Teachers Mock Exams Hints and Tips

What To Expect On The Day

Do not revise or work the night before your exam; you need to be well rested and ready.

Have a good breakfast – feed your brain!

You will go to school as normal and sit your exam during the day, probably in the school hall.

Go to the toilet before the exam – if you are feeling nervous, that will make you feel like you need to go to the toilet and will distract you during the exam.

Make sure you use a pencil to mark your answers – never pen!

Make sure you have 2 nice sharp pencils and a rubber.

Mark your answer on the answer sheet, not on the test paper. Make sure you mark the correct number box for that question.

If you do make a mistake, rub it out completely and make sure your answer is clear.

Papers are marked by a machine, so if you answer is unclear, if will be marked wrong.

Wear an analogue watch – this will help you keep track of the time is you are unable to see that clock (it may also be handy for working out time questions.)
