This is also the time to make sure you have established a thesis and have kept your focus on that throughout your paper.

Keep your Eyes on your own Paper

It doesn't make a difference what the person next to you writes down for his answer. This is your race to run.

It's your answer to create. How your paper compares to someone else's is not the point. The point is to fill the paper with your work.
