This question is related to the Campus Section of International Open University
1. How will I open the final exam?
You may open the final exam by signing in to your IOU account and going to the respective course page where, at the bottom of the page, you will see the link for the final exam, in shaa Allah.

Once you access the link, you will be asked to enter the password, which a proctor will need to enter for each student.
