12 Explain reasons why 'time' is a scarce resource for a student revising for exams.
Hint: KN: Time is finite > APP: A student has 10 hours to study 3 subjects > AN: They must choose how to allocate their time.

Sample Answer- 3 Marker
[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).

[hassanalizafar]

[KN]Time is a scarce resource because there is a limited number of hours in a day compared to the many subjects and topics a student must cover.
[AAP]For example, an A Level student may only have 2 weeks left before exams.
[AN]This means they must prioritise key subjects ,which leads to some topics being left out ,which may reduce confidence in certain exam questions.Overall, time scarcity forces the student to make trade-offs, and poor allocation could negatively affect exam performance.

[Muaz Aamir]

KN: Time is scarce because there is less of it available than the amount of work a student wants to do.

AP: For example, a student may have to revise five subjects but only has a few weeks.

AN: This means they cannot give equal attention to every subject.

AN+: As a result, they must prioritise certain topics, some areas may be left out, and performance in weaker subjects might suffer.

[Uqbah hadeed kayani]

[kn] time is finite and the student has to do more work in less time [app] for example a student may have to study all of his subjects but has barely a few days before his finals [an] this makes the student allocate time to each subject allowing him to finish his work easily and manage a good grade in each subject

[Abdullah Mohsin]

[KN]The student has to revise many chapters in limited time
[APP]For instance, a student has a few days to revise 5 subjects for an up-coming exam. Having limited time makes them frusterated, forcing them to leave out/spend less time revising some subjects, reducing the overall confidence of the student.
[AN]Poor preperation effects the overall grade they score, making them feel disapointed and reducing their motivation to study for other exams.

[shamaim shakeel]

KN] A student has to revise a lot of topics within a short amount of time, which makes time a scarce resource.

[APP] For example, if a student has only a few days to cover several subjects before exams, they may not be able to revise all topics properly. This might force them to skip some areas or rush through revision.

[AN] As a result, the student may go into the exam less prepared, which could lower their marks and affect their confidence for future exams.

[Shaliza khawaja]

(KN)As time is a scarce resource managing it well would help as once ,gone, cannot be brought back
(APP)eg if a student has a math exam in 1 hours they cannot revise all the formulas in 1 hours and understand how to solve the question,
(AN)eventually leading to bad performance in the paper however this would not have happened if the student had managed there time a week before the paper making them have less stress and better performance in the paper

[Aarib Saad]

(KN)Because the student only has time till the day of the exam to prepare for it.
(APP)For instance, if a student has his IGCSE exams in October and it is currently January then the student only has 9 months to prepare for all of his subjects.
(AN)Thus, this will make it so the student will be stressed, making it she/she will have lesser time for other things, worsening his/her standards of living.

[Subhan Zafar]

{KN}Time is scarce resource bcz there are limited no of hours in a day and that student should use to fulfill the requirement of each subjects.
{APP}For example a student should at least have studied 3 weeks before exams so they have enough time to revise.
{AN}This benefits student as they can see which chapter revise revision and which subject requires more time.

[Abdul Hadi]

KN: Time is scarce because completion of different activities depend on it.
APP: For Example, a student may need to balance revision with school, part-time work, or extra curricular activities.
AN: This can lead to stress from managing multiple responsibilities, reduced revision quality, and lower exam performance if time is not provided effectively.

[Wahaj Ashraf]

[KN]A time is a scarce resource cause it is limited in supply for the student preparing for exams.
[APP]e.g. If a student has to go to school do homework and their other stuff to do thus because of this the student may not have enough time to prepare for its exams forcing the student to skip come chapters
[AN+] As a result the student may not be prepared enough to give the exams which may cause them to gain less marks in the exam

[Hajra]

[Kn] Time is a scarce resource because it is limited and cannot be increased. [Ap] For a student revising for exams, there are only a set number of hours in a day. [an] This makes time scarce as the student must choose between different activities like revising, resting, or socializing, meaning not all wants can be satisfied.

[areeshasaber]

[kn] Time is a finite resource, so it is limited for everyone.
[app] For instance, A student has 10 hours to revise for 3 subjects before exams.
[an+] They must decide how to allocate their time between subjects, prioritizing the ones they find hardest or that carry more marks, showing how time scarcity forces choices in revision.

[Abdullah Altaf]

[KN] Time is scarce due to the fixed 24 hours, forcing prioritization and difficult choices, leading to stress.
[APP] A student facing exams in a month, needing to cover four subjects, faces a stressful environment due to the volume of material and limited time.
[AN] This scarcity and pressure can result in headaches, health problems, and a decline in motivation, impacting exam preparation.

[Areeba Arshad]

[KN] Time is a scarce resource because it is finite and can not be increased.
[APP] For example, a student may only have 10 hours to revise but needs to prepare for 3 different subjects.
[AN] This creates scarcity because the student must decide how to divide their limited hours between subjects. Focusing more on one subject means sacrificing time on another, and this choice will directly affect how well they perform in each exam.
