How to Finish Your Exams Faster

[canterter]

Here's a better way: *DONT* micromanage your entire exam with thinking how much time you're gonna spend on each question for every question, and just do the exam as normal, skipping the questions you're not prepared for

they legit told us this in school

“If you can’t figure out the answer for a question, skip it.”

I'm maths I start from the back, going backwards until TIME reaches halfway (tackle the harder more marks questions) then I move to the front and start there till i finish (completing the easy low mark questions)

[meaghanobrien]

I usually do the first 10 or so questions. Then when I get bored with those or hit a hard question, I jump to the last question and work backwards from there until I reach the point where I left off. I have terrible memory so if it’s online and I go to do the next question and then I realize I’m done it’s a nice little surprise.

This is one advantage of exams here in the U.K. We tend to have very little multiple choice questions, but each question is worth a certain number of marks (e.g. 4 mark explain question). The rule that the exam boards and teachers follow on how much time to give you is 1 mark = 1 minute, so if your paper was worth 30 marks, then you’d get 30 minutes.

What if they are cumulative?

I literally repeat the questions and answers in my head like a million times and then start thinking about movies. On average, I'm able to finish 60% of the test and guess on the rest

[starsdoyoulikethem]

I look through the exam paper quickly to see what the questions are like, and do the easy questions first. While I’m doing the easy questions, in the back of my mind I’m thinking about how to tackle the more challenging questions later

Tips which has always helped me:

• Don't waste your time on the questions you don't know the answer just skip it and leave for the later and when you're done you can look to those questions

• Don't waste your time on helping others

• When it's a maths exam so you should always start from the back for example if you have 20 questions so do the 20th question first because mostly they give the hard ones in last which consume a little more time and they are of more marks.

I hope it helps! ;)

Me: Alright... so let me see.. I have 20 minutes... let's see how much time I should spe- oh damn it's already time..

I never run out of time during a test before. The trick in passing the exam without cramming for the test is to just listen and be attentive in class, generally just enjoy class. You might not get the highest score/grade because you don't put much effort studying but you won't be having trouble on exam and avoid failing too

[eduardoxenofonte]

here's a tip: if all questions have the same marks, go from easiest to hardest, bc, for example, lets suppose an easy question takes you 3 minutes and a hard one takes 10, so if you only have an hour to do a test with 10 easy and 10 hard, going from easy to hard makes you 13/20, and hard to easy only 6/20

Another tip:
When exam starts, DO NOT open your paper. You should flip to the back where you can find a blank page, and just scribble down everything you can remember and then just do the questions.
Reason: If you start the exam just looking at the questions and answering them, your brain will not be able to remember the answer since a lot of knowledge is flowing through your brain, and if you scribbled down everything at the back first, then your brain won’t be filled with a lot of stuff since your wrote it all down, so you won’t suddenly stop and think of the answer to a question as you can just copy it from behind.
P.S. This saved my History grade.
*Disclaimer* I got this tip from FayeFilms, she’s a student in University of Melbourne.

"don't jump into the test without knowing what the questions are like"
So do I steal the test before the test day?

[lex.fc]

Something that helped me with the last test I took was starting on the last or most amount of point question and once I got stuck and didn’t know what to do, I would go into the test and do two or three other, easier, problems. This helped give me time to think and some different problems to look back on without my mind just blankly staring at the paper. This especially helps if you didn’t study, which I didn’t do.

Here's some tips for y'all
1. First and foremost, Review before the exam (either one to two hours before the test or even last minute)
2. Try asking the teacher what is the pointers to review
3. On the test, answer the question you know first
4. When choosing an answer look for what is different from other or what is more familiar too you
5. Use the cancelation method (cancel the choises that is less likely to be the answer so you can narrow down the choices then use the 4th tip)
6. When reviewing, don't memorize the whole definition of a term. Memorize or made a connection to a certain keyword that is unique for that term
