Friends could you please tell me how to finish ama paper within the time frame of three hours. Despite the fact that costing was easy paper this time I could attempt only 75 marks. Last time the same thing happened to me and that time I could attempt only 78 and got only 45 marks. Please share any strategy to overcome the problem.

speed and concept clarity will take less time.

better to focus on speed and the demand of questions.

some time we waste our time in some working which is actually not required.

Some additions from my side which may help you

1. Avoid using calculator as much as possible

2. Please try to write practice exams (atleast 3 previous papers) - SERIOUSLY

3. Find out the ways how to utilise the 15 minutes which will be available for you at the exam beginning

4. Follow the strategy that at the first hour of your exam you should get answered or write answer for atleast 40 marks - it gives confidence & energy to finish the paper within time. But it will come only through practice

5. Avoid starting lengthy questions in the first hour of the exam

Cost exam paper was never meant to be completed in 3 hours. Notes and workings are important for scoring good marks. Its better to attempt 75 marks with proper working notes than to attempt 100 marks without proper notes.
