Mistake 2: Spending Too Long on One Question
Many students get stuck on a difficult question and spend 20 minutes trying to solve it while easier questions worth the same marks go unanswered.
The fix: If you are stuck on a question after two minutes move on and come back to it later. Every mark counts equally.
Mistake 3: Not Planning Essays Before Writing
Students who jump straight into essay writing without a plan often produce disorganised answers that lose marks for structure and coherence.
The fix: Spend three minutes writing a quick outline before you start your essay. Introduction, three main points and conclusion. This simple step can add several marks to your score.
