Ensure exams extra time is shown correctly

See support ticket 753447

We've recently started using Exam Screen to display the necessary information in exam rooms. An invigilator spotted that during a 1h45m exam, a pupil with 25% extra time was shown as getting 26 minutes on the paperwork produced in iSAMS, but Exam Screen showed it should be 27 minutes.

We checked this with JCQ who said extra time is always rounded up to the next whole number, so should have been 27.

Please correct iSAMS to bring it in line with the JCQ requirements for exam access arrangements.

Extra time in the exam module

Merged
When we print out the invigilator printouts, iSAMS rounds DOWN the extra time. This is incorrect and against JCQ rules. The time needs to be rounded UP so that the candidates get the correct amount of time added. Please see the attached.
