At the end of the exam

You’ll give in all the paper you’ve used, including your notes, so if you’ve made some notes because you didn’t have time to finish an answer, don’t cross them through.

Write the numbers of the questions you have attempted in the grid on the first answer book, and write the number of answer books in the box on the desk record card. Attach the desk record and question paper to your answer books, and make sure they are collected by the invigilator so they can be marked.

An identification number is used to identify your exam work rather than your name, so script markers don’t know whose work they have.

It can be fun to spend time with fellow students after the exam, but discussing the exam questions can lead to needless worry. Have a well-deserved rest and perhaps a treat, and congratulate yourself on getting to the end of the course.

If you are going on to further study, it is probably a good idea, in a few days’ time, to make some notes on how the exam went and how you may change your approach to revision next time. Try using the statements below to guide your thoughts.
