What to take with you for Technical Sciences P2

This is super important, listen here. You don’t want to get to the exam hall and realise you’ve forgotten something vital. For Technical Sciences P2, you’ll need specific items to help you answer the questions properly. Always check the official instructions, but generally, here’s a list to get you started:

• Your official exam admission letter or statement of entry – you cannot write without this!
• Your valid identity document (ID book or smart card).
• Two or three good quality black ballpoint pens. Make sure they are not gel pens or pencils for writing answers.
• A non-programmable scientific calculator. Make sure it’s in good working order and you know how to use it! Bring spare batteries or make sure it’s fully charged if it’s a rechargeable type.
• A pencil for drawing graphs or diagrams, if required.
• An eraser for any pencil marks.
• A ruler for drawing straight lines and diagrams.
• A protractor and a pair of compasses, just in case they’re needed for geometric constructions or angle measurements.
• Water in a transparent bottle (no labels, please!).
• A small, clear plastic bag for all your stationery – keeps things tidy and visible.

How to behave on exam day

Once you are in the exam venue, you must follow all the invigilator’s instructions. Keep quiet and focused. No talking, no peeking at other people’s papers – that’s a big no-no and can get you disqualified. Raise your hand if you have a question or need anything. Use your reading time wisely to go through the paper and plan your answers. Remember, stay calm even if a question seems tough. Breathe, think, and then tackle it. Your focus should be solely on your paper.

Reminding yourself of the date

Don’t just write the date down once and forget it. Put reminders on your phone, stick notes on your mirror, tell your family the date so they can remind you too. Make it a prominent part of your study plan. As Monday, November 10, 2025, approaches, these reminders will help keep you motivated and ensure you’re on track with your revision for Technical Sciences P2. Good luck, you’ve got this!
