Column Headings

This page explains the meanings of the various columns which appear in the “Sittings & Rooms” section of each examination’s main page, as well as in various tables throughout the system. Some terminology used here is explained more fully on the terminology page.

This page refers primarily to the “Sittings & Rooms” section of each examination’s main page, but the same column headings occur throughout the system.
