ou can avoid any stress or delays on your exam day by bringing all of the correct forms and equipment. 

BEFORE YOU SET OFF:

  • If you are a school student, wear your school uniform. 
  • Aim to arrive 45 minutes before the start of the exam so that you can relax before it begins. 
  • Allow plenty of time for traffic or travel disruption (and always have an alternative travel plan in mind).

ID and statement of entry

You need to bring your ID and your Statement of Entry to all examinations.

WHAT COUNTS AS ACCEPTABLE ID?

Only the following is an acceptable form of ID: 

  • student's national identification card
  • student's passport.

If you do not have this, please speak to your teacher or school exams co-ordinator well in advance of your exams. 

WHAT IS A STATEMENT OF ENTRY?

A Statement of Entry is a document that confirms your exam registration. It will include a list of your chosen subjects and the exam dates for each module, as well as your name, date of birth and school. 

You should receive your Statement of Entry from your school before your exams.

  • Pen
  • Pencil and transparent pencil case
  • Statement of entry
  • Passport or ID
  • Medication (agreed with supervisors)

Items that depend on the exam board

  • Calculator (only agreed types)
  • Geometric set (without its box)
  • Set Text and notes (based on board’s regulations)

Remember NOT to bring:
