How to Ask for Support
If you need special support, tell your school or exam centre.
When they book your exam, they can indicate that you need SEN (special educational needs) accommodation.
When you confirm your exam booking, you can also tell us that you need support. If you do this, your school or centre will be informed.
Support Available
Extra time
Trinity can give extra time if you need special arrangements.
This must be requested at least 2 weeks before your test day.
You must give evidence for this request by filling in this form
Note: Requests given to exam centre staff on the day of the exam will not be accepted.
Important: A new special needs form must be sent for every exam, even if the candidate had support before.
Modified Formatting
Enlarged text / Magnifier:
You may use the zoom function on the secure browser to increase the size of text and images. However, please note that the zoom function can distort the layout of the screen and affect the exam experience. This is especially true for the reading tasks. We recommend that you try the zoom function on the example tasks here so that you become familiar with how it impacts the test layout.
Alternatively, you may use an external magnifier. Please note that the use of electronic magnifiers will require prior approval. Please include the make and model of your chosen magnifier in your application.
Colour scheme adjustment:
You can change the colour of the test screen if another colour is easier to read.
You can do this at the start of the test or at any time during the test.
To change the colour, click on Preferences in the bottom left corner of the screen (showing below the video in the screenshot).
You can practise with Preferences before the exam by using the example tasks on the Trinity website.
