How to manage time effectively in exams??

Answer 1

I thought you meant in the actual exam... if you do, then this is what i'd do...

If it's an essay exam, divide the time you have into the number of questions you have to answer and then you know roughly how much time you've got to spend on each one of them. That way you don't go on and on and then find out you only have 5 minutes to do the other questions.

If it's a short answer or multiple choice then go quickly thorugh the whole thing answering those questions you find very easy, then go back and do the medium - hard ones and finally go back one more time and do the hard ones. No use getting stuck in a hard one early on and lose valuable time you could be using to answer lots of other questions!

Good luck :-)

Answer 2

First, use a number two pencil. Don't use a pen. A pencil helps you review your writing and correct errors. Second, don't try to write too quickly. Try to make a short outline--even if it only has three main points and three subpoints--and then stick to your outline. Nothing works as well as having a structure to your exams that professors can actually follow. The biggest mistake is simply to write as fast as you can and throw out as much knowledge as you have. The professors will have a hard time following your thought process, whereas if you have a clear structure, even if you are wrong on the basics, they will be able to follow your thought process and will give you a decent grade. Finally, make sure your handwriting is legible: it is amazing how much of good grades relates to simple legible handwriting.

Good luck.

Okay, I'm not sure if you're asking about actually taking the exam or preparing for it.
If you're talking about in preparation for the exam, then that is a difficult question to answer because everyone studies and learns in different modes.
However, if you're talking about actually taking the test, here's what I always did. I would go through the test and answer all the questions I was sure I knew. Then, go back through to the ones you can eliminate answers to. Plus, once you've gone through the test once, there is a chance you have eliminated some answers because of information you already knew.
Best of luck to you. Too bad you're not in my classes; I don't give tests :)

Answer 4

If it's one with lots of questions, I would say the same as the one above about answering the ones you know first, then going back to the others, but if it's one where you need to write a long essay answer, then you have to do a rough plan of your answer with all the main points in, so as you are writing you can keep referring to your plan and see how far along you are, and then if you think you are running short of time just make sure all the points are covered even if only briefly.

Answer 5

Well i know exam time is a crucial time, and its management is very important.

to manage time first decide your goal, how much % you want to earn, and decide your study time accordingly, suppose you targeted for 80 % than you need 8 hrs to study.

than prepare your time table on a big chart paper with 10 minutes recreation time after every hr. and paste this paper in front of your bed. than follow it with full determination.

all the best for your exams.
