Arrive early: you don’t need to be rushing and stressed.
Read everything: read through the entire paper once.
Reread and choose: reread the questions and choose which ones you’ll answer.
Begin well: start with your best questions first and work your way down to the ones you might be less confident about.
Read the question carefully: you can’t be too careful about reading the question and make sure you understand what they are looking for.
Stick to the question asked: drifting away from the question is the single greatest way to lose marks. So stick to exactly what you are asked.
Plan answers: be clear about what you want to say by planning answers.
Watch the time: know how much time you have to answer and stick to it. If you’re not finished, move on and come back to it later.
Don’t waste time: no need to do things like write out the questions. That’s time wasting. Do what you’re there to do: answer.
Answer all questions: attempt all required questions, even the ones you don’t think you know. You might get a few marks for something you write but you can get no marks for a blank page.
Don’t give up: stick with it even if you feel you’re not answering well. You may be doing better than you think.
Read over paper: read carefully over all your answers. Proof them for errors and add any extra information you now remember.
Check against instructions: do one last check that you have all required questions answered.
