Whats the first thing I should do when the exam starts?
Well just before the exam starts you're sitting in the room, and the first sign that the exam is about to start is when they pass out the papers, and the first thing you've got to do is you've got to read though the papers. There is time allowed by the examiners for you to do that. That'll usually be ten minutes, and that's if it's done properly. There are rushers and planners in the examinations. The rushers start right away, and research has shown that they do the wrong questions, and they don't score as well on the examinations as those that plan with a strategy. So, you should look though the questions, and jot down on the examination paper formulas and other things that come to mind as you look at the questions. This is so that you'll have a rough idea when you go back to do that question just exactly what you need to do. Choose your questions; choose the ones that you're going to feel happier with, and that will build up your confidence when you feel you've done something, and you feel that you've done it correctly. That will build your confidence to go on and do the rest of the exam. Also, make sure you keep the time, because if you do 100% of the paper you've got a chance of 100% of marks. If you do only 20% of the paper, you can only have a maximum of twenty percent of the marks, so make sure you do all the questions.
