Exam Hall Strategy Time Guessing and Calm
Introduction
An exam hall is noisy in your head. The goal is to protect your focus for two hours
Time plan
Divide the paper into two or three passes. First pass quick wins. Second pass medium. Third pass leftover questions if time permits

Takeaway
Simple routines keep you calm. Win easy marks early then build up
