On exam day, small problems can cost you more than any forgotten fact. This checklist helps you avoid them.

The night before

• Read the instructions on your admit card again.
• Keep documents, pens and anything allowed in one bag.
• Check the centre address and how long it takes to reach.
• Revise only recaps and formula sheets. No new topics.
• Sleep early.

Documents

• Admit card, printed as instructed.
• A valid photo ID if required.
• Passport-size photos if required.

Always follow the official instructions for your exam; they differ between boards, NEET, JEE and CUET.

The morning

• Eat a light, familiar breakfast.
• Leave early enough to reach well before the reporting time.
• Follow the dress code if one is given.

At the centre

• Do not carry banned items.
• Find your room and seat early.

During the paper

• Read instructions carefully.
• Attempt questions you are sure of first.
• In exams with negative marking, avoid blind guesses.
• Keep an eye on time.

Between papers

For boards with gaps between papers, revise only from recaps, diagrams and formula sheets, and keep a normal sleep routine.

The short version

Prepare your bag and documents the night before, sleep early, reach the centre early, follow the official instructions, and attempt sure questions first.
