There is no second thought that online mode of examination could be the new normal, for those taking the tests for first time it can be quite prodigious. Although it is quite similar to in-class exams, it is sensible to gain thorough knowledge about the method and techniques of the tests before appearing for one. Let's take a look at some of the strategies which will help to manage time and avoid making the common mistakes.
If you are one of the candidates, then you might have some queries about how exactly these tests will happen and what will be the guidelines. Spend some time to visit the website of the exam authority and read the assessment guidelines. Also read the admit card thoroughly and understand the instructions. Most of the authorities will allow you to download the admit cards one or two weeks before the assessment.
On the exam day, don’t rush to reach the venue. Your admit card will have the reporting time and gate closing time. In most cases they will not allow you to enter after the gate closure. Relax and plan your time.
Take things with you that are necessary and allowed inside the examination lab. Always keep any of your identification proof and a passport size photograph with you. Don’t carry too much weight in your bag. Keep only the required cash in your wallet, because you have to keep your belongings outside the entry gate.
You should be well versed with examination syllabus and question format. This can save a lot of time, because for every section of questions, there will be separate evaluation. Don’t spend too much time for a single section.
Whatever you take, keep it light and healthy. Don’t drink too much water. Most of the authorities will not entertain taking more than one bio-break during the assessment process. It will make you look suspicious to their eyes.
Don’t take unnecessary tension with you. Leave it outside the examination lab. Take a deep breath, sit back and relax.
Verify that the computer assigned for you is ready for the assessment well before the login process. Inform the invigilator/venue personnel if you find any abnormalities.
