Larry7crys is correct.
Try using this technique...
Go through the exam and only answer the questions you find easy. Mark any questions you have skipped. When you get to the end of the exam, go back through and tackle the ones you marked earlier. Repeat this process until you have either answered all the questions, or time has run out.
The reason for this is that you get EXACTLY the same number of points for EVERY question regardless of whether it is easy or hard. If it takes you
ten minutes to answer a really hard question, you will get
one point. If it takes you
ten seconds to answer a really easy question, you will get
one point.
You still may end up with some questions left unanswered when your time runs out. But at least they will be the harder questions that yo umight not have been able to answer correctly anyway. You will have maximized your time by ensuring you had a chance to answer all the easy questions that you are most likely to get right.
I have used this technique, to great success, with every exam I have taken. The harder the exam, the better this technique will work for you.
Hope that helps,
