It is advisable to use this time properly. If the examination centre is far from your residence, then make arrangements for accommodation nearby in advance.

Students living nearby should reach the centre by at least 1:45 pm. After the exam, do not get involved in the discussion of the paper unnecessarily, and in view of the heat, eat light food.

To keep the body agile throughout the day, it is important to keep yourself active from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Students may take power nap for 15-20 minutes in the break between the Paper 1 and Paper 2.
