I have this habit of constantly like every 5 -10 mins looking at the clock during an exam! I fully cant help it.. i have no idea of time.. i swear id die if someone took the clock!!anyone else do this or are u quiet good at managing to not look at it often?

oh oh me!!!

I must spend a whole 5 minutes altogether looking at a clock! It's only because I know I'm a slow writer...

EDIT: Well I think so anyway compared to freaks who write 21 pages in 40 minutes... you do realize that's less than 1 minute per page... there's no time to think!?!?

from where ive sat so far i can bearly even see the clocks, but i keep the time on my watch timer anyway. i didnt worry about the time so much in the chemistry exam, but the english exams are so hard to manage time in. i reckon they should make them 2.5 hours instead

yeahhhhhhh the first eng exam i spent too long on sec 1, so from then on ive made note to look at the clock every so often!
and im looking at it every 10 -15mins lol phewwwwwwwww
sometimes i seem to write alot (and 10 mins has gone by)
or i write very little and 20s has passsed
i have minor phases of writing at different speeds!
i suppose also its the amount of words/info popping out of my head that i have to quickly add before they vanish lol

I have to otherwise I would just keep writing for only one section. But I stress everytime the clock draws near to the time in which I should be moving on.

I also tend to look at the clock a lot when I don't know what to write!

But the stupid people write the finish time so small I can never read what time the exam finishes, and I always forget to look at what time we start because I am concentrating on putting pen to paper...
and a little off topic but in the 2nd English exam they didn't turn the mic off after reciting the "rules" so everytime someone walked near it their footsteps reverberated through the speakers, but they're all so old and deaf they can't hear it!!

yeh i look at the clock like every 10 mins or so then i know if i should be rushing whatever im doing or i can keep pacing myself.. im good at managing my time like although in business i spent an hour an 10 mins on a report i knew i wouldnt have as much to talk about in the global one so i would only need 50 mins for it so yeh

I do that too, argh if I don't I'll take up too much time in one section and then stuff up everything else... looking at the time makes me more careful of what I'm writing.
