Rise And Write Under Pressure

What do you usually do when you are under pressure? Do you panic or get confused? Do you become more hot-tempered or just keep silent? People have different ways in doing things when under pressure. For some, working in such circumstance makes their lives more difficult; but for others, this becomes an opportunity to bring out the best in themselves especially when they have to write.

Writing is not a simple task and it becomes complex when you have to do it in a very limited time. Students often experience this in class. However, there are still some who can’t master the art of writing an essay when under pressure. Hence, if you want to improve your writing and timing skills, here are quick tips to guide you.

• Manage your time wisely
  As soon as you receive the questionnaire, read the question carefully. Once you have understood it, make a plan or an outline of what you are going to do. Let’s say you are given an hour to write your essay. In your outline/plan, specify how many minutes will be allotted in making a draft, in revising it, and writing your final essay.
  
  
• Answer properly
  Do this by being responsive to the question. The reason why students fail to pass an essay exam is their tendency to beat around the bush. They put unnecessary words, detail, or information rather than providing the answer(s) to the question.
  
  
• Organize your ideas and write them down. If you already have the answer to the question, you can easily write your essay. Collect your thoughts and ideas and organize them. Write simply and sensibly in order to finish your paper on time.

Every time you take an essay exam, just remember these tips and you are assured of a “Pass” and even greater than that. Just what like Kobe Bryant said, “Everything negative-pressure, challenges- is all an opportunity for me to rise.”
