Exam tips:
• Read the instructions on the examination paper carefully

• Plan your time according to the marks for each question. For example, a question worth
three marks requires less time and a shorter answer than one worth ten marks. If a question
has several parts, then the parts with more marks will need more time and more developed
answers
• Do not leave out questions or parts of questions. Remember, no answer means no mark.
Read each question carefully so that you are clear what you need to do.
• Identify the key words – you could underline or highlight them.
• Identify the other key words and guidance, e.g. if it is important to use your own words, or
write no more than a certain number of words in your answer, the question will tell you.
• Read through all parts of a question before starting your answer. This will help to make
sure you do not repeat material and waste time.
• Read any text(s) you are given in the examination more than once – circle or underline key
information and ideas to use in your answer. You might find it useful to use a question
mark or wiggly line next to anything in the text you are unsure of and need to look back at
• Plan your answer before you write them.
• Make sure that your answer is presented helpfully, e.g. your hand-writing is clear and any
corrections you make to your work can be read easily.
