    Common Exam Mistakes

    Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

    • •Being too theoretical without practical examples.
    • •Failing to adapt support to individual pupil needs.
    • •Not reflecting on own practice.
    • •Confusing mentoring with coaching or counselling, leading to inappropriate use of directive advice instead of facilitative questioning.
    • •Failing to establish clear boundaries and a formal agreement, resulting in scope creep or dependency.
    • •Neglecting to record contemporaneous notes of mentoring sessions, which undermines the portfolio of evidence.
    • •Assuming that safeguarding only applies to young people or vulnerable adults, rather than recognising it as a duty for all mentees.
    • •Overlooking the importance of self-reflection and supervision, presenting a static rather than evolving professional practice.

    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •Use specific examples from your placement.
    • •Link your answers to relevant policies and frameworks.
    • •Show how you work as part of a team.
    • •In the professional discussion, reference specific mentoring models (e.g., GROW, CLEAR) and link them directly to anonymised mentee scenarios to demonstrate depth of understanding.
    • •For the portfolio of evidence, ensure each piece is mapped to the assessment criteria and includes a reflective commentary explaining the rationale behind your actions.
    • •During observation, explicitly verbalise your thought process when using questioning techniques to show intentionality behind your approach.
    • •In the professional discussion, structure your responses using the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to clearly demonstrate competency.
    • •Ensure your portfolio of evidence includes a variety of evidence types (e.g., lesson plans, observation reports, learner feedback) cross-referenced to the assessment criteria.
