THE DAY OF THE EXAM

Good preparation from the start is essential. If the exam is in the morning, all that you need should have been laid out the evening before so as to

prevent a last-minute panic. Obviously that means all writing implements, geometrical instruments, calculators and so on; these days it also can mean certain texts or pamphlets that you are permitted-or in the case of ‘Open Book’ literature exams, require. Most exam centres can lend you a pen or whatever, but they are most unlikely to have a stock of set texts, so be warned!
