A few examples of Malpractice....
Malpractice can result in you getting a mark of 0 for all of your GCSEs with that exam board - not just the one you are currently sitting.
19.1 Candidates are under formal examination conditions from the moment they enter the room in which they will be taking their examination(s) until the point at which they are permitted to leave.Candidates must not talk to, attempt to communicate with or disturb other candidates once they have entered the examination room.
Just remember….
Results
You will not receive your results in your lessons.
You will receive your results in an envelope shortly after the mock exam period.
Please do not ask your teachers for your results.
And finally...
A little stress is good…- It motivates you- It helps you take it seriously
A lot of stress is bad.- It can affect you physically and mentally
Exercise Sleep Talk to people that support you
Sleep and exercise improve results more than revision does.
I hope your results reflect your efforts and hard work!
