Arriving Late For a Paper:
Most of us are punctual, especially for important occasions. However,
some of us may have a habit of being late. Even if you are a punctual person,
there may be times when things just suddenly crop up and you end up late for an
appointment.
Late comers are the norm rather than the exception for many major
examinations. Just ask any examiner. If you are the unfortunate latecomer, you
may sometimes be barred from sitting for that particular paper. Even if you do
get to sit for the paper, much precious time would have been lost. On top of
that, your mind would still be reeling from the rush. You would not be calm
enough to attempt the paper before you.
What can you do to avoid being late for a paper? Be there early! Give
yourself enough time to travel to the venue of the test or exam. Spare yourself
at least half an hour at the venue. Use this time to familiarize yourself with
the place and setting, so that you know what to expect when the paper starts.
For example, if you could know in advance that the air-conditioning is
very strong, then you would be mentally prepared for the cold. If you have
brought along a sweater, you could then wear it and be able to sit through the
paper comfortably.
