Keep track of the time. Don’t just fill the pages. Let your answers have appropriate content. Maintain the order of the questions. Even if you plan to answer some questions later then put the number and leave the blank space to answer them. This way your order is maintained and there is no confusion.
Write neatly and legibly. Don’t overwrite. If there is any mistake just strike only once and write the correct one. Sometimes even if you write correctly and the answer sheet is clumsy you will lose marks as the examiner will not understand and he will not have so much patience to read.
Revise the answer sheet before giving the paper.
