If you are not sitting exams right now keep this until you need it or pass this on to someone else. Each of these mistakes really happens, so I am sure some have happened to your own friends. Exams are very stressful times and people make easy mistakes. Don’t fall for them! General Advice : Get in the habit of doing everything slowly and carefully with anything to do for exams and with your mind in the ‘here and now’ and fully switched on.

1. Not turning up or turning up to the wrong exam or the wrong place

PROBLEM: Although it may seem amazing year after year, an unlucky student ‘forgets’ about the exam, thinks it is the next day or the morning instead of the afternoon. I am sure that you are ‘way too good’ to make this mistake.

SOLUTION: Take the time to review on several occasions with your brain ‘switched on’ your exam timetable, and even review it with someone else. Do not rely on what your friend thinks or even what you think! Only believein written down black and white ! Double-check for yourself with the original information. Review it on Saturday morning a week before the start of the exam and then every morning when you get up or before you go to sleep. Make sure you are certain where the exam will be held -don’t assume!

2. Turning up with the wrong equipment

PROBLEM: The exam assumes that you have a calculator with you, but you didn’t bring yours! You either waste time trying to borrow one, but the person you borrow it from is going to need it too, or you try and make do. Neither very satisfactory!

SOLUTION: Check what you are allowed to take into an exam and make sure that you have all the equipment necessary one week before you will need it. If you can have two of everything – at worst you will be very popular with any friend that is not so organized as you!
