本文描述了向九十五所英国大学的注册人员发送的考试时间表调查问卷的结果。该调查提出了三个特定类别的问题。首先，向大学询问其考试时间表问题的性质：涉及多少人、多少房间、多少时间以及与该问题相关的困难是什么？其次，我们询问他们的机构是如何解决这个问题的，以及使用的是手动系统还是自动化系统。最后，我们问一个好的时间表需要具备哪些品质。最后，我们根据调查答复提出一些关于通用自动时间表系统必须满足哪些标准的评论。
This paper describes the results of a questionnaire on examination timetabling sent to the registrars of ninety five British Universities. The survey asked questions in three specific categories. Firstly, universities were asked about the nature of their examination timetabling problem: how many people, rooms, periods are involved and what difficulties are associated with the problem? Secondly, we asked about how the problem is solved at their institution and whether a manual or automated system is used. Lastly, we asked what qualities are required in a good timetable. We conclude by making some comments, based on the survey replies, as to what sort of criteria a general automated timetabling system must meet.
