Although the examination time for each subject is 3 hours, which seems to be more time on the surface, there are still many candidates who fail to complete the examination paper due to various reasons every year. This phenomenon is mainly due to the following three aspects.
First of all, the test subjects themselves cover a large amount of content and are more difficult. Objectively speaking, one of the reasons why many candidates fail to complete the test paper in the initial examination is that the content of the test subjects itself is relatively numerous and difficult, which makes it difficult for many candidates to complete the answers within the specified time.
Taking Mathematics 1 as an example, this subject involves a wide variety of contents, a large amount of calculations, and a high degree of difficulty. As a result, many candidates fail to complete their examination papers in mathematics subjects on time every year. However, there are differences between different subjects, for example, few candidates report that they cannot complete the political subjects in the postgraduate examination.
Recalling my experience of going to graduate school that year, I chose Mathematics II, which had a huge amount of calculations and almost failed to complete it within the allotted time. Although three hours seems like a lot of time, in the exam room, it feels like there is not enough time.
Secondly, the lack of simulation training leads to a lack of proficiency in doing questions. Another reason why many students fail to complete the exam papers is that they lack sufficient revision and simulation training, and are relatively unfamiliar with the exam questions. What's more, some candidates have never even completed a complete set of postgraduate examination questions before the exam and take the exam directly.
Due to the lack of practice and the lack of proficiency in doing questions, it directly leads to the lack of time in the examination room. I remember a fitting remark from my math teacher in high school, emphasizing that there is very little time left for thinking in the exam room, and that you basically have to start solving the questions as soon as you read them. If you don't memorize formulas and theorems, you won't be able to finish them in the exam room.
The focus of the exam is on everyone's proficiency in the questions, rather than allowing everyone to analyze the questions in depth in the exam room and answer them calmly. Many people fail to complete the exam paper within the allotted time due to insufficient practice and proficiency.
Finally, many people fail to allocate their time scientifically and reasonably. Another important reason for not being able to complete the exam paper in the examination room is that many people do not know how to allocate the time for answering questions scientifically and reasonably.
Different subjects have different question types, scores, and levels of difficulty. Before the exam, you should clearly remember the characteristics of different subjects, develop your own answering skills, and arrange the answering time for each question reasonably.
Some students tend to stumble when they encounter questions that they don't know in the examination room, resulting in a lack of time for follow-up questions and ultimately failing to complete the test papers. In fact, you need to learn to make trade-offs in the exam room, and you should practice more in the usual simulation training to ensure how to allocate and use the time within the specified 3 hours, so as to get more marks on the basis of completing the test paper.
In general, many students fail to complete the exam papers within the specified time, mainly because the review is not solid enough and there is a lack of sufficient practice, resulting in insufficient time in the examination room. In order to improve the ability to cope with the exam, it is particularly important to strengthen the usual simulation training and scientific and reasonable time allocation.
