Bac G2 Niger exam-day guide
Bac G2 Niger · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Convocation and exam schedule
Bring the convocation notice showing your exam centre, date, and session times. If you have not received one, confirm the exact venue and reporting time with your school or the examination centre (confirm with the provider).
National identity card or valid photo ID
Bring the original piece of identification accepted for Baccalauréat candidates (typically a national ID card or passport). Check with your school which documents are accepted and whether a photocopy is sufficient; do not assume.
Several black or blue ballpoint pens
Bring at least two or three working pens plus a spare refill. Answers written in pencil or erasable ink may not be accepted; confirm any ink-colour requirement with the centre.
Pencils, sharpener, and eraser
Useful for rough work and for any diagrams. Keep them in a clear pouch so they are easy to show at the door.
Geometry and drawing instruments
Ruler, set square, protractor, and compass for mathematics and technical drawing papers. Verify the list of authorised instruments for your series.
Non-programmable calculator (if permitted for your series)
Programmable or graphing calculators are commonly restricted. Confirm the exact model rules for your series with the provider before the exam; do not bring a device you have not cleared.
Watch (non-smart)
A simple analogue or digital watch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is hard to see. Smartwatches and connected devices are normally prohibited.
Water and a light snack
Bring a small bottle of water and something to eat between papers. Check whether food and drink are allowed inside the exam room.
Leave phones and connected devices at home or switched off and stored
Any phone, earpiece, or connected watch brought into the room can be treated as cheating. Confirm the centre's storage arrangements.
Know your route and travel time
Do a trial trip to the centre beforehand, note transport options, and plan to arrive well before the reporting time to allow for security checks.
Read the instructions on the paper first
Before writing, check the number of pages, the choice of exercises, and the time allowed. Report any missing or illegible page to the invigilator immediately.
Plan the day
Stop learning new material. Review your summary sheets, formula lists, and past mistakes. Re-read the exam format for each subject: number of papers, duration, and whether you must choose between exercises. Prepare your documents and equipment and pack them in one bag.
Confirm the venue, reporting time, and transport plan. Lay out your ID, convocation, pens, instruments, and calculator. Eat a normal meal, avoid all-night revision, and sleep at your usual time. Set two alarms.
Eat a proper breakfast, take your packed bag, and leave with a margin so you arrive early. At the centre, find your room, listen to the invigilator's instructions, and switch off your phone before entering.
Fill in your candidate details carefully, check the page count, and read the whole paper before starting. Decide which exercises you will answer and allocate time per section, keeping ten minutes at the end to review.
Answer the easiest questions first to secure marks, show your working, and write legibly. If you get stuck, move on and return later. Watch the clock and leave time to check that every required question has been attempted.
Stop writing when told, check that your name and candidate number are on every sheet, and hand in all materials as instructed. Do not discuss the paper with others until you have left the centre.
Rules to check
Bring the original identification document required for your centre and keep it on your desk if instructed. Confirm the accepted documents with your school or the examination authority.
Arrive before the reporting time. Candidates arriving late may be refused entry; the exact cut-off is set by the centre, so confirm it with the provider.
Phones, smartwatches, earpieces, and any connected device must be switched off and kept out of the exam room. Possession in the room can lead to disqualification.
Do not communicate with other candidates, exchange materials, or look at another candidate's paper. Raise your hand and wait for the invigilator if you need help.
Only authorised documents and instruments may be on your desk. Bags and notes go where the invigilator directs.
Breaks and toilet visits are at the discretion of the invigilator and may be accompanied. Ask before the paper starts if you think you will need one.
Marks are awarded for correct working and clear presentation, not only for the final answer. Write in the language of the paper and follow the instructions on the front page.
Any suspected irregularity is reported and may lead to cancellation of the paper or the session. If you believe an error has occurred, raise it calmly with the invigilator at the time.
