Exam tips
- Read the official instructions the night before. Know marking and negative marks.
- Attempt questions you can finish cleanly first.
- Mark uncertain questions for review; do not leave them unmarked if you have a reasoned choice and negative marking is limited.
- Keep 10–15 minutes at the end to revisit marked questions.
- On a computer-based test, practise the palette and timer, not only the subject.
- Sleep and a simple meal beat last-minute cramming.
