3. Always Write A Detailed Answer:

It is the mindset of numerous students that if your answer is short, then it is the wrong answer. They try to make their answer longer by adding extra and unwanted things. Often the instructor only wants a keyword to give you scores. Telling stories and writing 2 to 3 pages of answers is not the correct way of attempting the exam. You only need to answer to the point.


4. Time Management:

If you haven’t manage your time, then you can do attempt your exam accurately. Sometimes students tend to start the paper slowly, thinking they have all the time in this world but end up getting lost in it. Time management is an essential part of attempting the exam. You need to divide your time based on the number each question has.


5. Check Your Work Before Submitting:

Reading your exam before submitting will save you from a lot of embarrassing mistakes. It is crucial to read out all the answers as well as questions that you have attempted. By reading, you can find small and silly mistakes that you ignored while writing.


The last thing is, whatever happens, do not panic. Pure panic is the cause we end up making a fool out of our self.
