Time Management for Exams

To reach the full potential in exams, one has to manage their time really well. Exams seem the most dreadful thing to a student as there is so much information to grasp and retain. Exams are fundamentally testing your ability to make the most of the time available to recollect the information from your mind and apply it where it is required the most.

The Heritage School North Campus, one of the top CBSE schools in Dehradun has gathered some top tips on how to finish your exam on time:

1. Perfect Your Writing

One of the worst things about exams is the ache you get in your arm, wrist, and hand after intense writing. Choose your pens wisely as they can make a huge difference. Practice your writing ahead of exams so you don’t end up wasting your time perfecting your writing in the exam. 

2. Don’t Waste Time

In exams, no one has time to waste, especially in language paper where you get essay questions. It is advised that don’t look here and there and just focus on your paper. Look down and focus on what you need to write. 

Always make a point to visit the washroom before your exam reporting time as you would not want to waste time during the exam.

3. Practice Past Papers 

Once you are thorough with the syllabus, find last year's question papers to solve. Set the timer and take mock tests. Mark the timings when you have completed the paper and how many questions are left (if any). The record will help you to know where you are lacking.

4. Make Plan

Once the question paper arrives, make sure you give a thorough read. Answer the question first which you know by heart. Ask for new scripts before you need them as it saves time and makes you panic less. Also never spend more than 7 minutes on essay-based questions.

5. Keep Track of Time and Divide it

Keep your watch to not lose track of time. Structure and divide your time in a way giving priority to the questions which carry the highest marks. Leaving early seems irresistible but sit and re-read what you have written. You would not want to realize that you have missed an important point or you wrote something wrong.
