Study Notes
Time Management Strategy for Exams
- Effective time management is crucial for every sheet in an exam.
- Allocate 6-7 minutes for 10-mark questions, which usually span 2 sheets.

Step-by-Step Approach
- Start with 15-mark questions to adjust to your handwriting and initial speed.
- When studying a question, immediately identify and label the number of parts (e.g., (1), (2), (3)).
- For 10-mark questions, expect 2 parts, and for 15-mark questions, expect 3 parts.
- Divide the answer into 3 parts for 15-mark questions, using 3 pages.
- Allocate 3 minutes per page, and use the remaining time to present information in a tabular or diagrammatic format if needed.
- Avoid spending too much time on writing, and focus on presenting key points concisely.
