Last minute preparation and information

[CYLoh]

Hi fellow candidates!

It is the time of the year where we scramble to prepare ourselves for the exam! Here's a list of things for last minute and exam preparation I think we'll find it useful:

• Bring a pencil (2), GARP mentioned they will provide 2 pencils for you, but it doesn't hurt to be safe to bring one of your own!
• Leave your watches, cufflinks & mobile phones in your car or at home
• Only bring GARP approved calculator, specifically:
  • Texas Instruments BA II Plus (both versions), including the BA II Plus Professional
  • Hewlett Packard 10B II,10B II+,20B
  • Hewlett Packard 12C (including the HP 12C Platinum and the Anniversary Edition)
• Don't be late, I've seen candidates being locked out from the exam room, the proctors closes the doors at exactly 7:45AM and 1:45PM.
• Bring your favorite candy/lozenges (works for me, they give me the boost!)
• for those with sensitive nose, bring a packet of tissue
• Don't forget your admission ticket, it must be in hardcopy/printed
• Don't forget your ID card / passport that you used to register the Exam with
• Personally I would arrive 2 hours before exam time to do some last minute memorisation for the exam!
• This will be useful for Part II candidates: formula sheet

Finally, good luck to all those who are participating in the exam!!!

Regards

P.s. Attached some practice exams from GARP.
