Important notes for students taking the exams:
1. Do arrive 15-20 mins earlier than your scheduled time. This will ensure that there are no last minute panics.
2. Sometimes examiners might finish examining the previous student earlier so you might have to go in slightly earlier than your scheduled time.
3. Do check the exam venue correctly. Different buildings and streets might have similar names.
4. Remember to bring your exam pieces book for the practical exam

5. Bring Candidate slip, NRIC & jacket.
