There are times when we would have to prove ourselves by writing timed exams. Examination might not be the test of knowledge, but you would be tested on certain cognitive abilities by so doing. You would not be able to succeed such exams if you do not get familiar with the questions.
A teacher of mine who was not too friendly with his class would always leave us with exercises after his classes. The reason why his class was not abreast with him was because he never liked explaining terms deeply. But he would always give us too many assignments so that we would get used to the questions.
Most people who fail timed exams are intelligent. The reason why they fail is that they are slow. They might have spent all their time trying to answer a question. But some students would just do some predictions and come out victorious.
Knowing the questions
You must familiarize yourself with the questions. This may sound like a cheat, but it is simply common sense. The subject may be Maths or even English. If it is Maths, then get even with solving Maths problems. The faster you solve them, the better for you. Timed exams do not care only about accuracy, but speed is also considered. For English, it may be comprehension or even summary. Just calm down and figure out ways to skim through compositions. The key points you would get would be very useful to answer most of the questions.
Time is important
Time yourself and watch how fast you can get. When you must have done this about a thousand times, then your brain would get used to answering exam questions very fast. Difficult questions are not far away from exams. You would surely meet them. But you really have to avoid them if you want to be fast indeed. I don’t mean that you should avoid them and submit. Focus on the simple questions first because they would help utilize your time. You can then use your remaining time to answer the hard questions.
Prayer is the key
Do not also forget to pray. There are times when you would be stuck when answering the questions. You wouldn’t want that ordeal to happen to you. Prayer is what would help you even as you add up your knowledge to it.
Sleep well and think well
You must take enough rest and be positive. Even if you are not fully prepared, just believe that you would come out victorious. Such positive thoughts always have smooth link with the excellence of your brain. Eating the right food is also salient. Do not eat what you have, but eat what you need in this case. When you pass your exams, you can then eat what you want.
