You can avoid any stress or delays on your exam day by bringing all of the correct forms and equipment.

Before you set off:

  • If you are a school student, wear your school uniform.
  • Aim to arrive 30 minutes before the start of the exam so that you can relax before it begins.
  • Allow plenty of time for traffic or travel disruption (and always have an alternative travel plan in mind).

Things to bring to the exam room:

  • personal identification 
  • Statement of Entry
  • pens and pencils in a CLEAR bag
  • basic calculator (of a type approved by your exam board)
  • any extra equipment needed for your subject.

Remember:

  • No mobile phones, or any other electronic devices, are allowed in exam rooms.
  • Don’t bring valuable belongings.

Please note that specific regulations, which may differ from the above, apply to practical, oral, IT and art/design exams.

You need to bring your ID and your Statement of Entry to all examinations.

What counts as acceptable ID?

Only the following are acceptable forms of ID:

  • Passport
  • Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC)

If you do not have these, please speak to your teacher or British Council representative well in advance of your exams.

What is a Statement of Entry?

A Statement of Entry is a document that confirms your exam registration. It will include a list of your chosen subjects and the exam dates for each module, as well as your name, date of birth and school.

If you are a school student, you should receive your Statement of Entry from your school before your exams. If you are a private candidate, you should receive your Statement of Entry through the post approximately three weeks before your exams.
