Check ahead with your school or college what you might need for each exam if you aren’t sure.  \n• Fuel your brain with a healthy nutritious breakfast. You might be able to take a bottle of water into to exam – check with your school or college.  \n• Arrive early, this will help eliminate any last-minute jitters and help you prepare mentally. If you are delayed for any reason, contact your school or college immediately.  \nBefore the exam starts  \nMake sure you understand the instructions on the front of the exam paper, including which questions to answer.  \nTake your time when reading the questions. Do you understand what asking you to do? Break it down by highlighting,  underlining  or circling the main points.  \nDo not panic. If you come across a question you can’t answer, move on and come back to it at the end.  \n• Re-read the question.  \n• Note down anything you do know about the question – can you use any of it in your answer?  \n• Break it down – is there anything you can remember about it? It’s better to have a go than leave the paper blank.  \nCHEVRON-CIRCLE-LEFT  \nPlan, plan, plan. Check the number of questions, and how many marks they are worth.
