Collection: Exam Tables

Exam tables are not the same as regular desks. They need to be stable and clear. Students should be able to sit without anything in the way. That means the surface needs to be flat enough for papers and pens. The height needs to work for long periods. These tables are designed to sit in rows or spaced out to help with focus and fairness during tests.

On top of this teachers and invigilators need to arrange rooms fast and without fuss. That is why school exam tables are designed to be easy to set up. They are sturdy so they don’t wobble when someone writes and that helps to make the exam experience less distracting for pupils.

First, choose tables that suit the space available. Consider how many students will be seated together and the layout of the exam hall. Some schools use long tables arranged in rows, while others prefer individual desks, so spacing will vary. Ensuring correct spacing is essential to reduce the risk of cheating and to help students feel comfortable and focused.

Stability is equally important. Tables that wobble or move can make writing difficult, so schools often choose exam tables with solid frames and strong legs. The tabletop should also be smooth and large enough to accommodate exam papers, answer booklets, rulers, calculators, and any permitted materials, to help exams halls stay organised.

As exam tables are not used daily, they should be easy to stack or store between exam periods. Folding or stackable designs allow staff to clear rooms quickly and efficiently.
