What Are The Most Important Things To Bear In Mind When Starting An Exam?

First, nearly everyone experiences a moment of panic when they see the questions, which look so difficult as to be almost meaningless. So you're not alone. Take a deep breath, a sip of water and read them again. If allowed, underline key words. Take a minute or two to choose your questions – it's vital not to be influenced by people around you who may be writing from the word go. You don't know if they're doing the right thing. If you can't choose a question, maybe try jotting down words associated with each one – see if one feels easier than another.
Having chosen, again you shouldn't rush into writing. Take a few minutes to make notes. Especially if you have writer's block, just carry on jotting more detailed notes for a bit – you're not wasting time, because the essay will go much faster when you do start. When you start, always have the question in mind.

The most important thing....RELAX. Nothing is worst than being knocked up about an exam.
