Look After Yourself: Eat well, stay hydrated, exercise, and get enough sleep – it will help you stay calm, focused, and ready.
Ask for Help: Your tutors and our Student Support team are always available to answer any questions or offer any guidance you may need.
Stay Positive: You’ve worked hard – believe in yourself and show what you’ve learned!
Exam Day Checklist
Be Prepared: Pack everything the night before: black pens, pencils, calculator, clear water bottle, and your student ID.
Arrive Early: Grab your free breakfast and settle in.
Check Your Exam Room: You may not be in the same room for every exam. Check the student app or boards outside Student Services.
