Hi,

I hope it went well. I've just done both Level 2 papers today and Paper 1 wasn't so bad. How did you find it? x

Hi Elvira

They are the ones Bizzy posted. Unfortunatley there is only one example of each paper, and personally I don't think they give you a good indication, as I sat them for 'fun' just before I got my latest job, after 4 years out of practice, and got 80% ish on both before I had even studied L3

The questions I get set by college are much harder! Tho maybe they are just trying to prepare us!

There are past papers available on the rcvs website under examination information.

I was just about to post the same RCVS link Bizzy!

According to our tutor, past exam papers are not available, not even to the training providers

Is there anywhere I can look at past exam papers. I'm looking to start my training and interested in what the exams are like. Good luck in your exam

They are changing from NVQ to new format so chances are the format of the exams will change. Currently they are multiple choice

The core units cover much of the theory that is currently in the NVQ2 and NVQ3 courses, and most of the work will be assessed through computer based multiple choice question exams set by the RCVS. Students will sit these at Pearson Vue centres in the same way they do for the current MCQ exams.

Arrive in plenty of time! If your journey to the exam centre takes 20 mins leave 45 mins to get there. On my exam day I got stuck behind a broken down white van on a single lane country road and arrived with 1 and a half minutes to spare breathing like a steam train and dripping with sweat!!

Read the question twice then read each answer twice before deciding.

Pay no attention to what other people are doing. At the driving test centres a lot of people come and go while you are doing your exam. You take the time you want to take.

pay attention to detail - if given a calculation make sure you use the relevant unit of measurement after your answer ie mg, mcg, kg

Read the question! Sounds obvious but many people make mistakes by not reading it properly - go over it a couple of times if needed.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before. Go over last minute revision if needed but don't try and cram, rest and keep hydrated at this will help you think much better.

Good Luck

Keep well hydrated! Studies prove that a dehydrated brain is a sluggish brain!
