## Questions about your exam paper format

You can [view past papers online](https://student.sussex.ac.uk/assessment/past-exam-papers) to help you revise.

Speak to your School if you have any queries about the rubric and structure of an exam paper.

## Helping students in exams

If you’re a PhD student, you can earn some extra money working as a scribe or reader on a casual and part-time basis during assessment periods.

The job involves attending exams and writing or typing the answers given by students who are unable to do this themselves. You’ll be given guidance on this.

The posts are advertised at certain times of the year. [Find jobs through Careers and Entrepreneurship](http://www.sussex.ac.uk/careers/jobs/parttime/).
