Exam Literacy
Plan Your Time in an Exam
- Note the total time for the exam and add any extra time if you have been awarded this.
- Read through the exam paper. Note how many questions you have to answer.
- Look at the mark scheme carefully for each question and plan your time accordingly.
- You may want to look for questions you can easily answer and do these first to build your confidence at the beginning.
- Pace yourself. Look back over your answer at the end of each question rather than leave it all to the end.
- If you get stuck on a question, jot down some bullet points and move on. You may be able to come back to it and another question may trigger your memory.
