Plan Your Sprint: Key Takeaways for Candidates
Beyond the dates, it’s crucial to understand the rules that will govern your exam experience. Here are the essential reminders from NECTA:
-
Be Early, Be Prepared: Arriving more than 30 minutes late for any paper will result in you being barred from the exam room. Plan your journey in advance.
-
Integrity is Everything: Leave all unauthorized materials behind. Any form of misconduct can lead to disqualification from all your exams.
-
Examination Number is Key: Write your exam number on every page of your answer booklet. Never write your name, as this can lead to result cancellation.
-
No Breaks for Holidays: Exams will proceed as scheduled, even on public holidays.
Your Action Plan
Now is the time to move from panic to plan. Use this timetable to create a realistic and effective study schedule. Identify your priority subjects, allocate time for revision and practice tests, and most importantly, remember to include short breaks to avoid burnout.
This timetable is not just a list of dates; it’s your roadmap. Use it wisely, prepare thoroughly, and walk into that examination hall ready to claim your success.
We wish all Form Four students the very best of luck! Your future awaits.
