I just sat the test on 14th July for the year 11 exam. Don't have great tips but here you go:
- Remember to sleep well before the exam day and DON'T study a couple of days before. I did it, and trust me, it really helps.
- On exam day, just pretend like you are solving a normal worksheet at home, I'm not too sure if this will work for you, but it did for me.
- After you complete 10 questions, mark them on your answer sheet. (The answer sheet is separate) otherwise, you might leave yourself with 1 min at the end to do it for 60 questions.
- For the creative writing bit, make sure you use at least one of the quotes/images provided, I nearly forgot. It's in the instructions, but you don't have time to read that!
- For the reading comprehension part, read the question first, then the options, and then the text. It wastes a lot of time if you read the text first.
- You WILL have to guess LOTS of questions, so make sure you make an educated guess. When you need to blindly guess (trust me you will have to due to time constrain) choose 'c' or the most recurring letter. Many people say it works. It's better than randomly selecting your answers.
- Try to come a bit early to your examination place. Get used to the environment. You'll be less nervous, and the less nervous you are, the better.
- To be honest, while you are waiting for the exam to start, everyone looks so smart. That can get a bit pressuring, but remember, they think the same of you. So you are really smart too 🙂
Give it your best shot. Have a good night's sleep, breakfast, exercise, skincare, or anything that you find relaxing. I hope you do amazing!
Hope this helps a bit
