Those "3 hours" of exam will decide the fruits of labor which you have put toiling yourself the entire year. To improve your exam performance try these tips:
Planning
The students keep studying but they do not plan how they are going to take the exam. If you have 14 chapters in your syllabus, identify which of them you are more prepared and confident on. This will help you picking your questions in the multiple choice questions. Also, spend first 5 minutes reading the question paper thoroughly so that you know which one to attempt first. Attempt the question first which you have prepared better so that in the case of time crunch, you skip the unprepared ones and not the ones which were relatively easy for you.
Avoid last minute studying
As soon as you reach the exam center, you find some of the students are concentrating more on a chapter "X", and you feel that you haven't prepared that well and in the remaining 15 minutes you start studying that. NO! You must not study anything new or even revise at least half an hour before exams.
Time Management
If you have 4 sections in the question paper, distribute your time equally. It is even better if you can carry a stop watch where you can set the alarm. For example, if you have one hour to complete 6 questions, you must not spend more than eight minutes per question. Last 10 minutes should be kept for the revision of the paper. Also, you should not get stuck on one question, if time permits, you can always come back on that.
Reach the exam center early
Reach at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time. This will help you stay calm before you write your paper.
Don't think about the result
Put all your efforts in preparing well and performing your best before and during the exams. You must not worry about the result because the result will depend on how you perform. The stress of the result will not let you concentrate. So just keep doing your efforts and let the result be in the hands of God.
