How to prepare the papers prior to a practical examination

Once you have received the password to extract the files, we suggest that you do the following:

  • Customise the question paper by removing the reference to Study Opportunities on the title page, and add your own school’s name and logo at the top.
  • Read through the paper and make any minor adjustments that you deem necessary. We suggest that you keep these changes to a minimum, as they might affect the balance of the paper in terms of the weightings of the degrees of difficulty, as well as the mark allocations.
  • Check that ALL the data files open correctly on your school’s computers. Do NOT leave this to the last minute!
