You have the most important about information: starting hour, duration, number of questions and the main outline of the whole exam. What to do that crucial day to pass an exam?

Organizational Points

First of all, the night before your exam you should have a good sleep. Your day of the exam should start with a substantial breakfast which will enable your brain to give 100% correct answers.

Do not come too early for the exam. You should have enough time to get accustomed with the place, but not become too tired of waiting. Let it be not more than an hour, 30 minutes is the most appropriate period.

When you are in the hall, you will still have some ten-fifteen minutes for preparation: use this time. You should find a clock, put all the necessary instruments and try to relax.

Passing the Exam

Before starting answering the questions read the instructions very carefully. As for the questions, first, answer the questions which ...
... are easier for you. Though, make sure you did not omit any question, for the absence of the answer is the wrong answer.

Read the questions thoroughly, sometimes the question contains a hint on the answer. You also need to read the questions carefully in order to find out what is really asked, because in many cases students gave the wrong answers because they did not understand the questions properly. Be very attentive.

With multiple choice questions, first, define definitely wrong answers and then search for the correct answer by process of elimination. You should pay more attention to questions with more points.

Do not waste your time on talks or frustration, focus on your paper.
