OK, so the day of the exam is here. These tips will help you to do the best you can on the day of the exam.
- If your exam is in the morning, get up early and have a good breakfast. This will give you lots of energy.
- Don’t forget to take your things!
- Get to school early. Leave plenty of time to get there. If you are late, you will feel more nervous. Check which room your exam is in.
- Go to the toilet before the exam starts!
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths if you feel nervous.
- Listen carefully to the teacher while he/she is explaining what to do.
- Read the instructions carefully. If you don’t understand the instructions ask the teacher.
- Look through the test and see how much time you have to do each part. Write the time you have for each part on the test paper to help you organise your time.
- Write your name on the exam paper.
- If possible, start with the easiest section first. This will help you relax.
- When you have finished, check your answers carefully.
- In a writing exam, check your writing carefully for any mistakes.

So my routine for the exam day is this:
-I wake up at 7:00am, and have a shower
-Then i drink coffee and eat a lot of dark chocolate, so i will have a lot of energy
-then I revise for 5 minutes
-I go to school early that day
-when my friends come, I ask them to check me, and we revise together
-i buy a bottle of water in the canteen
-then i go to the exam hall and sit at the first desk, so i cant see my classmates, because the can distract me
-i switch off my phone
-i take out three pens,
i listen to the teacher

this is very good .................thanks my teachers
I get up early in the morning, because I like to do everything in time. If the test starts at ten 'clock, I'll be there at half past ten, because I hate to do things in rush. I also repeat some critical things and after that, I go calmly to exam...;)
