Managing time effectively during an exam is crucial for maximizing performance. Here’s a strategic approach to help you stay on track and complete the paper efficiently:

🧠 Strategic Approach

  • ⏱ Scan the Paper (First 2–5 minutes):
    Go through the entire question paper to identify and mark the questions as easy, moderate, and difficult.

  • 📊 Time Allocation:
    Quickly estimate how much time you should spend on each section or question based on its weightage or difficulty.
    ✅ Start with easier questions to build momentum and confidence.
    ⏳ Save time for more challenging ones.

  • 🕵️‍♂️ Keep Track of Time:
    Use a watch or the exam hall clock to ensure each question is completed within the time you’ve allotted.

  • 🤯 Avoid Overthinking:
    If you get stuck, move on to the next question and return later if time permits.

  • ✍️ Attempt All Questions:

    • ✅ If there’s no negative marking, make educated guesses for unanswered questions.

    • ❌ If there’s negative marking, skip or mark for review unless you’re fairly confident.

  • 🕔 If You Run Out of Time:
    Focus on completing the remaining questions using bullet points or short answers rather than leaving them blank.

  • 🔁 Reserve Time for Revision:
    Allocate the last few minutes to revise your answers, catch silly mistakes, and ensure no question is missed.
