TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EXAMINATION

A successful result depends on good preparation and appropriate behaviour during the examination. You should be reminded of the following tips for a successful examination:

• Stay calm and focused; avoid anxiety as much as possible.
• Read the instructions slowly - at least twice before you start.
• Ask for clarification (if needed) from the invigilators and follow instructions as may be given by the invigilators.   
• Fill out personal details first (as required) before proceeding with the examination.
• Select questions that you can attempt better.
• Divide the time among the questions equally, to avoid running out of time.
• Think properly before you write your answers.
• Sketch a rough outline of answers, if possible use Mnemonic to remember the points.
• Adhere to the time allocations
• Attempt the necessary number of questions
• Write clearly, using simple language.
