  time and energy on the exam. You do not have to
  start on p.1 and finish on p.3!
• Start where you want to if you frequently run
  out of time on the essay, start there instead . .

• Or answer what you can in each section, then come
  back later if you have time to finish it (just
  make sure you remember to come back!)
