Student Success Office (SSO) resources
The Student Success Office (SSO) has some great resources and information available for students on how to succeed on university tests and exams, https://uwaterloo.ca/student-success/resources/tests-and-exams.
Check your course site for instructions
Look for instructions from your instructor on what to do if a problem arises during the exam. They should provide advice on what information to collect (e.g., an explanation the issue, time of the issue, the actions you took, what you completed and did not finish, etc.) and to whom to send that.
