Based on how we were treated in public exams at school where we were told at the end to make sure names and numbers are on the papers and the examiner waited for us to do this, I tend to ask for the same with those sitting the exam at my exam centre. That is part of the admin as far as I am concerned, not part of the exam time. I'd be interested to hear the view of others running exam centres.

I think that is a key point and one thing that surprised me when they made the change - ie that they had not made it longer with and expected three answers in as much depth as the previous two.
