Remember to check how long it will take you to travel to the exam.

Get to the exam early. Follow the directions to find the exam room or go to the reception of the building and ask for directions.

Do not bring your phone or anything else electronic inside the exam room.

• Do not bring food or drinks to your desk in the exam room (except water in a white transparent bottle).
• Listen carefully to the instructions which the supervisor will read out.

• There will be a clock in the exam room to help you with your timing.

After the exam

• Stop writing immediately when the invigilator tells you to do so.

• Stay in your seat until the invigilator tells you to leave the room.
• If you have any question or problems, tell the supervisor.
