How to pass your exams

Top tips

Use these top tips to make sure you are fully prepared for your exams:

Get ready the night before. Make sure you have everything you need - pens, pencils, calculator etc.
Know where and what time your exam will be.
Don't be late! Set as many alarms as you like to ensure that you arrive at your exam in plenty of time.
Read the instructions on the exam paper. You may only have to answer some of the questions.
Make sure you know how long you have to sit the exam, and that you can see the clock. Consider how many marks are available for each question and allocate a proportional amount of time for each one.
Read the question! I know this sounds simple, but many students misread questions.
If you can't answer a question, leave it for now and come back to it at the end if you have time.
Write legibly! If the marker can't read your answer, you won't get any marks.
Relax... Take a deep breath at the beginning of the exam, this will help you to collect your thoughts and keep you calm whilst you are writing.
