  • Face Mask & Sanitizer

The prevailing situation in the whole world has forced us to wear a face mask and carry a bottle of sanitizer everywhere. Thus, we recommend you to wear a face mask (preferably N15) of good quality and a carry a pet-bottle of sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol) in every exam.

  • Stationery items

Stationery items are very important to carry on the day of your exam. Stationery items include pens, pencils, sharpener, eraser, ruler and a pencil box or kit. One should take 3-4 good pens with them and use the pen which is most comfortable in writing and works more smoothly because, after the content of your answer, it’s the handwriting that can help you fetch good marks. Other than the pens, take a sharpener, two already sharpened pencils eraser, ruler and other important geometrical stuff. 

  • Admit Card/ID Card 

Admit cards are the most important exam essential that one should not forget. Your exam day should never be the day to forget your admit card. Even if you forget it by mistake, you must carry your school or college ID card with you. The ID card may help you to sit for the exam. No one will allow you to sit for the exam if you carry neither of them. So carry both the things that are, admit card and your ID card to be on a safer side.

  • Watch

In the present era, everyone is dependent on mobile phones and no one bothers about to carry a watch. But, during exams, you are not allowed to carry any electronic gadget inside the school premises. So, a wristwatch is ‘must to carry’ for the exams and it is the most important exam essential. You don’t have to rely on the teacher who’s conducting the exam to tell you the time after every 10 or 15 minutes. So carry your own watch which will help you manage the time accordingly and help you finish your exam on time.

  • Water Bottle

Why waste your exam time in running all the way to the water cooler outside to calm your thirst? Always carry your own water bottle with you. It’s a very useful and important exam essential to carry. 

  • Cardboard

You never know on which bench you’ll be sitting on. Imagine how you will be able to do your exam quickly if by chance you have to sit on broken or damaged furniture. Imagine sitting in a class or hall where furniture is not at all reliable. So, it’s always good to carry your cardboard with you on the exam day. 

  • Calculator

Always carry a calculator for the exams in which you are allowed to carry it. There are two benefits to it. First, you’ll save a lot of time that you’ll be wasting in case you do the long calculations manually. Second, you don’t have to wait for your turn to get the calculator from the teacher where there’s only one calculator available for the whole class. So, always carry a calculator when it is allowed. 

  • Spectacles

Don’t ever forget to carry your spectacles with you if you have weak eyesight. It would be extremely difficult and frustrating for you to write your exam with blurry vision. 

  • You and your confidence!

Yeah! It’s the most important thing to carry with you. Confidence is the belief and feeling that one can have faith in or rely on something. It’s always better to reach the examination centre well before the time because you never know when you’ll be stuck in traffic. Be prepared well for your exam. Even if you’re not well prepared, just write whatever you know about the topic. Nervousness will only worsen up things. Always be confident. Start with a smile on your face, gather all your strength and start writing. It’s the most important exam essential that no one mentions or writes but will help you a lot.
