Examination Tips

The exam fever is here and as always, everyone wants to do well. Here are some ways to achieve your aim.

  • Aim for a 100%. Don't leave out anything thinking it to be unimportant. Assimilate everything thoroughly to ensure that you at least get close to your goal.
  • Practice Papers are extremely important as well. You can study as well you want to, but it is very much necessary to practice solving other question papers (on the same topics) to get the feel of the type of questions.
  • In case you find something difficult to remember, don't waste your time trying to learn it by heart time and again. Instead, writing it down a couple of times with concentration would leave an impression in your mind.
  • You might have the urge to study late during the examination times. But make sure you don't do it on the night before the exam. Sleep early and have a full breakfast in the next morning.
  • Don't grab your pen and start writing your exam as soon as you get the question paper. Go through the entire paper and write the answers to the questions you know the best. This ensures that you don't forget the ones you know and you don't waste your time on the ones you don't know. You can always solve the doubtful ones at the end.
  • In case you don't know the answer to a question, don't omit it. Write down something which is related to the question. You might end up getting a couple of extra marks.
  • Even if you've completed your paper, don't hand it in early. Use the stipulated time to read through the answers you've written. Remember, you can't get back to the paper once you've submitted it.
It's natural for everybody to get stressed up and worried during the exam time. But don't worry, there's gonna be a lot of joy around if you do well. Good luck!
