Viewing previous years' examination papers
Any examination paper will be made available to any Waikato Student on request. Normally the person will be given a copy.
Search for Undergraduate examination papers from the last three years (available in electronic form).
If a department has reasonable grounds, concerned with efficient administration and/or the integrity of the assessment process, for wishing to limit access to the paper, the person will be given an opportunity to inspect the paper, rather than being given a copy.
Each department maintains and administers a Non-Publishable Examination Archive of old exam papers that belong to that department.
- Students may request a time to view Non-Publishable Examination papers.
- There is a booking schedule and students must present their ID.
- Students have 15 minutes to view the examination paper.
- It is a supervised viewing-only arrangement, students are not permitted to take a copy of the paper or take any notes.
