An test proctor will begin memorizing test instructions approximately 15 minutes before the test start time. Students must be in the test room with their test at this time. If taking the test on a laptop, it must be booted up and have passed the security check. Hand writers must not have a laptop with them in an test room, unless otherwise allowed according to the professor’s instructions. A student entering the test room after the proctor begins memorizing instructions will not receive additional time for booting up their laptop, passing the security check, and/or memorizing test instructions.
When instructed by the proctor, write your test number on the cover page of your exam, bluebooks, and any scratch paper you turn in as part of your exam. Handwritten test answers must be written in blue books in blue or black ink. Number the bluebooks you use (1 of 1, 1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc.). Proctors will allow time to read the professor’s instructions. Other than counting the number of pages of the exam, students are not permitted to turn the page of an test past the instructions page until the proctor instructs to do so.
When taking a closed book exam, no books, outlines, book bags, purses, or scratch paper (other than the scratch paper provided) may be at your seat during the exam. These items must be left outside of the test room or in the front or sides of the test room. Students may not begin to write anything, including on scratch paper, before the proctor begins a closed book exam.
Students taking in-class exams are prohibited from having any electronic communication device, other than a laptop as allowed per the professor's instructions, during the exam. Cell phones and smart watches must be turned off during the test and placed in a bag or backpack. Violations of this rule may be considered an Honor Code violation. A clock in each test room will be the official time keeper for the exam.
Non-alcoholic beverages are permitted in test rooms; however, the container must have a lid.
After the test instructions have been read and the test begins, the proctor will remain in the room. Any student who has a question or problem during an test should see the proctor.
Students may use the restroom or take a break during an exam. However, all test materials must be left in the test room and no additional time will be given. Students must sign in and out at the front of the room with the proctor.
Fall 2022 Final Examination Information
Final examination week begins on the Monday following the end of full-term classes and extends through the following Saturday. The Saturday and Sunday between the end-of-term classes and the beginning of final examinations have been designated 'study days'.
Final test Week Schedule
- Final test schedule for all campuses. Group exams apply to only Oxford classes.
- Final examination meeting times are based on the standard timeblock model.
- Not all classes meet the exact times of the standard timeblock; a class with a start time that is after, but falls within the designated timeblock for corresponding days, should use that scheduled test time and room for the final examination.
- Final exams for courses that meet 2–3 days but with odd meeting pattern days (not M/W/F or T/R) will be determined by the first meeting day.
- For information about group test eligibility see the midterms and final exams page on our website.
- Determining final test date and time
- Face-to-Face — If the class is a lecture only or a combination of lecture/lab/discussion, use the test time which corresponds to the first day and time the lecture portion meets.
- Online, Fully Asynchronous — Final test must be asynchronous and made available for the period of Mon/Tue/Wed (72 hours) or Thu/Fri (48 hours) of final test week. The instructor will select from the two timeblocks and must indicate their selected test timeblock on the course syllabus. The timeblock selection will not be recorded in Banner nor listed on the course schedule in BannerWeb or on the Miami Course List.
- Online, Fully Synchronous — The final test is assigned based on the date and time of the primary meeting pattern.
- Online, Blend of Asynchronous and Synchronous — The final test is assigned based on the day and time of the synchronous meeting pattern.
- Hybrid with Synchronous Online Component — The final test is assigned based on the day and time of the primary meeting pattern (can be either in person or online pattern).
- Hybrid with Asynchronous Online Component — The final test is assigned based on the day and time of the in person meeting pattern.

Physical activity is important for healthy aging. It helps prevent functional decline, frailty, falls, and chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Regular physical activity also contributes to quality of life and reduced depression.
Despite these known health benefits, older adults seldom meet the physical activity guidelines of 150 minutes per week of moderate activity. Many factors affect physical activity levels among older adults. Moreover, little is known about the differences in physical activity among various racial and ethnic groups.
Researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, in collaboration with Florida International University, conducted a unique study using a robust statistical approach to analyze the factors related to physical activity in a diverse sample of older adults.
The study sample included 601 African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, European Americans and Hispanic Americans ages 59 to 96 living independently. While prior studies have addressed the question of factors influencing older adults’ physical activity levels, none have employed the large range of instruments/tools used in this study or included older adults from multiple ethnic groups.
Results of the study, published in the journal Geriatrics, showed that age, education, social network, pain and depression were the five factors that accounted for a statistically significant proportion of unique variance in physical activity in this diverse, community dwelling older population.
Participants who reported lower physical activity tended to be older, have less years of education and reported lower social engagement, networking, resilience, mental health, self-health rating, and higher levels of depression, anxiety, pain, and body mass index (BMI) compared to the moderate to high physical activity groups.
A secondary analysis examined factors associated with calculated MET-h/week (ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy relative to the mass of that person). Findings showed the strongest correlation to MET-h/week was with depression.
“Four of the five significant predictors of physical activity in the older adults we studied are at least partially modifiable. For example, social network, depression and pain can be ameliorated by physical activity,” said Ruth M. Tappen, Ed.D., RN, FAAN, senior author and the Christine E. Lynn Eminent Scholar and professor in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.
Researchers found that pain was associated with less time spent being physically active. What is not clear is whether older adults understand that sedentary lifestyles can promote and/or worsen some types of pain and physical activity can help to reduce pain or whether this knowledge alone is enough to motivate them to become more active.
“Education may be key both in helping older adults with depressive symptoms understand that physical activity can help reduce their symptoms and in helping them to identify the types of activity that they may find enjoyable,” said Tappen.
Study findings suggest that many of these factors could be addressed by designing and testing individual, group and community level interventions to increase physical activity in the older population. Researchers recommend education on the effect of activity on common sources of pain such as arthritis or back pain and encouraging health care providers to write a “prescription” for a daily walk or a workout for those with depression. In addition, community outreach to isolated older adults, improving the walkability of neighborhoods, repairing sidewalks, adding trails and making these areas safe to walk and work out are other interventions to help increase physical activity in the older population.
“Partnerships among local senior centers, low income housing developments, places of worship, YMCAs and health care providers are crucial in developing tailored multi-faceted programs for physically inactive older adults, especially those experiencing pain and/or depression,” said Tappen. “These programs can provide health-related education pertinent to the identified medical issues such as pain and depression and assist participants in meeting other participants and in developing specific physical activity-related goals, which are known to be associated with sustained involvement.”
Sociodemographic variables included age, sex, years of education, ethnic group membership, years living in the United States, and receipt of Medicaid based upon income level qualifications. Cognition was measured using the Mini-Mental State Exam. Psychosocial variables included social engagement, social network, resilience, personality, anxiety, depression, spirituality and the SF-36 mental health summary score. Physical measures included pain, BMI, body consciousness, functional ability and self-rating of health. Behavioral variables included adherence to prescribed medications and self-reported physical activity levels.

Factors Associated with Physical Activity in a Diverse Older Population
Article Publication Date

During a well woman exam, your doctor will review all of your current medical issues and determine if there is anything missing from care, says Dr. Marchand. It is important to note that medicine is constantly changing, so treatment that is recommended can vary a lot in just one year, he adds. The doctor should examine you from head to toe, check your vital signs, and assess if you are due for any vaccines. The visit generally includes the following:
Health History and Physical Examination
Upon arrival, you will undergo a routine physical test that includes taking your weight, pulse and blood pressure. A urine sample may be requested to test for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and rule out urinary tract infections, says Dr. Alagia. “You will be asked to change into a gown after being left alone in the examination room. Once your health care professional enters the room, they should take a few moments to review the test they are planning to perform and explain the reason for the specific exam,” he says.
You’ll have time before, after and during the test to ask and answer any questions you and your health care provider might have. It’s useful to prepare a list of questions in advance.
The questions that your doctor asks will be tailored to your age and medical history, says Dr. Swarup. For example, they may ask if you smoke, use drugs or alcohol, have any allergies or infections and whether you’ve had any surgeries, he says––all of these factors can affect your reproductive health.
Your doctor may ask the following questions, according to Dr. Swarup:
- How long ago was your last period?
- How often do your periods occur and how long do they last?
- Is there spotting between your periods?
- Is there any vaginal itching, pain or discharge?
- Are you experiencing any medical concerns?
- Do any members of your family have medical issues?
- How often are you sexually active, and do you have a new partner?
- What type of sex do you have? Is it painful? Do you ever bleed after?
- Do you use birth control?
- Are you concerned you might be pregnant?
- Are you trying to get pregnant?
- What do you use to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?
It’s important to be completely honest in your answers because the questions are to benefit your health, says Dr. Marchand. “Remember that a doctor can never share any personal information about your visit (doing so could easily lead to medical board discipline or loss of licensure),” he says. Doctors can share your information with other members of their health team if it is necessary to provide your care or coordinate your care. Doctors can also share your information with your permission. Doctors can also share your information with law enforcement to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of an individual or the public. Dr. Alagia adds that having an honest dialogue with your health care professional helps them recommend guideline-based care such as STD screening, cancer screenings and other services.
You should also expect questions about your diet, life stressors and exercise habits, says Dr. Marchand. “Since screening for depression and anxiety is very important for all patients, you should be ready for questions about how you’re feeling,” he says.
Breast Exam
Starting at the age of 20, a breast test may be conducted every one to three years to identify any irregularities or lumps, says Dr. Swarup, but recommendations vary. For example, the ACOG advises that clinical breast examinations may be offered every one to three years in women ages 25 to 39, and once a year in women over the age of 40.
The American Cancer Society does not recommend clinical breast exams nor self breast exams at all due to lack of evidence that it contributes very little to early breast cancer detection when mammography is available. Currently, mammograms (x-ray images of the breast) are recommended annually in women over the age of 45 and once every two years in women over the age of 55.
The ACOG that women between the ages of 25 and 39 be offered a clinical breast test every one to three years, and that women over the age of 40 be offered them annually. In either case, the ACOG recommends women make the decision that’s best for them.
If your practitioner conducts a clinical breast exam, you will be asked to lift one arm behind your head, explains Dr. Alagia. This allows your doctor to better examine each breast, applying gentle pressure in circular movements. “They will look for abnormal lumps or cysts. If any lumps are discovered, a biopsy will be ordered to determine if they are cancerous or not,” says Dr. Alagia.
Pelvic Exam
A pelvic, or internal exam, is performed to check the vulva, vagina, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries and rectum for abnormalities. Adolescents don’t need a pelvic test unless they are experiencing abnormal bleeding, discharge, or pelvic pain. It’s unlikely that you’ll have a pelvic test before the age of 21 unless such symptoms are present. Although the test may be uncomfortable, it should not be painful. Keeping your body relaxed will help minimize discomfort.
During a pelvic exam, your doctor will also examine your vulva and rectum for irritation, redness or other signs of anything concerning, says Dr. Swarup. A lubricated speculum is placed into the vagina to look inside it, allowing the cervix to be evaluated for signs of disease. After removing the speculum, your doctor will gently insert one or two fingers (using a lubricated glove) into your vaginal canal while placing gentle pressure on the lower abdomen, explains Dr. Alagia. This allows them to check for abnormalities in the size, shape, and position of the uterus and ovaries.
You can expect to feel pressure, says Dr. Alagia, adding that it’s important to communicate any feelings of pain, heaviness, bloating or tenderness––this helps your doctor understand potential causes for concern.
Cervical Cancer Screening
Depending on your age, you may undergo cervical cancer screening via a Pap smear and/or human papillomavirus (HPV) test during your pelvic exam. A Pap smear looks for cellular changes in the cervix that may turn into cervical cancer, and an HPV test checks for the presence of the human papillomavirus, the virus responsible for causing these changes.
Current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines advise that women between the ages of 21 and 29 be screened every three years with a Pap smear alone; women ages 30 to 65 may be screened every three years with a Pap test only, every five years with HPV testing only or every five years with both.
For both HPV and Pap tests, your health care practitioner will insert a lubricated speculum into your vaginal canal to view your vagina and cervix, explains Dr. Alagia. “They will swipe your cervix with a swab and send it to a lab to ensure there are no signs of cervical cancer and ensure your cervix is healthy,” he says.
Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Screening
Even if you think you are not at risk, you should discuss STD screening with your doctor, says Dr. Alagia. Currently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following testing schedule for STDS:
- All adults and adolescents ages 13 to 64 should be tested at least once for HIV.
- All sexually active women younger than 25 should be tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia yearly, and women over 25 with new or multiple sex partners or a sex partner with an STD should be tested yearly.
- Pregnant women should be tested for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C early in their pregnancy, and those who are at risk (new or multiple sex partners) should also be tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
A 14-year-old girl taking Primary Leaving Examinations (PLE) at Wakiso Junior School died on Wednesday after suddenly falling ill in the examination room. Winnie Nabukenya succumbed to a brain tumour.
On Wednesday, 27 pupils of St Christine Primary School in Kakumiro District missed the Maths paper after they arrived one hour and 16 minutes late. The pupils were forced to walk about 15km to Uneb centre after the school director failed to transport them to the venue. They pleaded with Uneb officials but the pleas fell on deaf ears.
Other pupils have for years been forced to write final exams from hospitals. Why subject candidates to this torture? Some have died in the process. There are also several cases involving unscrupulous head teachers but the board does not seem to care. The scourge of this scandal negates the maxim that the first rule of law is to protect the innocent.
Uneb was established by an Act of Parliament in 1983, Cap 137. Last year, a new law: The Uneb Act, 2021, repealed the old Act and introduced what they called “major reforms”. However, the so-called reforms did not address the plight of bedridden candidates and others denied exams on flimsy grounds.
The preoccupation was on broadening offences (7-13), penalties (six months in prison to five years) and changing executive secretary to executive director.
In the new law, Parliament empowered the board to conduct primary, secondary, and such other examinations as it may consider desirable in the public interest; make rules regulating the conduct of examinations and for all purposes incidental thereto and appoint supervisors and invigilators etc. to assist in the conduct of examinations.
Within the confines of these broad functions, there is nothing that stops Uneb from drafting reasonable test rules and regulations. There must be two or three sets of exams at all levels to cater for distressed candidates with exceptional circumstances. The board chairperson should task her executive and test directors to draft new rules and regulations.
Enforcing examinations rules in a mechanistic way disregards context and clutters the spirit of examinations policy which was never intended to punish wounded candidates. Ignoring or rejecting appeals of candidates with a good cause, is archaic and uncalled for. If the fear is about compromising integrity of exams, let the board in consultation with the minister and Parliament, ingrain the exceptional circumstances clause in the context of the prevailing societal condition.
It is wrong for Uneb officials to punish candidates and their parents for matters beyond their control. The laws don’t function in a vacuum. It is important to understand the fundamental purpose of these laws and how they impact the people. A robust legal system serves as the foundation of a happy and healthy society.

You may have heard that a pelvic test is part of your yearly checkup and that your doctor will perform one during this time.
A pelvic test can be a little scary, especially if you're unsure what to expect or why it's being done. But there are some things about the pelvic test that you should know before your doctor does one on you.
This article will cover what a pelvic test is, how it works, and why it's important for your health.
What is a pelvic exam
Pelvic exams can be scary and uncomfortable, but they're important for your health.
A pelvic test is a common part of a woman's annual health checkup. It's when your doctor or nurse practitioner looks at your reproductive organs-the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina-to see if there are any signs of problems.
The test can be uncomfortable because your doctor or nurse practitioner will check to see if there are lumps or other abnormalities. It's also possible that you'll be asked to cough or strain during the test so that they can get a better look at your internal organs.
During a pelvic exam, your doctor will examine your reproductive organs to check for signs of infection or other health concerns. You may also have an external and internal pelvic test if you're experiencing symptoms like pain or discomfort in the area.
If you're planning on having children or are already pregnant, you'll need to get regular pelvic exams and prenatal care throughout your pregnancy. Your doctor can also help confirm whether or not you've had a miscarriage.
When do you need a pelvic exam
Pelvic exams are an important part of your gynaecological health.
The answer is any time you're experiencing symptoms related to your reproductive system or if you're having sex and want to be sure that everything is working properly.
You may wonder what things can go wrong with your reproductive system. It's pretty common for women to experience some form of reproductive health problem at some point in their lives. For example, many women have vaginal infections like bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections.
Other women suffer from endometriosis or fibroids; some women have problems with their ovaries (like ovarian cysts), and uterine cancer; and still, others struggle with sexual dysfunction like pain during intercourse or difficulty reaching orgasm.
Suppose any of these things sound familiar to you. In that case, it's time to schedule an appointment with your gynaecologist so they can examine the area around your vagina and cervix-the area known as the pelvis-and determine whether there is anything unusual going on there that requires treatment.
Uterine cancer
Uterine cancer is a disease that affects the uterus, the muscular organ in a woman's body where the baby grows. It's important to know that not all tumours are cancerous, but some can be.
Uterine cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and it can be very serious if not treated properly. There are different types of uterine cancer, based on where they start: Endometrial, cervical and vaginal.
The symptoms of uterine cancer include:
- Abnormal bleeding (including bleeding between periods or after menopause)
- Pain during intercourse
- Vaginal discharge or other changes in your vaginal area (such as itching or irritation)
It's important to know that other conditions besides uterine cancer may also cause these symptoms. If you have any of these symptoms, talk to your doctor about making an appointment for further testing.
How to do pelvic exam
During a pelvic exam, your doctor will use one or more tools to examine the outside and inside of your vagina and rectum. She may also use instruments to collect samples from the cervix, uterus and vagina for testing. She may also use an instrument called a speculum to hold open the vagina so she can see inside it better.
The test takes place on an test table in an test room with you covered with a sheet or gown. It's important that you feel comfortable during this process because it can sometimes be uncomfortable, depending on how far into the vaginal canal your doctor needs to insert her fingers to do her job properly.
Suppose you're nervous about having something inserted into your body at all. In that case, I encourage you to take some time beforehand to practise self-care techniques that might make this experience easier for yourself and those around you!
How often should you get pelvic exam?
The answer depends on what kind of care you have.
A pelvic test is often recommended once a year for women who have been sexually active or reached menopause. If you've had any STIs in the past year, or if you've been diagnosed with a chronic condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you must see your doctor at least once a year.
If you have no risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or pregnancy, you don't need to have an annual pelvic exam.
But suppose you have risk factors, like being sexually active with multiple partners or having a history of STDs. In that case, it's important to go in at least once every year for a full evaluation of your reproductive organs, blood work, and other tests as needed (such as pap smears).
How to relax muscles during pelvic exam
When you're at the gynaecologist's office, you probably don't want to be reminded that you must have a pelvic exam.
But it's important to remember that you're in good hands with your doctor and that they need to do this to make sure everything is okay. Here are some tips for relaxing your muscles during a pelvic exam:
- Remember that it's not personal! Your doctor needs to do this so they can check everything out, and they aren't looking for any reason to find problems. They want everything to be healthy and normal.
- Breathe! This is a great time to practice some deep breathing exercises so that your muscles are relaxed and ready for an examination.
- Make sure your doctor knows if there's anything about the procedure that makes you uncomfortable or anxious. They may be able to offer an alternative way of getting good results without having to do anything more invasive than necessary.
Tips for a comfortable pelvic exam
We know that an annual pelvic test is necessary for your healthcare routine. But it can be a little nerve-wracking, right?
Well, the good news is that we've got some tips to help you feel more comfortable during your next pelvic exam!
- Ask questions. If there's something you don't understand or want to clarify, speak up! Your doctor or nurse practitioner will be happy to answer any questions about your pelvic exam.
- Be honest about what feels good and what doesn't. If something hurts, say so! And if something feels great… let them know that too! They'll be able to use that information to help them do their job better for future exams. And potentially for other patients.
- Make sure to follow up with any concerns or questions you may have after the exam. We know it can be frustrating when something doesn't go perfectly the first time. But making sure your questions are answered before moving on makes everything easier going forward!
Pelvic test Singapore cost
The pelvic test cost in Singapore depends on the type of examination needed. For example, if you have infertility treatment, you must have a thorough pelvic exam. One that includes an internal inspection of your vagina and cervix.
This will help determine if there are any abnormalities or lesions present in these areas that could be causing infertility issues. In Singapore, a pelvic test can cost upwards of $100!

We scored companies based on these measurements:
Price (50% of score): We averaged the no-exam life insurance rates for males and females in excellent health at ages 30, 40 and 50 for $500,000 and $1 million and a term length of 20 years.
Maximum face amount for lowest eligible age (10% of score): Companies with higher no-exam life insurance coverage amounts for the lowest age earned more points. Note that maximum no-exam coverage can sometimes become lower if you apply at a higher age.
Age eligible for best length/amount (10% of score): Companies offering no-exam life insurance to folks over age 50 earned extra points.
Accelerated death benefit available (10% of score): This important feature lets you access part of your own death benefit in the event you develop a terminal illness
Option to convert to a permanent life insurance policy (10% of score): This is a good option to have in place if you decide you want a longer policy, especially if your health has declined and you don’t want to shop for new life insurance.
