It’s amazing the amount of people who turn up to  maths exam without a calculator, or any exam without a pen. Or maybe one pen, one colour that they’ve been using all year long or just found in the hall outside. Don’t be one of those people – have everything prepared and have backups of everything.

- Calculator (ideally a reserve calculator too)
- Pencil
- Sharpener (and a holder to hold all the sharpening stuff)
- Eraser (ok then, call it a rubber!)
- Pens (as many as possible – in as many different colours as psosible)
- Pen grip to stop your fingers sweating
- Ruler (a proper one, not one that you got out of a packet of cereal)
- Bottle of water
- Packet of sweets (or something like that in case you need energy)
- Watch
- Clock (to have sitting beside you on the table)
If you can think of anything else, drop us a comment below and i’ll add it to the list! It goes without saying that you physically need to take your body and your brain in to the exam hall too 😉
