Day-before and exam-day checklists — Exam preparation tips

The day before: pack your bag (admit card, pens, pencil, eraser, geometry box, water bottle), do a light revision of your summaries, check the route, set two alarms and sleep on time — no new chapters, no late film. Exam morning: a proper breakfast, a calm last glance at notes, a few slow breaths and reach early. To find the latest time to leave, add the journey and the early minutes and count back from the start time.

Study tip

Nothing new, nothing late — “pack, revise lightly, sleep, eat, reach early”

  1. Day before: pack the bag tonight, a light revision, check the route, set two alarms, sleep on time. Avoid: a new chapter, studying till 3 AM, packing in the morning.
  2. Exam morning: a proper breakfast, the admit card, water, reach early, a calm glance, slow breaths. Avoid: skipping breakfast, reaching just in time, a brand-new topic.
  3. Latest leaving time = start time − journey − minutes early.

Use it for: The evening before and the morning of every exam.

Worked example: 🏫 Your exam starts at 9:15 AM. The journey takes 30 minutes and you want to reach 40 minutes early. What is the latest time you should leave home? → 8:05 AM

  1. Minutes needed: journey 30 + early 40 = 70 minutes.
  2. Count back 70 minutes from 9:15 AM: 8:05 AM.
