The Day Of
Here are some tips to help exam day go smoothly:
Work out what you need to take with you on exam day and organise this the night before.
Make sure you remember to bring your NZQA exam slip and calculator! (if necessary)
Eat a good, light breakfast – this will help with energy and concentration.
Go to the toilet before the exam starts.
If you feel yourself getting worried before your exam - spend some time focusing on your breathing.
When you sit down to do your exam, take time to slow your breathing and relax.
Read through the exam paper carefully. Underline key words and instructions.
Work out how long you have for each question or section.
Aim to have time to re-read answers through and to make any changes.
Work on the questions that you find easiest first.
