Exams are coming up and I'm stressed. I read and write slowly and I know I'm going to run out of time on the vast majority of my exams, and I just don't know what to do.

Here is one idea.
If you can wear a wrist watch or there is a clock in the room, pace yourself by it. That way you won't spend too much time agonizing over any one question. This is really helpful for essay tests. It's usually pretty quick calculation. Two hours for exam with X number of questions which you realistically think you can answer X minutes each. For short answer and essay questions, You don't need it perfect, but you do need it complete. When time runs out on a particular question, move on. Don't beat yourself up. Just move on to the next question. The axiom that your first answer is usually correct is accurate. If you have time left over skim written answers first for grammar, etc. For math and science that have formulas or rules to memorize, when you first get the test write them out on the back of the test. Basically brain dump all that stuff so have room to think on the test questions. It will save time when you need the quadratic equation or the third law of thermodynamics some time later in the test. I hope some of this helps. |

I am stressed because I have a big exam online. The tech aspect messing up most worries me. Nothing is worse than the power or internet flickering and thinking the exam closed on me half done or just vanished into cyber space.

My exams are coming up also and i have anxiety. Mine comes from me coming to realize that my short term memory isnt what is used to be (been dealing with an illness) and im taking a statistics course. Math isnt my strong suit in the first place, so my stuggles are compounded. I remember to include myself in my prayers, you guys do the same

Don't give up,you still have some time to study and prepare for them. If you know what might be on the exams,you could always practice and time yourself.
