For Students and Parents:

• Double-check your subjects: Ensure your enrolled subjects are accurately reflected in the list submitted by your school. Any discrepancies should be clarified with your school authorities.
• Know your syllabus: Be familiar with the syllabus and specific subjects for which practical exams will be conducted. This will help you prepare effectively.

For Schools:
