8. Use your time wisely
The most crucial factor in taking a test is time. You need to always be aware of the clock when taking a test. Organize your time wisely. If a test you are about to take has a value of 100 points, in which two questions are each worth 25 points and a third question is worth 50 points you would divide your time so that ¼ of the test time is spent on the 25 point questions, and half of the test time is devoted to the 50 point question. This gives you a better chance at getting a high score.

If you find that time has run out before you’ve completed the test don’t panic. Jot down the central points to those questions remaining. Putting down at lease something gives you a chance at earning at least partial marks.

You could write a note to your teacher informing them that you ran out of time. There’s a chance the teacher might be more lenient.

But do everything you can to take advantage of each minute. When answering matching questions, cross out the matches you have used so that time isn’t wasted re-reading them over and over. This is a great time saver.
