B1 PRELIMINARY Tips for exam day

Tips for exam day

Sleep well. Go to bed early the day before the exam
and get a good night’s sleep.

Eat well. Have a healthy breakfast to give you energy.

Pack your bag carefully. You need a sharp pencil and

an eraser for the exam. You should also take some
spare pencils and a pencil sharpener.

Arrive early at the exam centre. Leave your house

early so you don’t need to worry about being late.

Always read the questions. Reading the questions

will tell you useful information that will help you
understand the situations.

Make notes. It’s OK to write on the question paper.

You can underline parts of the reading text, or write
things down while you listen.

Use your time well. If you cannot answer a question,

move on and come back to it later. You shouldn’t
spend all your time on one question. You need to
answer as many questions as you can.

Check your answers. After you finish, look back and

check your answers. Make sure you have answered all
the questions and check your spelling.

Answer all the questions. Don’t leave any answers

blank. If you’re not sure of the answer, guess!

Try to relax! Remember that you have studied hard

and now you are ready for the exam.
