What we read
We have now read and thought about Bixby and Scanlons (2013, p. 56) ideas and suggestions to enhance your success in timed exams, which most students have to do at some point in their academic careers.

Bixby and Scanlon's questions
These are the three questions that Bixby and Scanlon ask us to discuss in their "Over to you" section, which concludes this study skills page.
- What could you do to avoid feeling nervous in timed essay situations?
- Which tips are the most important to you?
- The next time you do timed writing, what will you do differently?
- Which tips will you try?
As usual, you can address these questions in any order. You can write one comment, or if you prefer, two comments. I thought that their second and third questions were the most important, so you might like to start with them; however, you are the writer, and that is a decision for you to make.
