Right time - Right place - Right equipment

Belinda Leckie —

Prepare for the NCEA exams by being prepared for our school practice exams.

Students should arrive at an exam at least 30 minutes before it begins.

Students should bring to each exam

  • a plastic bag with black and/ or blue pens, a ruler and highlighter pens.
    Pencils, coloured pencils, erasers and erasable pens may only be used in Music, Geography and some mathematical answers.  
  • a calculator for  Biology, Business Studies, Calculus, Chemistry, Economics, Geography, Maths, Physics, Science and Statistics. 
  • a fully charged laptop for digital examinations. Extension cords will be available if students need to bring power leads in with them.
  • a clear drinking bottle
  • an additional clear sealable plastic bag for use as an emergency evacuation pack.
    This pack goes under the chair and must not be touched or opened without the permission of a supervisor. Contents may include a mobile phone (switched off), a watch (audio switched off), keys, watch, money and medicines.

NB students may not wear watches in an examination room.
