Lifehacker has an interesting article on how to sit a final exam. I would add two points:
1) Don’t drink too much (if any) coffee (or any other quantity of liquid) prior to the exam. One you buzz out and two you generally find that twenty minutes in you’re looking toward the exit door and in the invigilators direction…
2) Extending the manage your time point – Make sure you allocate marks to time, either before the exam starts, or during reading time – and don’t go over! Nothing worse than getting to five minutes to go and you havent looked at that last question. More importantly, move on even if you havent quite nailed the question…there is usually a law of diminishing returns with marks to questions.
