Materials

Make sure you have all the materials you need with you for your exam. 

• Have two pieces of paper, one for your notes and one for your writing task. 

• You need lots of space to write your notes and ideas clearly. 

• Write your name at the top of your exam paper. 

• Have a pen that works or a pencil and rubber.

• Switch off your mobile phone if you have one. 

• Wear a watch so you can keep track of the time or ask a teacher if there is going to be a clock in the room.

• In a public exam like IELTS or a Cambridge exam, make sure you have your ID card with you. 

• Can you use a dictionary? Check with your teacher and if you are allowed, make sure you have a dictionary with you.
