At the start of the exam spend time reading the paper before you pick up a pen.
Work out which questions you will do and the order you will do them in.
Plan your time and stick to this - you don’t want to overrun on a question and end up missing another.
Write down memorised facts or points on the first sheet in bullet points - you can cross these out as you go through.
Re-read each question before starting.
Move on if you get stuck.
If you’re running out of time do the first sections of questions, write bullet points and come to a conclusion.
Never leave an exam early - they are at a set length for a reason.
What examiners like to see - correct use of key words/phrases and in the correct format, focusing on the set question, discussing critically not descriptively, neat presentation.
