Time

As with all exams, planning your time is very important. There’s nothing worse than failing an exam because you run out of time to answer all the questions. So, make sure you know exactly how long you have to do the exam.

  • How much time do you have for the test?
  • How many texts do you have to read?
  • Work out how much time you can spend on each text.
  • Leave a few minutes at the end to check your answers.
Discussion

Sometimes we all need more time when doing exams.  Have you ever finished early in an exam?  Have you ever not had enough time?

When I was in class2-3 I couldn't finish my exam on time. When I was in class5 I can finish on time. But now I'm in class 7. Sometimes, I can't finish my exam because of the question pattern. We have to solve 30 MCQ and & CQ. o answer CQ I need a lot of time. I wish the question pattern will be changed.

There were many times when I completed the test early, but there were times when I was slow and even the slowest in the examination room. But I still try my best to get good grades.
