+701 So, I am really bad with managing my time during tests and sadly my math teacher told us that we will only have 80 minutes to complete the test. I am really stressed and I would really appreciate it if i could get some tips from you guys so I can have the ability to actually finish the test :)
Thank you so much!
Remember, even the smallest tip will help :-)
+6250 Go through the entire test answering those questions that you can easily (or that believe you can easily) answer first.
Only then come back and attack problems you don't immediately see the answer to.
If you find yourself really getting bogged down in a problem move on.
Basically save the hardest problems for last.
How do you know which ones are the hardest problems? Well that's the trick isn't it.
So dont do what I do, this is what happens to me during math competition tests. DO NOT FOLLOW MY WAYS
stage 1
*sees first problem* OH SHOOT ITS REALLY HARD
*contemplates how hard the rest of the test is based on the first problem*
*wastes 1 minutes panicking and contemplating*
stage 2
decides to work hard and actually do first problem
*finished first problem* Oh its actually not that bad
stage 3
because of finishing first problem, i go on a roll and finish like 80% of the test
stage 4
*looks at time*
*realizes that life is a lie*
ok now lets just panic
lets spend two minutes contemplating how sad I will be when I fail this test
ok now I will actually will do the hard problems I skipped
*finishes one problem after hard work and deep thinking*
Stage 5
ten seconds left
guess guess guess
help me mah life is bad
timer goes off
person starts collecting tests
relaxes even though i failed the test
