It depends on what circuit you get as to what it looks like.

With the bain, lack and ayres, you should have a green or blue apl valve, with a 'narrow to thick' kinda pattern on the top - turn towards the thick part, and then hold the valve up at eye level, and check it is open, whilst verbally telling the examiner what you are doing

If you get the mini lack, the apl valve it kina like a screw - turn it upwards, open it fully, so you can see the 'screw' part. Again hold the valve up at eye level, and check it is open, whilst verbally telling the examiner what you are doing

I hope that helps & good luck!
