MEP EDAD Bachillerato exam-day guide
MEP EDAD Bachillerato · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (passport or national ID)
Bring the original document, not a photocopy. Confirm with the provider which IDs are accepted and whether a secondary document is required.
Exam admission confirmation / registration printout
Print or download the confirmation showing your name, exam session, date, time, and venue. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is mandatory.
Venue location and travel plan
Verify the exact address and room the day before. Plan arrival with spare time; confirm with the provider how early candidates should arrive.
Black or blue ballpoint pens (at least two)
Bring spares. Confirm with the provider whether answers must be in a specific ink colour or on a machine-readable sheet.
Pencils, eraser, and sharpener
Useful for rough work or for filling answer sheets. Confirm with the provider which writing instruments are permitted.
Clear water bottle with the label removed
Stay hydrated. Confirm with the provider whether drinks are allowed at the desk and what container is permitted.
Small, quiet snack for after the exam
Eat it outside the exam room only. Confirm with the provider whether any food is allowed during breaks.
Simple analogue watch
Useful for pacing. Confirm with the provider whether smart watches and phones must be switched off and stored away.
Phone switched off and stored out of reach
Follow venue instructions exactly. Confirm with the provider where devices must be left during the exam.
Any approved accommodations confirmed in advance
If you requested extra time, a separate room, or other support, confirm in writing with the provider before exam day.
Read the official exam instructions and scoring rules
Know the format, number of questions, time limit, and whether wrong answers are penalised. Confirm with the provider if any of this is unclear.
Rest, food, and a calm arrival routine
Sleep, eat a normal breakfast, and arrive early. These are general good practices, not provider-specific rules.
Plan the day
Review the official syllabus and instructions. Confirm the venue, start time, and what you are allowed to bring. Practise a timed section or two under exam conditions and stop heavy new study the evening before.
Pack your ID, confirmation, pens, and other permitted items in one bag. Check travel times and any transport disruptions. Set two alarms, sleep at a normal hour, and avoid last-minute cramming.
Eat a normal breakfast, dress comfortably, and leave with extra time. Recheck that your ID and confirmation are in your bag. Arrive at the venue and follow staff instructions; confirm with the provider how early you should be there.
Read all instructions first. Pace yourself against the time limit, answer the questions you know first, and return to harder ones. Write clearly, check that every answer is recorded correctly, and use any remaining time to review.
Rules to check
Bring valid official photo ID and your admission confirmation; confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and what happens if you forget them.
Arrive by the stated time. Confirm with the provider the latest arrival time and whether late candidates are admitted.
Phones and smart devices must be switched off and stored as instructed. Confirm with the provider where devices must be left and what counts as unauthorised material.
Follow all instructions from invigilators and do not communicate with other candidates during the exam. Confirm with the provider for the full list of prohibited items and behaviours.
Raise your hand if you need to leave the room; confirm with the provider the rules on toilet breaks and whether you can return to the exam.
Only use permitted materials. Confirm with the provider whether calculators, dictionaries, or formula sheets are allowed and which models.
Write answers in the required format and ink. Confirm with the provider whether wrong answers are penalised and how marks are awarded.
If you believe there is a problem with the exam conditions, tell an invigilator immediately and confirm with the provider how to raise a complaint afterwards.
