How to finish any exam on time and pass with flying colors

Some exams are scheduled for a short period of time. Most exams with short duration are usually scholarship exams, competitive exams (exams for a competition) and some other exams.

The duration of a particular exam can be enough for some and not for others. The major lesson you should note is that duration is always short for those that did not prepare well.

Here are some tips to help finish your exam on time;

1. Prepare and read well:

The best time to start preparing is when you have made all the findings about the exam. Preparing early is also advisable for students. Reading the syllabus or the common topics and subjects of the exam is also helpful. When you read make sure you understand what you are reading do not cram unless what you are learning requires you do to so. Cramming can be a useful and dangerous tool. The problem with cramming is that you must not miss a single word. This is why it is better to read and understand. Although, cramming is useful when you are about to write an exam whose duration is short.
