Your guide to getting exam-ready, developing your time-management skills, and refining your exam technique.

Practising for success

You’re now in the Practise stage: the part of your journey focused on becoming truly exam ready. By this point, you’ll already have experienced question practice while building your BA1 knowledge. Now, the focus shifts to refining your exam technique, managing your time effectively, and applying what you know with confidence.

Below, you’ll find a short video on BA1 exam technique, covering how to manage the two-hour exam window, prioritise and triage questions, and make the most of the on-screen tools available.

You’ll also find links to mock exams, exam-skills resources, and official question practice to help you strengthen your technique and prepare under realistic exam conditions.
