Armenia Mathematics Unified Exam exam-day guide
Armenia Mathematics Unified Exam · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Photo ID (passport or national ID)
Bring the original document, not a copy. Confirm with the provider which forms of ID are accepted and whether the name must match your registration exactly.
Admission confirmation / registration slip
Print or save the confirmation you received at registration. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is required or a digital version is acceptable.
Black or blue ballpoint pens (2-3)
Bring spares in case one runs out. Confirm with the provider whether answers must be written in a specific ink colour.
Pencil, eraser, and sharpener
Useful for rough work and for any answer sheet that requires pencil shading. Confirm with the provider which writing tools are permitted.
Simple scientific calculator (if permitted)
Confirm with the provider whether calculators are allowed, which models are permitted, and whether graphing or programmable calculators are banned.
Geometric tools: ruler, compass, protractor
Bring these for geometry questions. Confirm with the provider whether any of these are prohibited.
Clear water bottle and a light snack
Stay hydrated and keep energy steady. Confirm with the provider whether food and drink are allowed at your desk.
Analog watch (no smart features)
Helps you pace yourself if the room clock is hard to see. Confirm with the provider whether watches are permitted.
Know your test centre location and route
Do a practice run or check the route and travel time in advance. Arrive with buffer time; confirm the required arrival time with the provider.
Set a backup alarm
Use two alarms or ask someone to wake you, so a single failure does not cost you the exam.
Leave prohibited items at home
Phones, smart devices, and notes are typically not allowed in the exam room. Confirm with the provider the exact list of banned items and where to store bags.
Read the official instructions for your session
Rules on timing, sections, and permitted materials can change. Confirm all specifics with the provider before exam day.
Plan the day
Finish content review and switch to practice: do one full timed mock under exam conditions, then review every error and note the topic it came from.
Make a short list of your 5-10 weakest topics and spend remaining study time only on those and on formula recall.
Re-read the official instructions: arrival time, ID requirements, permitted tools, section structure, and scoring. Confirm anything unclear with the provider.
Pack your bag with ID, confirmation, pens, pencils, calculator, and geometry tools. Check the test centre route and travel time.
Do light review only: formulas, common question types, and your error list. No new topics and no full mock exams.
Prepare clothes and breakfast, set two alarms, and go to bed at a normal time. Avoid heavy screens and caffeine late in the evening.
Eat a normal breakfast, re-check your bag against the checklist, and leave early enough to arrive with buffer time.
Avoid last-minute cramming of new material; a brief skim of formulas is enough. Stay calm and keep to your routine.
Read the instructions and scoring rules on the paper carefully before starting, and note the total time and number of questions.
Do a first pass answering the questions you know, mark hard ones, and return to them. Do not let one question consume disproportionate time.
Show working for multi-step problems so partial credit is possible where the marking scheme allows it. Check units and that answers are in the requested form.
Reserve the final minutes to transfer or check answers, confirm no question is blank, and verify your name and ID details on the answer sheet.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID required by the provider; without acceptable ID you may be refused entry. Confirm the accepted documents with the provider in advance.
Arrive at the test centre by the stated time. Candidates arriving late may not be admitted; confirm the late-arrival policy with the provider.
Phones and smart devices must be switched off and stored as instructed. Confirm with the provider where bags and devices must be left.
Use only permitted materials. Confirm with the provider whether calculators, formula sheets, or geometric tools are allowed and which models are banned.
Follow invigilator instructions at all times. Any communication with other candidates or looking at others' work may be treated as misconduct.
Breaks are usually limited and supervised; confirm with the provider whether you may leave the room during the exam and how toilet breaks are handled.
Scoring and grading rules, including whether there is negative marking or partial credit, are set by the provider. Confirm the marking scheme before the exam so you can decide whether to guess.
If you believe there is an error in the paper or a problem in the room, raise it with the invigilator immediately rather than after the exam.
