    Expert advice for exam success

    • •When demonstrating knot tying or splicing, practise until you can complete the task confidently in poor visibility or while wearing gloves
    • •For catch handling scenarios, always vocalise your reasoning: e.g., explaining why ice-to-fish ratio matters for shelf life
    • •In oral questioning, back up your answers with references to real incidents or near-misses to show situational awareness
    • •During practical assessments on machinery, perform pre-start checks aloud; examiners often credit systematic safety routines
