"My first exam is tomorrow! Phew! I just wanted to type this up for, well, for people who haven't done it yet. I guess this post is about the last step – GETTING TO THE EXAM! Which, if you're like me and my mates, it's easy to forget about but it's really important. Let me give you a few tips."

"Right! Exams next week, you all set?"

"Totally! Revision is DONE! Come Monday I'm going to stroll into the Sports Hall and 10 a.m. and I'm going to totally rrrrock."

"DAN! The exam is at 9 o'clock!"

"… and it's in the Assembly Hall."

"Eeep!"

"SO! Before every exam double check WHAT TIME it starts and WHERE it is! CHECK YOUR TIMETABLE!"

"Thought so. Now THAT's why I got you all here today. Do you know what you have to bring to the exam?"

"Duh!"

"Go on.."

"Umm… stuff…? Pens…? I've got them in my case here!"

"First up Zak your pencil case has to be CLEAR."

"…And you DON'T need every single pen you've ever bought, Leona."

"Come on… show us what you've got."

"Right! (she sweeps them away) All you really need is…"

"A pen. A SPARE pen. A pencil and a spare pencil, a pencil sharpener, an eraser, a ruler. For Maths a compass, a protractor and for the exams you are allowed one calculator. WITHOUT its case."

"It's really important to know if your exam needs anything specific – you can check with your teachers before. And finally I know there will be a clock in the exam but it's really useful to have something of your own you can keep an eye on the time with."

"THESE are your friends. Care for them and they will get you through the exams. Have you got that Dan?"

"Yes. Grace?"

"BEING PREPARED IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY, NOBODY ELSES! What is it?!"

"Got to say I was really getting into this."

"Ok, there are still a few things we've got to do. I've printed out a list."

"…and I've emailed it to you DARIA."

"ONE...! How are you getting to the exam?" "Double check your travel plans! TWO!"

"Night."

"Get a good night's sleep the night before!"

"Wow! That's a first!"

"THREE!"

"Double check your stuff and lay it out so you don't forget anything in the morning! FOUR!"

"Set your alarm! Give yourself enough time so you aren't rushing."

"That's really important. The point of all of this is to get to the exam as relaxed as possible with nothing else on your mind. And finally, the Day Of The Exam."

"OK. Get to the exam hall at least 15 minutes before it starts. The most important thing to do is to relax… take some deep breaths."

GRACE takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, visibly relaxing.

"Go to the toilet. Zak I'm talking about you here."

"Remember guys. We've done all we can and now is the time for us to show off how much we know."

"Right. Let’s get this done!"

"And you're IN!"
