Hi! As someone else who has extra time, I completely understand worrying or panicking about timing especially with essay subjects where timings can be weird. However, I'd say that the things that really helped me are taking the first 30seconds of an exam to just breath and calm myself down. Then just reminding yourself you have time, and practise doing past papers to show yourself that you can answer all the questions at the pace that makes you feel comfortable. Hope this helps :smile:

Why? I would try and slow down, ignore what other people think and figure out the timings that you have to do, not what everyone else has to do.
