[QUOTE="grantg, post: 2757047, member: 596319"] best wishes with your exams. You should ask for 'access arrangements' if not done so already, eg allowed some jellybabies something to drink or some other fast acting glucose beside you. You should also be allowed your monitoring equipment to check if low. If you monitor with mobile phone that maybe an issue should optimally apply for arrangements with the testing body couple of months in advance. Fingerprick test should be fine. If you feel going low, your entled to to have a break, which will be supervised that way treating a potential hypo shouldn't interfere with the time. Best piece of advice is to not panic, if a student is ill special considerations can be made. where alternative grading process can be done if fit within the critera. Regards study advice, bbc bitsize exam body (eg if you live in scotland would be the SQA) have a lot of past papers online with marking instructions which clearly shows how points are awarded. example of marking ie: maths even if you get the answer wrong you can be given points for working out :) If you see a question which you can't think of an answer fairly quickly, move onto the next question then go back and try finish any skipped questions, sometimes going back to questions later some info maybe can come back to you :) Good luck [/QUOTE]
