He also said the board would sanction any candidate caught violating the directive.
Oloyede also disclosed that no candidate would be allowed to sit for the examination one hour into the stipulated start time.
The registrar added that the board has put in place features aimed at further simplifying its examination delivery with the use of nine keys in addition to instructions to candidates.
