Two elements:
- Thinking in English. I cannot interpret what I read exactly into my mind, so I am not able to obtain a clear picture of the problem to think about it. As a result, I waste a lot of time in repeating the interpretation but still couldn’t get it. My mind is also rigid. When facing an unconventional problem, I’m actually trying guessing the answer instead of figuring it out.
- Mental quality. I feel panic especially when time is not enough. This makes me lose my mind, and waste more time.
Solution:
- You need more practice on homeworks and exams, by getting your mind moving fast.
- I guess you should be confident anyway, since you are aware that, it cannot be worse now.
