What you should bring

Before your first examination, please bring Photo ID so that our Reception staff can verify your identity and issue you with a visitors' badge. 

Writing equipment (pens, pencils, ruler).  You must use black biro/ink. Please note that these should be in a clear pencil case or bag.

If appropriate, mathematical instruments such as compasses and a protractor. 

A compliant calculator (if allowed).  Please check with your exam board to find the rules you must follow.

Ideally, please do not bring  watches or mobile phones to the exam.  If you do they must be switched off and handed to an invigilator. This is an exam board requirement and your paper may score no marks if you do not adhere to this. Clocks are clearly displayed in the exam halls.

If you wish to bring a water bottle, this should also be clear with no markings or labels.

As a centre, we do not allow food in the exam rooms. If you need to bring something in for medical reasons, please discuss this with us as soon as possible. 

Your candidate number and our centre number will be written on a card on your desk, so please do not worry about bringing these on the day. 

There will be an area at the back of the exam hall where you are able to leave coats, bags and other personal belongings.
