Free Your Brain:

When you first get your exam, write down any information that is difficult to remember such as formulas, dates, keywords, etc. on the back of the exam. Then, you can reference

it while you’re taking the exam without worrying if you’ll remember it correctly.

Carefully Read All of the Directions

Most students lose points on exams because they were careless and didn’t fully read all of the

directions; don’t be one of them!

Read the Entire Exam Paper:

When you first get your exam, read through the entire exam paper and mark the questions you know that you can answer or questions that you don’t know right off the bat.

Skip the Questions You Don’t Know

Don’t waste time on questions you’re unsure of. Mark them with question marks and move

on; you can go back to them later.

Double Check Your Work

Use any extra time you have to double check your answers, make sure you’ve followed all the directions, and haven’t skipped any pages.

Look Elsewhere on the Exam for Answers

Sometimes the answer to one question may be found on another section of the exam worded differently.

Pace Yourself

Being able to take an exam quickly yet carefully is essential. If necessary, wear a watch or periodically keep your eye on the clock so you are aware of your time left. Also, don’t get

anxious if you hear other students finishing their exam early.

Ask Questions:

If you are confused about the wording or meaning of a question, ask your professor. Don’t risk getting a question wrong because you misunderstood it.

Write answers of skipped questions:

After completing the answers try to solve/write the answers of the questions that you have left them earlier.

Relax you mind:

When you have finished your entire exam paper be sure that you haven’t left answering any question. Relax your brain and be happy.

Good Luck!
