XAT 2021 - Tips to manage time on exam day

Let’s take a look at some great tips on how to manage time on XAT 2021 exam day.

Know your moves

To avoid the hassle, one should be knowing what they have to do later or what their next step will be. This will not only save them time but will make the whole process simpler and smoother.

Know how much time have for each section

Before you enter the exam room, there are a few steps to manage your exam time a little more. Candidates should practise mock tests to know the pattern of past exams. Practising mock test will be helpful for candidates to have an idea of how much time needs to be allotted for each section of an exam.

Make the most of reading time

Your reading time is usually only 5 minutes (10 min in some exams like English paper). While managing your time, use those first 5 minutes to read the entire exam carefully.

Practise writing quickly

If you do not do the practice papers before an exam, you will be surprised how difficult it is to write quickly and clearly.

Reach the exam centre before time

It is always helpful to reach the XAT 2021 exam centre 30 minutes prior to the exam commencement. Doing so will result in less to no pre-exam stress. This will also help the candidates in easily focusing more important things that have to be done before commencing the exam.

Keep the necessary things ready

One more important thing that the candidates should do is to keep all the necessary things at the XAT 2021 exam centre, such as the XAT 2021 admit card, ID proofs, etc. so that no time is wasted at the entry point to the exam centre.

Remember the roll number

Another thing a candidate can do to save a few minutes is to remember his/her XAT 2021 roll number so that it will get easier for them to locate their room and system. This will lead to a hassle-free pre-exam process.
