GCSE EXAM checklist
Finishing touches: Exam checklist
- Is all of your work completed? All coursework and exam preparation should be finished, presented and annotated by the time you start your exam.
- Do you know exactly what you are doing in the exam? You should have planned and practiced your final piece so that you have something to refer to in the exam.
- Have you prepared everything that you will need on the day? You should have drawn out your final piece, print out photographs that you will need to work from, organised any materials you will need, make sure you have your own paint brushes etc.
- Have you responded to all of your feedback? Your teachers will have given you feedback and checklists of things to do or things to improve to help your grade. Make sure you have done this before the exam!
- Ask questions before the exam. Is there anything you aren’t sure about? Anything you need last minute help with? Make sure you attend intervention for this extra support.
