Exam Hour: Time Management

One of the key aspects for doing well in your exams and making sure your efforts have not gone to waste, is definitely completing the actual exam paper itself. Although this statement sounds very obvious, a lot of students do not complete their paper on time, and as a result lose marks on questions which they know, but do not have time to complete. There could be various reasons for this, but we'll focus on how to effectively manage your exam time to complete your paper:

1) Choose Wisely: One of the most important choices you can make during your exams is which option to choose and which ones to leave out. Almost all examinations have options, where you must select the question you find better for yourself. Use your reading time very well, to mentally decide which questions to choose to avoid wasting precious writing time. Another analysis you must make while choosing your questions, is that if you know all the answers, try selecting the questions which would take the least time to complete, so you have more time to revise or go through your paper after you are done writing. 

2) Don't know it? Leave IT!! 

So many times when you are writing your paper, you come across a question and think to yourself, "WHEN DID WE LEARN THIS???" In such instances, it is better to leave a little space, and go on to the next question without wasting even a moment, as you would rather fill up your paper with answers that you already know really well, rather than think waste time thinking about an answer you do not know, and then writing it not knowing whether it is right or wrong. If you have time after you are done with everything, then you can easily go back to that question and give it a good attempt. 

3) Keep a track of time: Sometimes you can get carried away while writing a particular answer. You maybe writing and writing not realizing the time, when suddenly you realize you have only half an hour left and a lot of questions pending to be answered. To make sure this doesn't happen, keep a watch in front of you, right on top of your answer sheet and keep giving it a glance to ensure your writing is on track. 

4) Be Confident!!

Lastly, be confident while writing your paper. Be confident with what you have learnt, and are writing currently. This ensures a smooth flow of writing, and no cancellations adding to the aesthetic value of your written paper. So, if you have worked hard and know the answers, there is no need to second guess yourself. GO FOR IT!! 



We really hope these tips help you while writing your paper, and you are able to complete it before time.
