How to manage time in the VCAP exams?

when I was attending VCAP-DCA I stuck on a task for 1 hour without realizing (In VCAP exams time flies like a jet) , so this time  I have followed below steps in order to track and manage time.
 
–  Once I entered into the Exam Venue, I got one Erasable PAD and Pen

–  In the pad, I wrote the Numbers 1 to 28 (No of questions).
–  You can observe time counter on Top Right side.
–  So I wrote 1 with Start time say 230 Min  – 1) Start -230
–  Started doing the task and at the end I wrote in the pad with end time and a tickmark.
–  ” 1)  Start 230 Min – end 221 Min – Tick ” .
–  This step will identify how long you take to complete one question / task and will help you in managing other questions.
        
Sample Question:

 

 Create a vAPP with following properties

  –  2 VMs inside VAPP
  –  Name first VM – InternalVM
  –  Name Second VM – ExternalVM
  –  Configure InternalVM with only Internal Network Connectivity.
   – Configure ExternalVM with both Internal Only Org Network and External NAT routed      Network.
