Examination timetabling is a time management task in educational institutions and defined as scheduling for the exams as the set of university courses. Timetabling is one of the complex things to be resolved in the world of education since it has to be neat and well-organized. Therefore, the university administration must avoid any overlapping and include the gap period between courses to give preparation of the student for upcoming papers. The main purpose of this research is to generate an effective flexible exam timetabling and to investigate the preference examination timetabling for CS249 part 5 students at UiTM Seremban 3. Besides, Lingo software 18 .0 is being used to complete the task to find the conclusion of the study. In this research, the gap for students who follow the study plan is 3 days per course while for the repeated papers, it is only 2 days per course. If there are some students whose take an extra credit hour in a current semester, the students should follow the situation 2 since the situation 1 is a fixed for the students whose follow the study plan while situation 2 is for students who have repeated papers, take an extra credit hour and many more. By using the mathematical model, examination timetabling is easier to be schedule compare to when the examination timetabling is schedule manually. Finally, the study shows the number of the gap is required based on the number of credit hours of each subject that students take for the current semester.
