Hints & Tips / Useful Information 

Preparing well for your exams can make a real difference to your performance on the day. Please take a few minutes to read the guidance below to ensure you arrive fully prepared and understand the regulations that apply to all candidates.

1. Equipment

Make sure you bring all the relevant equipment including pens (make sure they are black biro’s), pencils, calculators for the relevant Maths paper (NOT PAPER 1)  

2. Student ID

You MUST have an in-date photographic ID – your college student card. You must put this on your exam desk as you arrive – if we cannot verify your identity, you may not be able to sit your exam. It is your responsibility to ensure you have this with you. 

3. Know your exams timetable

Exam dates and times will be on your statement of entry, which will be sent to your College email account

4. Arrive in plenty of time

When you arrive at college you will need to register, leave your bag and head to the exam room.  Ensure you aren’t rushing, arrive early rather than late. 

5. Know your candidate number

This will be printed on your desk card and must be added to all your exam papers 

6. Know the rules

The JCQ documents can be found here. Make sure you read this document carefully as a breach of the regulations can lead to disqualification from all your examinations.
