What to do when you get stuck on an exam

There are moments that are especially critical in a test, but at the same time, they are frequent. Have you ever gotten stuck in a exam? On many occasions, this feeling has nothing to do with a lack of preparation but with excess pressure, nerves, lack of self-confidence and fear of failing. How to act in these types of situations? Instead of getting tangled up in a certain question, it is positive that you move on to another part of the exam, the one whose answer you know best, and start writing it. This will help you avoid getting caught in the negative circle of doubt.

That is, while when we study a theme For an exam or we do our homework, we must start by doing those tasks that are more difficult for us to avoid the habit of procrastination, on the contrary, during an exam it is very important to start the test by answering those sections whose answer you know. In this way, you make good use of time.

Once you have answered those questions that you do know, slowly reread the statement of the section that you left blank and try to put what you know about it. If you really do not feel safe with the answer, and you consider that what you can say does not contribute anything that is directly related to the question, then leave the answer blank.

When you get stuck on an exam, take a deep breath. If you need dirty paper to be able to make some kind of annotation or a preliminary draft, ask the teacher.
