How can I write a good commentary on a text in limited time?

First of all, it is important to learn how to write a structured answer in a way that can be applied to multiple cases. For an essay or short commentary text, the structure that you should use is very similar and it is something that can be learned and properly integrated. This will save you a lot of time while composing your answers during the exam, and it will allow you to properly focus on the subject or text in question. If you waste time during the exam wondering what to put in your introduction and conclusion, and how to present your arguments, you will have trouble with time management. By the time of the exam, you should have learned how to write a proper introduction and conclusion, and be able to adapt them to each type of answer. You should have also revised and understood how to properly create your paragraphs and how to separate different arguments in different paragraphs, in order to show that your answer has a clear flow that the examiner can easily follow.In addition, to save time while writing a commentary on a text, make sure that you begin by writing down a very brief plan draft right after reading the text twice. By doing that, you can start writing your essay without having to stop and wonder what order to present your arguments in. Taking some time to write a set plan that you can follow while answering will really help you save time, as you won't have to pause and think repeatedly while you're answering the question. It will also help you stay in subject, without getting distracted and writing about things that are not relevant to the question.
