I’m about to sit a history paper which has 3 sections, the time I have for the history exam is 2 hours and 20 minutes. I need to spent my time wisely on each section but some sections might take longer, so how should I manage my time well?

take breaks and prepare yourself and make a exam timetable for revision

Read the paper from beginning to end before you write anything. Then you are not going to get caught out by the scope of questions later on.

I would highly recommend reading it from beginning to end a second time before writing anything beyond a quick note. You'll subconciously prep your answers a little and should be able to crack on with them without overthinking.

For a 2.5hr exam, spending 5-10 mins doing this at the start is going to help you a lot more than just barrelling straight into Q1.

focus on the time you spend of qs based on the marks. i always start with the qs worth the least marks and try complete them as quickly as i can. then leave time for the most mark question. and if you finish the last question, then go back and add to your other qs in the remaining time.
