    Common Exam Mistakes

    Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

    • •Failing to link theoretical knowledge to practical experiences, instead providing generic statements without specific examples from their own practice.
    • •Overlooking the importance of confidentiality, inadvertently sharing sensitive information in their portfolio or professional discussion.
    • •Not demonstrating a clear understanding of the distinction between the role of a teaching assistant and that of a teacher, leading to evidence that shows them taking on responsibilities beyond their remit.
    • •Insufficient reflection on their own practice; merely describing what they did without analyzing why it was effective or how they might improve.

    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •Throughout your portfolio, explicitly reference the relevant standards and how your evidence meets each criterion. Use a reflective model (e.g., Gibbs) to structure your accounts.
    • •Prepare for the professional discussion by revisiting key policies and legislation (e.g., Keeping Children Safe in Education) and be ready to discuss how you implement them daily.
    • •During the observation, focus on showing proactive support rather than passive presence; demonstrate your interactions with pupils and staff clearly.
