Five exam-day habits that protect your marks

What to pack, how to use reading time, and why the night before is for sleep, not cramming.

AEAugment Education TeamSeptember 20, 20261 min read

The last 24 hours matter less for what you learn and more for how you perform. Five habits make the difference.

The night before

  • To do:

    Pack your bag: ID, pens, calculator, water

  • To do:

    Skim your summary notes, nothing new

  • To do:

    Lights out at a normal time

In the exam room

  • Use reading time to plan, not to start answering.

  • Do the questions you’re sure of first.

  • Leave five minutes to check units and rounding.

Calm is a skill. Practise it in mock exams, not on the day.
