[freaking_out]

yeah, what do u guys usually do in reading time? also, is there other exam techniques that u'would like to share with us.

 

[redslert]

i pray that i don't fail...

i read the questions, see which ones i can and which ones i can't do....
maths reading time is really useless!

i usually meditate in the school chapel before hands....it helps....for me....

also i have been told to rip out the integral sheet during reading time

Try to do (some of) Q7/8 in your head, then when you get there it will seem a little clearer...

 

[blah]

Look for the question which you can't and can do. Then read the easy ones which you are going to do first. Because the first few minutes is when people usually get nervous and make silly mistakes like me.

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

go thru q7 + 8 and see which one's are relatively easy to do them b4 i get bogged down in other qs later on, then start mentally going thru q1 and 2...

 

[ND]

I flip straight to Q8 and pray that it's not probability.

 

[ricenoodles]

Q6 probablity is hard enough let alone 8...man i cant even do some Q5 ones. i suck

 

[tonberry_kun]

during reading time i take a 5min powernap!

I cast the mighty guard mantra, which protects me from status ailments such as exam fatigue, confusion, berserk due to stress, lust over the pretty girl sitting next to you, and stuff like that. Those exam judicators like casting spells on you, so you oughta be careful.

I just pray that no mechanics questions are there, since it's a pain writing 4+ pages trying to prove an equation..

Ripped out integral sheet, looked through the questions, looked at which ones are definitely doable, then start solving in your head.
NOTE: This doesn't mean you write up the whole solution. Remember what I said about automation? Gives you time to figure out what to do for the moderately tough ones..

The RPG factor comes in again...

 

[underthesun]

since there's gonna be an overload of RPGs after the chemistry exam .

good idea turtle, but my usual method is mental solving of the first and second question.. then ~6 minutes later the first 15 marks should be in . ~8 minutes later the next 15, and ~10 minutes later then next 15. But that will mean spending my 5 minutes reading time on the first 3 questions. 45 marks. mmm...

Are we allowed to throw standard integral papers around the exam room after folding them to papers?

I usually use the 5 mins to allocate time for each question
