Exam Day Tips
By exam day the preparation is done — the goal is simply to let your child perform at their best. A calm, well-rested start makes a real difference.
Sit a full mock testBefore the test
- ✓Get a full night’s sleep — it beats any last-minute cramming.
- ✓Eat a proper breakfast that won’t spike and crash.
- ✓Arrive early so there’s no rushing or stress.
- ✓Do a couple of light, familiar questions to warm up — not new ones.
During the test
- ✓Read each question fully before answering.
- ✓Answer the easy questions first to build momentum.
- ✓Flag hard ones and come back — never leave a blank you could guess.
Time management
- ✓Glance at the clock at set checkpoints, not constantly.
- ✓Give every question a fair share of time.
- ✓Leave a moment at the end to check flagged questions.
Staying calm
- ✓Slow, steady breaths reset a racing mind.
- ✓A hard section is hard for everyone — keep moving.
- ✓One tough question doesn’t decide the result.
What to bring
- ✓Everything on the official confirmation notice.
- ✓Spare pencils/pens and an eraser.
- ✓Water and a watch if allowed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Cramming new material the night before.
- Spending too long on one hard question.
- Leaving questions blank instead of making a sensible guess.
- Forgetting to check flagged questions at the end.
