12 Explain reasons why 'time' is a scarce resource for a student revising for exams.

[Mamoona Hussain]

KN: Time is a scarce resource as it is limited compared to the subjects the students have to prepare.
APP: For instance, a student has to prepare two A levels subjects but only has one week.
AN: Due to this the student would have to prioritise the topics due to which some topics would be left out which would affect the student's overall performance in the exams and grades negatively.

[Dania Farooq]

(KN) Time is a scarce resource because it is finite and cannot be increased.
(APP)For eg, a student preparing for exams may only have 10 hours left to revise three subjects, since the time is limited, the student cannot spend equal hours on each subject while taking breaks. This forces them to make decisions, like giving more time a one of these subjects
(AN) thus so will hv to know how to divide time nd some subjects may get more focus than others.
This may lead to weaker preparation in the subjects that receive less time nd so less efficiency and demotivation.

(kn) Time is known to be a scarce resource because it's limited and fixed, meaning it cannot be increased or stored.
(app) Students usually only have a few weeks or hours each day in which they can revise for exams while also balancing their everyday school life and private life.
(an) Because of this scarcity, the student is forced to make choices about how to manage their time and pick which subjects to prioritize.

[Ayaan Fayaaz]

[KN]A student has a fixed number of hours in the day that must be shared between revision, rest, school, and personal activities.

[APP]For instance, if a student spends three hours revising Biology in the evening, they may not have enough time left to revise Business or to relax.


[APP]This makes time a scarce resource because allocating it to one subject reduces the amount available for others. The opportunity cost could be weaker performance in the subjects that receive less revision, affecting overall exam results.

[Abdur Rehman khan]

[KN] Time is a scarce resource because it is limited and cannot be increased or stopped.
[APP] For example, a student may only have 10 hours to revise but needs to prepare for three subjects.
[AN] This means he may not cover all topics or subjects in detail, leaving some areas unprepared which can lead to a bad performance.

[Arham Qadri]

[KN] Because the students have to revise many chapters/topics in a given time
[APP] For example a student has 2 days to study 7 subjects when studying these many subjects in a given time it will make them frustrated, leave out many topics and will shatter the confidence of a student
[AN] Hence as a result the student will get poor grade in their exam and will not want to study for future exam because of his disappointment

[M huzaifa jillani]

(KN)
Time is scarce because everyone has only 24 hours in a day , so it cannot be increased.
(APP)
For a student revising for exams , there are many subjects to study but only a few weeks or days before the test.
(AN)
This means the student must choose which topics to spend more time on, and may not be able to cover everything fully. That is why time is scarce resource.

[amaimatif]

Time is a scarce resource for students because it is limited and cannot be extended. For example, if a student has 10 hours to revise for three subjects, they cannot give equal full attention to all. They must therefore choose how to allocate their time wisely.

[Haiderabbas]

KN: Timee is scarce for a student revising because their are many subjects to cover and only a fixed number of hours.
APP: for e.g. A student might have to study 4 subjects in two hours before his exam or he will fail.
AN: Students must prioritise topics with highest exam value, so planning is essential along with time allocation.

[SofiaRazaKhan]

[KN] Time is scarce for a student because they have limited hours each day to balance revision, rest, and other activities.
APP]a student might spend most of the day at school and have only a few hours in the evening to revise for upcoming tests in different subjects.
[AN] This forces them to prioritize key subjects (1) or topics and create a revision timetable to make the best use of their limited time. Effective time management helps them cover more material (2) and perform better in exams in terms of getting good grades (3).
