Things to know before the exam

  • Download the map of your exam centre and visit your centre beforehand.
  • While the hall ticket states that phones aren't allowed, most centres don't mind if they are kept in a bag outside the exam hall. Just ensure that the phone is powered off or on silent mode. Most centres will have a place to keep the bag.
  • For public exam students, you will get 15 minutes to read the question paper. Use this time to understand the questions.
