Pre–exam day checklist (on-campus exams)

The night before your exam

1

Check your exam timetable; check the format, date, time, venue and your seat number. Read over how your exam will run.

2

Ensure you know what to bring and are set up for your specific exam format. If you are sitting an on-campus digital exam, make sure you have completed your laptop preparation.

3

You will also need to ensure you remember your University logins, as you will need to log in to the LMS and won’t be able to use a password manager.

4

Plan how you will get to your exam venue; allow enough time to arrive early. Use PTV journey planner if travelling via public transport.

5

Limit your revision; last-minute cramming is generally ineffective. If you’d like to reassure yourself of your knowledge, try looking over lecture notes, essay plans or reviewing memory aids you may have developed.

6

Pack your bag; only bring permitted items and other essential items and remember to take your student card, phone and pen.

7

Prioritise self-care; rest and eat a healthy meal before your exam. If you are feeling worried, try these strategies to manage exam anxiety.
