1. Cram and do a memory dump (write down) the MOST useful bits of info/factoids (facts, figures, formula, etc)... BEFORE you read the exam paper.
2. Quickly scan through the Exam Paper to get some sense of the 'challenge'... i.e. easy questions and difficult questions.
3. Do the 'Easy' questions first... and mark the difficult questions as 'Maybe' and '&*%%$' as you go.
4. When you finish the 'Easy'... go back and do the 'Maybe'
5. So far so good (you've probably passed the exam already)... If you have time, go back to the Q's marked '&*%%$'... and either attempt or, write a short and polite note to the Examiner on the reason why you could not attempt those questions (e.g. "not taught, out of time, no clue, ambiguous question, etc).
6. You've done your best!... So relax, the result of THIS particular exam is what it is... If you want to/need to do better in the next exam, then you'll need to work harder on preparation (Classroom and Homework) BEFORE taking the next exam!
