FORGET EVERYTHING AND JUST FOCUS ON YOUR EXAM

hey people!

Since most of you are going for the exam tomorrow, my sincere advice from personal experience is - JUST THINK OF YOUR EXAM!
Everything else around you is trivial, so do not pay attention to it.

Arrange your ID and stationery before going to sleep.
(2 pencils, pencil sharpener/eraser/highlighter)
Try to get a good night's sleep.
Wake up, pray and leave at least half an hour before the exam.
Once there, just relax, chill and do not think of the exam. Make friends.

The invigilators will call you one by one, ask you to leave your things outside the hall and then allow you to go in.
I advise you NOT to keep a big amount of cash or any expensive items.
Take your mobile if necessary - preferably DONT!
You will not die without your mobile, in addition , you do not get to time to use it during the exam.


Once the exam starts,the first one is listening, so make sure you hear everything properly because the invigilators do a speaker testing before the exam starts. DO NOT BE SHY if the volume is too low - SPEAK UP if it is not audible!!! Or be doomed!

Moreover, if you feel the urge to go to the loo, go ahead before the exam starts. Once you are in the hall, it is difficult and distracting to go out, especially during the exam.

You have a water bottle and glass on your desk. Keep it handy and take regular sips of water after each exam. Do NOT flush it down your throat once you see it or risk running to and fro the toilet.

Hear any unnecessary noise/whispering/disturbance during the exam?
TELL THE INVIGILATORS - they are there to make your life easy.

You will have big clocks around the room to keep you on track.
Since you receive your exam papers well in advance, make a small time table as to how much time you are going to give to each question/section/task.
Furthermore, at intervals of 30/20/15/5 min the announcer keeps reminding you of the time.

Thats all I could think of right now,

be cool,
bestest of luck ;)

  • Super advice Mubs!

    Everyone should be in bed, now, as I will be, very soon.

    By the time you are registering for the exam tomorrow, my daughter Dana and her # 1 buddy Tamara will have arrived from London, In Sha Allah.

    The mood in London is very quiet and sombre, but the capital survived the German blitz and the IRA bombs and will not be defeated by this outrage.

    Good luck on your mission, warriors! I am thinking of you and remembering you in my prayers.

    Good night

    Tony
