📚 Exam Day Checklist: What to Prepare and Confirm Before You Enter the Hall | 考前给考生的清单：进考场前要准备和确认什么
Every year, thousands of candidates lose marks, time or even their whole grade not because they did not know the chemistry or the calculus, but because they forgot a candidate number, brought a forbidden watch, or arrived after the doors had closed. This checklist gathers the practical, frequently examined and frequently forgotten details for Cambridge International, Pearson Edexcel, Oxford AQA, IB and AP candidates, and organises them into a sequence you can actually work through.
每年都有成千上万的考生丢分、丢时间、甚至丢掉整个成绩，原因不是不会化学或微积分，而是忘了考生号、带了一块被禁止的手表，或者到场时考场门已经关了。这份清单汇集了剑桥国际、培生爱德思、牛津 AQA、IB 和 AP 考生最实用、也最容易被忽略的细节，并按你可以真正逐条执行的顺序整理出来。
1. Read the Official Rules First | 先读官方考试规则
Before you buy anything or pack anything, read the current regulations published by your awarding body and by your own exam centre. Rules on calculators, watches, dictionaries and leaving the room change from session to session, and the version on a forum post from three years ago may be wrong.
在你买任何东西、收拾任何东西之前，先读你所报考的考试局以及你所在考点发布的最新规定。关于计算器、手表、词典和提前离场的规定每个考季都可能调整，而论坛上三年前的版本很可能是错的。
Three documents matter most: the awarding body's "Notice to Candidates" or "Information for Candidates" booklet, the centre's own exam-day letter, and your statement of entry. If the three disagree, ask your exams officer in writing and keep the reply.
最重要的有三份文件：考试局的 "Notice to Candidates"（考生须知）或 "Information for Candidates" 手册、考点自己发的考试日通知，以及你的报考确认单（statement of entry）。如果三者有冲突，用书面方式询问你的考务老师，并保留回复。
Do this at least two weeks before your first paper, not the night before. Anything that needs centre approval, such as a bilingual dictionary or a modified paper, cannot be arranged overnight.
这件事至少要在第一场考试前两周完成，不要拖到考前一晚。任何需要考点审批的事项，比如双语词典或修改版试卷，都不是一夜之间能安排好的。
2. Confirm Your Entry and Candidate Details | 确认报名与考生信息
Check your statement of entry line by line: your full name as it will appear on the certificate, your date of birth, the subject, the syllabus or specification code, the paper numbers, the tier (Foundation or Higher for some IGCSE subjects), and the exam dates and sessions.
逐行核对你的报考确认单：证书上显示的完整姓名、出生日期、科目、教学大纲或规范代码、试卷编号、层级（部分 IGCSE 科目分 Foundation 和 Higher），以及考试日期和场次。
Memorise, or write down, four numbers: centre number, candidate number, desk number and the paper code. These appear on every answer booklet you fill in, and writing them wrongly can delay or jeopardise your result.
请背下或写下四个号码：考点号、考生号、座位号和试卷代码。它们会出现在你填写的每一本答题册上，写错可能导致成绩延迟甚至出问题。
Also confirm the practical details that are easy to miss:
同时确认那些容易被漏掉的实务细节：
- Which room or hall you are in, and whether your centre uses different buildings for different papers.
- Whether you have a morning and an afternoon paper on the same day, and how the supervised break works.
- Whether you have an exam clash with another subject, which the centre must resolve for you.
- 你的考场具体在哪栋楼、哪个教室，不同试卷是否在不同地点。
- 同一天是否有上午场和下午场，中间的监督休息如何安排。
- 是否有与另一科目的考试时间冲突，这必须由考点为你解决。
3. Documents, ID and What to Carry | 证件、身份证明与随身物品
Most centres require a photo ID and your statement of entry or admission card. International candidates often need a passport or a national ID card; some centres accept a school ID with a photograph. Confirm which one your centre accepts, because turning up with the wrong document can mean being seated as an "unidentified candidate" while the problem is investigated.
多数考点要求携带带照片的身份证明，以及报考确认单或准考证。国际考生通常需要护照或国民身份证，有些考点接受带照片的学生证。请确认你的考点接受哪一种，因为带错证件可能意味着你被当作 "身份不明考生" 应试，同时问题需要另行调查。
Pack the night before and place everything in one bag next to the door:
考前一晚就收拾好，把所有东西放在门口的一个包里：
- Photo ID (passport, national ID or accepted school ID).
- Statement of entry or admission card.
- Centre letter with room number, seat number and start times.
- A printed timetable of all your papers for the whole session.
- 带照片的身份证件（护照、身份证或考点接受的学生证）。
- 报考确认单或准考证。
- 写有考场号、座位号和开考时间的考点通知。
- 整个考季所有科目的打印版时间表。
4. Stationery and Equipment | 文具与设备
Bring more than you think you need, because you cannot borrow from a neighbour once the paper has started. Pens run out, pencils snap, and rulers get knocked off desks. A spare of everything costs almost nothing.
带的文具要比你以为需要的更多，因为开考后你不能向邻座借。笔会写完，铅笔会断，尺子会被碰掉。每样多备一份几乎不花什么钱。
| Item | 物品 | Why it matters | 重要性 |
| Two or three black ballpoint pens (plus one blue if your centre permits) | 两三支黑色圆珠笔（若考点允许，再备一支蓝色） | Black ink scans clearly for online marking; blue is often allowed but check. | 黑色墨水扫描清晰，便于网上阅卷；蓝色通常允许，但需确认。 |
| Two HB or 2B pencils and a soft eraser | 两支 HB 或 2B 铅笔和一块软橡皮 | Required for multiple-choice answer sheets and graphs. | 选择题答题卡和作图必需。 |
| Ruler, protractor, compasses, sharpener | 直尺、量角器、圆规、卷笔刀 | Mathematics and sciences only; check whether they are permitted on the paper. | 仅数学和科学需要；确认该试卷是否允许使用。 |
| Clear pencil case or transparent bag | 透明笔袋或透明袋 | Opaque cases are frequently banned at the desk. | 不透明笔袋常被禁止放在桌面上。 |
| Clear bottle of water with the label removed | 去掉标签的透明水瓶 | Labels may contain notes; bottles usually go on the floor. | 标签上可能藏笔记；水瓶通常要放在地上。 |
Leave the phone at home if you can, or hand it in at the start of every paper. This one rule catches more candidates than any other.
能不带手机就不带，或者每场考试开考前主动上交。这是最容易让考生出事的一条规则。
5. Calculator Rules | 计算器规则
Calculator rules differ by board and by paper, so treat this section as a prompt to check, not as a substitute for the regulations. The general principle across Cambridge International, Edexcel and Oxford AQA is that calculators must not be capable of symbolic algebra manipulation, symbolic differentiation or symbolic integration, and must not have a QWERTY keyboard or a graphic display able to connect to the internet.
计算器规定因考试局和试卷而异，所以请把本节当作提醒你去查规定的提示，而不是规定的替代品。剑桥国际、爱德思和牛津 AQA 的总体原则是：计算器不得具备符号代数运算、符号微分或符号积分功能，不得有 QWERTY 键盘，也不得有可联网的图形显示屏。
Commonly banned features | 通常被禁的功能：
- CAS (computer algebra system) modes and symbolic solvers.
- Graphing calculators with programmable storage or wireless connectivity, unless the paper specifically permits them.
- Calculator cases, instruction cards and covers on the desk.
- Data stored in calculator memory, including notes and formulas.
- CAS（计算机代数系统）模式和符号求解功能。
- 可编程存储或无线联网的图形计算器，除非该试卷明确允许。
- 计算器外壳、说明书卡片和盖子放在桌上。
- 计算器内存中存储的资料，包括笔记和公式。
Before the exam, reset the memory or clear stored data, replace the batteries, and practise with the exact calculator you will use. A calculator you have never used under time pressure is worse than no calculator.
考前重置内存或清除存储数据，更换电池，并用你考试当天要用的那台计算器练习。在时间压力下用一台你从没用过的计算器，比没有计算器更糟。
6. Banned Items and Malpractice Risks | 违禁物品与违纪风险
Malpractice rules are strict and applied without sympathy. Possession of a mobile phone, smartwatch or any other electronic device during an examination is treated as malpractice even if the device is switched off and inside your bag. Many centres also ban all wristwatches because of smartwatch confusion, so check whether a plain analogue watch is still allowed.
违规作弊的规定非常严格，且不留情面。在考试期间持有手机、智能手表或任何其他电子设备，即使设备关机并放在包里，也会被按违纪处理。许多考点因为难以分辨智能手表，已经禁止所有腕表，所以请确认普通的指针式手表是否仍然允许。
Also keep these off your person and out of your desk:
同时，以下物品也不得随身携带或放在桌上：
- Notes, revision cards, textbooks or any printed material.
- Bilingual dictionaries, unless the centre has approved one in advance and the subject permits it.
- Earphones, earbuds, smart glasses and fitness trackers.
- Food, unless you have documented medical approval.
- 笔记、复习卡片、课本或任何印刷材料。
- 双语词典，除非考点事先批准且该科目允许使用。
- 耳机、入耳式耳塞、智能眼镜和运动手环。
- 食物，除非你有经批准并备案的医疗需求。
Never communicate with another candidate once you are inside the hall, not even to ask for a pen. Raise your hand and wait for an invigilator.
进入考场后，绝不要与其他考生交流，哪怕只是借一支笔。请举手等待监考人员。
7. The Night Before and Morning Logistics | 考前一晚与当天流程
The night before is not the time for a new topic. It is the time for logistics, a light review of summary notes, and sleep. Sleep is the single highest-return revision activity available to you in the final twenty-four hours.
考前一晚不是学新内容的时候，而是处理事务、轻量复习总结笔记和睡觉的时候。在最后二十四小时里，睡眠是回报率最高的复习活动。
A workable evening plan | 可行的晚上安排：
- Check the start time and the recommended arrival time, then work backwards to your alarm.
- Check the route and the transport timetable, including any planned engineering works or road closures.
- Pack the bag completely and put it by the door with your ID on top.
- Review summary sheets or formula lists for 30 to 45 minutes only, then stop.
- Set two alarms and charge your phone, or better, ask someone to wake you.
- 确认开考时间和建议到场时间，然后倒推你的闹钟时间。
- 确认路线和交通时刻表，包括是否有计划中的工程或封路。
- 把所有东西收拾进包，放在门口，证件放在最上面。
- 只花 30 到 45 分钟看总结表或公式表，然后停止。
- 设两个闹钟并给手机充电，或者更好，请人叫你起床。
Aim to arrive 30 to 45 minutes early. Traffic, broken-down trains and forgotten folders are common; leaving home with no buffer turns a small delay into a missed paper.
争取提前 30 到 45 分钟到达。堵车、列车故障、忘带文件夹都很常见；出门时没有缓冲时间，一点小延误就会变成错过考试。
8. Access Arrangements and Special Consideration | 特殊考试安排与特殊考虑
If you have approved access arrangements, such as 25 percent extra time, a separate room, a reader, a scribe, a word processor or rest breaks, confirm in advance where you will sit and who will supervise you. These arrangements are approved in advance and cannot be created on the day.
如果你有已获批准的特殊考试安排，比如加时 25%、单独考场、读题员、代笔员、文字处理设备或休息时间，请提前确认你将在哪里应考、由谁监考。这些安排必须事先获批，当天无法临时安排。
Useful formulas to remember | 值得记住的公式：
Extra time = paper duration × 0.25 (for a 25% arrangement)
Total time = 90 min × 1.25 = 112.5 min ≈ 1 h 52 min
If you are ill, injured, bereaved or affected by something serious in the days before or during the exams, tell your exams officer immediately. Centres can apply for special consideration, but only if they know, and only if the evidence is collected at the time.
如果你在考前或考试期间生病、受伤、遭遇丧亲或其他严重影响，请立刻告诉你的考务老师。考点可以为你申请特殊考虑，但前提是他们知情，而且是当时就收集了证据。
If you feel unwell during a paper, raise your hand before you continue. Stopping early and reporting is usually better than struggling silently and reporting afterwards.
如果考试中感到不适，请在继续答题前举手。提前停下并报告，通常比硬撐到底、事后才报告更有利。
9. In the Exam Room: The First Fifteen Minutes | 进入考场后的前十五分钟
The first fifteen minutes decide how calm the next two hours will be. Use them procedurally, not academically. Do the mechanical tasks first so that your working memory is free for the questions.
前十五分钟决定接下来两小时你有多冷静。把这些时间用在流程上，而不是学术上。先完成机械性任务，让你的工作记忆为题目腾出空间。
A fixed routine | 固定流程：
- Sit at the correct desk and check the desk number against your card.
- Put your ID on the desk where the invigilator can see it.
- Switch off your phone, hand it in if required, and take off any watch.
- Fill in the front of every answer booklet: centre number, candidate number, name, subject and paper code.
- Wait for the instruction to begin, then read the rubric and the number of questions to answer.
- 坐到正确的座位上，核对座位号与你的卡片是否一致。
- 把证件放在桌上，让监考人员能看到。
- 关掉手机，按要求上交，并摘下手表。
- 填写每一本答题册的封面：考点号、考生号、姓名、科目和试卷代码。
- 等待开考指令，然后读答题说明和需要作答的题数。
One quiet technical point: if the paper allows it, spend two minutes scanning the whole paper before writing. Knowing where the easy marks sit changes the order in which you should attempt the questions.
一个安静的技术要点：如果试卷允许，先用两分钟通览全卷再动笔。知道容易得分的题在哪里，会改变你答题的先后顺序。
10. Time Management and Answering Strategy | 时间分配与答题策略
Time pressure is a design feature of these papers, not an accident. The standard planning rule of thumb is one mark per minute, plus a few minutes at the end for checking. A 75-mark paper therefore deserves roughly 75 minutes of writing time inside a 90-minute slot.
时间压力是这类试卷的设计特征，不是意外。标准的规划经验法则是每分钟一分的题量，最后再留几分钟检查。因此一份 75 分的试卷，在 90 分钟的考试时段里大约应有 75 分钟的书写时间。
Writing time ≈ total marks × 1 min per mark
Check time = total paper time − writing time
Practical habits that protect marks | 能保住分数的实用习惯：
- Write the question number clearly in the margin before each answer.
- Show working in calculation questions; method marks survive an arithmetic slip.
- Give units and correct significant figures, and round only at the end.
- Answer the question actually asked, using the command word: state, describe, explain, calculate, deduce, suggest, evaluate.
- If you run out of space, ask for an extra booklet and reference it clearly.
- Never leave a multiple-choice question blank, and never leave a structured question entirely empty.
- 每题作答前在页边清楚写出题号。
- 计算题要写出过程；算错但方法正确仍能拿方法分。
- 写单位和正确的有效数字，只在最后一步取整。
- 按指令词作答：陈述、描述、解释、计算、推导、建议、评价。
- 空间不够就索要附加答题册，并清楚注明衔接位置。
- 选择题绝不空着，结构题也绝不整题留白。
11. Handling Panic and Difficult Questions | 应对紧张与难题
A blank mind in the first minute of a hard question is normal physiology, not a sign that you will fail. Adrenaline narrows attention; the trick is to use a physical routine to bring the blood back to your reasoning brain.
难题出现的第一分钟大脑一片空白，是正常的生理反应，不是你要考砸的信号。肾上腺素会收窄注意力，诀窍是用一个身体上的例行动作把血液带回负责推理的大脑。
A four-step recovery routine | 四步复位法：
- Breathe in for four counts, hold for four, out for four, hold for four. Repeat three times.
- Write down anything you do know: the relevant formula, the definition, the given data.
- Mark the question, move on, and bank the easier marks first.
- Return with five minutes left and attempt the first step only. Partial credit is real credit.
- 吸气四拍，屏息四拍，呼气四拍，再屏息四拍。重复三次。
- 写下任何你确实记得的东西：相关公式、定义、已知数据。
- 标记该题，先跳过，把容易的分数先拿到手。
- 最后剩五分钟时回来，只做第一步。部分分也是分。
Watch the clock at fixed checkpoints rather than continuously. Checking every thirty seconds costs more time than it saves.
在固定的时间点看表，而不是一直盯着表。每三十秒看一次表，浪费的时间比省下的多。
12. After the Paper and Final Checklist | 考后注意事项与最终核对清单
When the invigilator says stop, stop writing immediately. Put your pen down, close your booklet, and wait to be dismissed. Continuing to write after the instruction is malpractice and can cost you the paper.
监考人员说停时，立刻停笔。放下笔，合上答题册，等待被允许离场。指令后继续书写属于违纪，可能让你失去这份试卷的成绩。
Once outside, resist the urge to compare answers in detail or post about the paper online. Discussions of live exam content can be investigated as malpractice, and comparing answers only damages your mood before the next paper.
走出考场后，不要详细对答案，也不要在网上发布试题内容。讨论正在进行的考试内容可能被调查为违纪，而对答案只会破坏你下一场考试前的心态。
Final checklist | 最终核对清单：
| Check | 核对项 | Done | 已完成 |
| Statement of entry and photo ID packed | 报考确认单和带照片证件已收拾 | ☐ |
| Centre number, candidate number, desk number written down | 考点号、考生号、座位号已写下 | ☐ |
| Timetable and room confirmed for today | 今日时间表与考场已确认 | ☐ |
| At least three pens, two pencils, eraser, ruler | 至少三支笔、两支铅笔、橡皮、直尺 | ☐ |
| Calculator cleared, batteries replaced, permitted model | 计算器已清空、电池已换、型号合规 | ☐ |
| Phone switched off and handed in, watch removed | 手机关机并已上交，手表已摘下 | ☐ |
| Access arrangements location confirmed, if applicable | 如适用，特殊安排地点已确认 | ☐ |
| Arrival time with 30 to 45 minutes of buffer | 到场时间留有 30 至 45 分钟缓冲 | ☐ |
Preparation is boring, and that is exactly why it works. The candidates who walk in calm are rarely the cleverest ones; they are the ones who checked the list twice and slept properly.
准备是件枯燥的事，而这正是它有效的原因。那些从容走进考场的考生，往往不是最聪明的，而是把清单核对了两次、并且睡够了觉的人。
