Does not completing your exam decrease your grade?

that's a bit harsh. some people have never been fast writers no matter how much they try. why should they be put at a disadvantage?


Well tough. Practice until you can write sufficiently fast for an exam. Everyone has excuses for why they don't complete the exam or if they don't get their target grade but the excuses are always something other than them not doing enough work for it and they ask for things like extra times to make it easier. Few of my friends are dyslexic and they don't even apply for extra time cause it doesn't affect them, so why should someone with nothing to affect them get an advantage? Lol

What part of no matter how hard they try do you not get?! I've never been a fast writer. Of course I've tried to speed up. I CAN'T!

So you're speaking from personal experience now are you

So your excuse of choice is the "no matter why I do I can't write faster"

Aight ok, lol you can you just don't do enough. Don't sit there in the exam writing out every word like you rewriting the bible then maybe you'll learn to write faster lols

Either way, your problem, not the exam boards
RAP MON AND ZICO WERE IN THE SAME UNDERGROUND? HOLY DAMN FVCK, HOW COME I DONT KNOW XD
AND YASSS ZICO IS MY BIAS IN BLOCK B, HES AMAZING, HIS PERSONALITY IS AMAZING, HES JUST MWAHH
and sorry is by super junior, imo its a stupid song but i like it because it's stupid xD
you might have a different opinion tho lol

OP - you just need to practice papers. Wasting time on one Q does nothing to help you.
It's easier to gain average marks doing all Qs, than gain perfect marks doing one, and then failing the others by running out of time. Think of it as an increasing curve, the difficulty in gaining full marks (for essays in particular) increase drastically - thus your time is best spent ensuring ALL your Qs are done.
Figure out, if possible, how much time you have to do each Q and stick to it. Plan each at the start to save time.
All this applies when you get to uni to if you go.

OH MY SDGVSBAJCHKSJDBNCOSJDLKX
THIS BETTER NOT BE FORGED EVIDENCE
THE TWO YOUNGEST MEMBERS ARE TOGETHER??

I don't really like Super Juniors that much. They're really old as well.
The oldest I can handle is my bae G-Dragon.

Jesus don't cry over it, some people write faster and they finish their exams early and they have an advantage and yet no one complains. Some people write slower. Writing too slow to get your target grade? Practice till your hand drops off instead of feeling sorry for yourself

It's easy to manage time if you've practiced past papers with timing.
My personal tactic is that I look at the number of questions I'm given or number of pages and I divide the total time by that.
That way I know how long I can spend on each question/page.
Honestly, you should see what works for you.

SEE? I've CONTRIBUTED to your cause. And possibly helped you out immensely.

My knowledge is completely fine when it comes to exams and I usually know and understand most of the content + context that they're asking about, time management however....I am completely s*** at it!

It's either that I write too much for one question (to make sure that I nailed it) but it just results in me not having enough time to do the rest of the questions on the paper, or it's that I get nervous over the time that I have left during the exam, which my nervousness makes me panic then my mind just goes into one heap of madness and results in me writing slower.

I've always had this problem ever since my GCSE's - no matter how much I do past papers, it's really rare for myself to finish my exams, and I'm scared that it would result in me getting bad grades because I've worked so hard for my AS this year so I want to get the grades that I fully deserve...

Any advice? :frown:

Try going to the learning support department at your school- they might be able to give you some advice or get you 25% extra time- I have extra time partly because I have the exact same issue as you!! Good luck! x

I do try. It doesn't work. I'm not crying over it but people who criticise me when they don't know me really piss me off!

Now you gonna have everyone applying for extra time because of one comment. You won't be getting extra time unless you've got extenuating circumstances like actual dyslexia that affects how quickly you can work through an exam paper. You had months to work on your time management and if you still haven't sorted it then well tough really, keep doing past papers and maybe it'll help for the last few exams


Just FYI, there's a girl at my school who's not dyslexic but writes r e a l l y slowly and she has Extra Time.

I'm not even bothered enough to criticise you, you do what you want lol I'm just saying it's annoying when people cry over it then don't help themselves and just rely on help from the exam board or somet

You're emphasising how extreme it is then fair enough. But if people run out of time just cause they spend too long on one question its their fault lmao

It's just fanservice isn't it?

I've seen Taeil and B Bomb making out.
By accident.
In some compilation of fanservice videos of kpop idols kissing XDD
Have you tried bulletpointing the key facts.
If you go over time , leave it, go onto the next question and come back at the end
