Open **Exam Center → Exam → Exam Hall** and add the rooms you use for exams, with the **number of seats** in each.

When you schedule a paper, Academium refuses a hall that is **too small for the class**. Choose a bigger hall, or split the class across two halls.

Halls are chosen for each paper on the exam schedule. See [Exam Schedule](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-sms/article/sms-exam-schedule.md).

## With Academium Surepass

Your exam halls become **lab rooms** in **Academium Surepass**, ready for seating students at computers for CBT exams. See [Lab Rooms](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-lab-rooms.md) and [Seating and temporary passwords](https://helpcenter.academium.com.ng/academium-surepass/article/sp-seating-and-temporary-passwords.md).
