Passport and your IMM GSM student number with you to the examination venue for identification purposes. Please note that a student card alone is not sufficient identification. Failure to produce positive identification at the examination venue could result in your scripts not being marked.

The release dates for the examinations are available on the website and in the prospectus. Your examination results will be posted to you and will also be available at the IMM GSM office and regional offices and your Student Support Centres. To facilitate the process further, students may view their results on the website. Students may also phone 083 123 9911 on the day on which the results are released in order to access their results.

Students who fail to arrive at the examination venue will not be permitted to have their fees credited for the next examination session. Students who have failed to attend an examination due to medical reasons must submit an original or certified copy of the medical documentation to their closest IMM GSM office within two weeks of the examination date.

Because the IMM GSM has two formal examination sessions per year (May and October), supplementary examinations are not offered.
Note: Once marked, examination scripts are moderated to ensure accuracy, fairness and consistency of marking. Examination results, once published, are FINAL.
