Exam information help please!

hi, i am sitting my first exam on Sunday at the Pitman Training facility in Hammersmith, London.

I am a bundle of nerves!!
I know there is a 2 hour limit and I'm just a bit weirded out as the sample assessments on here have taken me roughly an hour to do (each) and I'm guessing they are shorter then the actual exam??
If so, then i just don't want to tie myself up in knots over time and end up screwing it up because I'm worried about how long it will take me?

Im not good at exams. Especially computer based ones! I prefer paper based.

Also, you are graded immediately correct? does it flash up on the screen (similar to how it did on the sample assessments?) or do i need to flag down an invigilator?

Do i just get up and leave when I'm finished? or flag down an invigilator to leave?
Can i take in a bottle of water?
Do i need my own scrap paper?

I am an organised person and take comfort in knowing the facts and being prepared but i have tried to contact Pitmans constantly over the last couple of weeks to find out this information and they neither pick up their phones or answer their emails.
Any replies would be gratefully received!
Thank you

The time limits are very generous especially at level 2/3 if you know the topics. The sample assessments are indicative of the real exams.

Results do not flash up on the screen, but if it's still the same as when I did mine the centre will print the result for you as soon as you finish (assuming not Level 4).

Yes just get up and leave the exam room, go back to reception to get your results. My Pitman centre didn't have an invigilator, just cameras.

Yes you can take water, no not paper - this will be provided.

Chill out!
