Prohibited-items check
Leave mobile phones, smartwatches and unauthorised electronic devices at home or with a guardian. Carry only items explicitly permitted for the practical.
Read the centre notice board
On arrival, check the notice board for seating/lab allotment, reporting instructions and any last-minute changes. Ask staff if the instructions are unclear.
Plan the day
Confirm with your teacher the practical syllabus, station list, record-book requirement and what the centre will provide versus what you must bring. Write down the reporting time and centre address.
Practise only the skills covered in your school lab, such as safe tool handling, component identification, basic measurement or wiring tasks as taught. Do not attempt unfamiliar equipment or live circuits.
Complete and get your practical record/notebook checked and signed if required. Revise labelled diagrams, safety rules and likely viva points from your own notes.
Pack your bag: admit card, ID, photographs, stationery, permitted calculator, record book and any school-issued material. Keep documents in one clearly marked folder.
Recheck the centre route, transport and reporting time. Arrange to arrive early, and confirm who will accompany you if needed. Sleep on time; avoid late-night cramming.
Eat a normal meal, wear the prescribed dress code, and carry only permitted items. Leave phones and smart devices at home or with your guardian.
Reach the centre as instructed, complete verification, and read the notice board. Keep your admit card and ID accessible for checking.
Read the question/instruction sheet fully before starting. Check that your workstation, tools and equipment are in order; if anything is faulty or missing, call the invigilator/instructor immediately.
Plan your time across the practical tasks, write observations neatly, and follow every safety instruction. Do not exchange tools, materials or answers with other candidates.
For the viva, answer clearly and honestly; if you do not know, say so politely. Before leaving, submit your answer script/record as directed and confirm that your attendance has been recorded.
Rules to check
Carry the original admit card and the ID document required by your school/centre. Entry may be refused without them, so confirm accepted ID and photocopy rules with the provider in advance.
Do not carry mobile phones, smartwatches, programmable devices or unauthorised electronic items into the exam hall or lab. Follow the centre's deposit/collection instructions if such items are brought to the campus.
Follow all lab safety rules: do not touch live circuits, use tools only as instructed, report damaged equipment, and never improvise with unknown components or power sources.
Ask the invigilator or instructor for help if equipment is faulty, instructions are unclear, or you need to leave your seat. Do not exchange tools, materials or written work with other candidates.
Breaks, water and toilet visits are normally allowed only with permission and may follow a sign-out procedure. Confirm the centre's specific break policy on the day.
Keep your practical work original and do not communicate with other candidates during the test. Follow the seating and station allotment given by the centre.
Practical scoring may include task performance, record/notebook assessment and viva. Confirm the exact weighting and submission requirements with your school/provider rather than assuming.
