14. Use of Dictionaries Candidates whose first language is not English may use a dictionary in written examinations, provided that the dictionary is English/Foreign Language. Candidates should at the time of entry advise the State Office of their intention to avail themselves of this regulation, outlining their reason for so doing. The State Office will then provide the candidate with an authorising letter. Candidates will be asked to present the dictionary and the authorising letter to the examination centre supervisor prior to the commencement of writing, for checking. 15. Disabled Candidates The AMEB makes every effort to accommodate candidates with disabilities by providing reasonable adjustments to the means by which examinations are undertaken (but not the examination requirements themselves). Teachers and candidates should contact the State Office for further details. 16. Non English-Speaking Candidates On application to the State Office, non English-speaking candidates may seek to have an accredited interpreter present at their practical music examination. Candidates for written examinations are able to have the examination paper translated into their first language. For details please contact the State Office. |
