ok people .post ur tips for best performance in exams !
POOJA,
BEST TIP IS
1. study well
:lol:
1) Don't answer in numerical order instead answer the once you know best (First impression best impression)
2) At the end even if you don't know stop as if you ran out of time though you don't know anything about the answers.
3) Finish shorter questions first, then go for the big ones.
4) Fill as much papers as you can, use large letters and more space between lines (don't over do it)
5) If you have some good points but not much to fill for marks (essays) give all the points in the first para and then go to explain it one by one. You can fill the explanation with bull shit. Anyway no one reads it.
Evaluators after reading a couple of pages make an impression of you. If its good then they become liberal with marks. Also once they grow the impression that this is serious student then they don't "waste" time reading the whole stuff. But never right anything totally unrelated like movie stories as they are ok with ignorance but not cheats. I am sure you have heard about the essay on cow.
Pooja, u cud fortunately make an excellent impression w/ ur handwriting itself.....girls r known to be very neat & meticulous in their handwriting so tat itself cud help make an impression on the examiner, esp. if, as Sandeep suggets, u fill up the explanations w/ bull****! :D
But all the same, don't try to make it too artful/frilly....!
Handling multiple choice questions
1) First remove choices that are no way right (usually 1 or 2 are total blunders)
2) Compare the remaining for differences and you may find week ones.
Eg: What is normal human body temp?
1) +84.5 degree Celsius
2) +84.5 degree fahrenheit
3) -84.5 degree Celsius
4) +32 degree fahrenheit
Assuming you don't know.
Step 1 : Removal
Remove 3 as body temp being -ve is foolish
Remove 1 as at 84.5 Celsius blood should be near boiling (everyone knows water boils are 100 Celsius)
Step 2 : Comparison
You are left with
2) +84.5 degree fahrenheit
4) +32 degree fahrenheit
but in the total 4 choices 3 where 84.5 as against only one with 32, so I think it should be 84.5
And so answer is 2) 84.5 degree fahrenheit.
Always remember the Questionnaire and the Evaluators don't purposefully do anything to fail you.
Exam Tips- :?
I used to study the day before exam during my college days so dont do that :mrgreen:
Stop hubbing frequently for somedays.Only brainy personalities like Shakthi can balance Hubbing and Exams! :roll:
Eat and sleep well :D
Keep yourself cool and calm.Study more smartly than studying everything,take last 10 years question paper or so and read the answers for those questions.If you are in Stateboard +2 no issues those will be the questions repeated!
......Finally dont listen to advices! Whatever strikes your mind Just do it! :wink:
I violate them all :smile:Quote:

Be organised. Decide on a time table and stick to it
Take breaks, our concentration span is only so much! Take a walk and get some fresh air or listen to music.
On the day of the exam, don't try to cram in too much! Be relaxed and try to go through the points in the head rather than trying to read more and more.
Write clearly and stick to the point. Use different colour pens/pencils to underline points that you think are important. Do your diagrams clearly and mark whatever is important.
Spend the first five minutes to patiently go through the question paper and decide the ones that are easier for you. Answer them first clearly and to the point and then tackle the ones that are more difficult later.
Do not hand over the paper as soon as you have finished and walk out, instead check your question paper again to see if you have missed anything, and your answer paper to check for spelling mistakes or simple points that can be added.
Once you have finished one exam then don't worry about how well you have done it, instead start preparing for your next exam. No amount of worrying about an exam that is over is going to help!
Hope this helps :)
Adding to what Anu said,Dont ever discuss the question paper after your exams!
Arthas,
Take a glass scale,Scratch all the measurements.Enter the data with a pencil.When you keep it in the white paper you can see the answers.Very safe and secured bit ;) But dont practise it!
HEy i found this tECHNIQUE V.V.V. USEFUL TO SCORE for essay type answers.
1. WRITE IN POINTS
2. write in paragraphs
3. underline important points
Thse 3 would surely help u get more marks.
Wrong forum I guess........ :roll:Quote:

Study in the method that best suits you... I used to take a break every 1/2 hr or so when I read... Don't read hard... read smart...;)
Take a break from all reading stuffs atleast 2-3 days b'fore the exam & try to recollect those U've read so far... refer the book if need be to clarify things that U feel is confusing... on the evening before the exam or early in the morning on the day of the exam, just browse thru' the book or those U feel is tough for U... On the day of the exam, leave all ur books home & go happily to the exam centre... Chat happily with ur friends until U get into the exam hall(This might irritate some last minute readers around U... So be sensible in doing this else U'll earn lots of enemity as I did...It is funny that some ppl do think that it's a sin to be calm & cool on the day of the exam...:roll: :lol: )
Be confident & don't panic even if U find the ques to be tough... Start answering those U r confident about & then the tougher ones or however U prefer... Don't try to calculate ur score even when U r writing the exams... Do not leave any que unaswered...write whatever U know... If U need to guess any answer, guess smartly(Sandeep's tip)... Give ur best shot & get back home... Do not discuss the answers after the exam as this might spoil ur mood & make it difficult to concentrate for the next exam... Once U get back home, eat well & have a good sleep... Now forget abt the exam that's already over & concentrate on the next...
Believe in urself & be cool... U r sure to succeed... :thumbsup:
Exams, whether termly or yearly, are based on all materials covered in syllabus for the respective period and one question at least is expected from each section. Examiners want to test your knowledge and understanding of the materials. To show that in an exam when under time constraints and pressure, there are step by step preparation for the exam:
1. Revise all notes - materials for the period the exam will cover;
2. Try to have an overall good understanding of the material;
3. Put the material into context - i.e. formulate questions that cover the materials;
NB. More than likely, the examiner setting the questions, would come up with similar questions formulated by you, though in different wording, but the answer the examiner is after, is the same with respect to content and of course lay out
in your response to show that you understand the question (this approach is more prevalent in essay type questions).
4. You can take little cards and make headings and sub-headings in each area of exam and then make brief notes that will trigger your memory. For one subject, you can do brief notes on one page - a very condensed summary about a day or two before the exam. If there is anything unclear, you have time to go back to main notes and fill the gaps. This one page summary will only be effective if you know your material well.
5. If it is an essay, structure your answer in such a way that it leaves no gaps (every part of the question must be addressed). For example, why do you think the Indian government ought to allow Indian citizenship to all people of Indian origin?
Structure for answer:
a. Who is the Indian Government;
b. What is Indian Citizenship;
c. Who are people of Indian origin;
d. What mandate is the Indian Government following in reaching its decision and to act out of obligation
e. The objective of the mandate
f. Is the mandate consistent with the objective?
g. Would the objective be met while being consistent with the mandate by allowing Indian citizenship to all people of Indian origin;
h. If not why not or if yes why yes
i) Based on a-h, you can then give your opinion as to why you think the Indian government should or should not allow Indian Citizenship to all people of Indian origin
j) In the analysis, you will find problems and solutions must be thought of in making recommnedations. Even the recommendations might have implications. Point that out. If they the recommendations were already implemented, discuss briefly how it has been working so far, any potential problems) and further solution(s).
NB.1. In structuring your answer as set out above, you are answering the what, when, who, why and how sub-questions relating to the main question. So in the end, you actually answer the question without going astray.
NB.2. In essays, the structure of your answer is laying the foundation for it and there is no right or wrong answer, once you show your understanding of the question, the issues involved and you discuss them with supportive information (facts, data etc), your answer/conclusion/opinion should be deduced from that
6 If its a problem question, identify and discuss the issues and provide the best solutions based on what the problem is, the issues and how they were discussed - how the issues can be resolved within recognized boundaries - that could be wihin legal boundaries too.
NB.1. In both essay and problem type questions, you have to be analytical or evaluative and from above you can see that will start between points "f" to "h" i.e. after being very descriptive.
NB.2 Your answer in essay should be well balanced i.e. depending on how many words you are limited to, apportion 1/4 in the descriptive part, 1/2 in the analytical part and 1/4 in your answer/conclusion/opinion. The number of points you discussed, should be reflective of this balance.
7. If it is multiple choice, Sandeep has already discussed the elimination process.
8. Before starting any question, spend a few minutes going through the paper, see how it covers the syllabus and select the questions you are best prepared for (that is if you are given choices) and do sketch answers before diving into giving answers. You may find that one question directly relates to another that you have prepared for, you may want to do them both provided you don't choose more than you need to from any particular section.
9. Leave difficult ones for last and in the process of doing the easier ones, answers to the difficult ones would flow.
10. Don't over-spend time on a question - time which should be spent on another question. If you are really prepared, that shouldn't happen. If time is up for that question or section, move on to the next, unless it is the last question or section.
Best of Luck :D

...
u can ask great ...he ll tell u ..how much nervous i am about my math and accounts ..
i got the the right tutors at teh right time .
who would have imagined ..me ....to say ..maths and accounts are my strongest subjects now !
business and economics are okay ..coz i jsut have to read once....
thats my plus point ..i have a good memory ..
but math and accounts is not like tht ..
i was really bad at it ..and i knew all along it i s just because i had never given my time to these....
last yr i was the topper ..how come suddenly in 12th ..i go down ?.... i knew it's just because i had my fun and enjoyment in the most important year of my schoollife ...
and i realize this after mock examinations 2 ...( in jan)
its too late. ...to realize such things isnt it
but ...its better late than never ..
i got two great teachers ,,,,
i did practice papers every day ...starting from a 55 out of 100 to a 98 on 100 ..in yesterdays test ..
in accounts ...i wasnt soo bad... we write it out of 80 .i was in teh 60s range ..
yesterday ..i made it to 80 on 80. ..now that is something ....i really need ..
but wat i am worried about is that. ..people now started thinkin ...okay pooja has gone down ..she s not the way she was in 11th and when the results come they will be expecting other people to top .....
preparation and performance is in my hand and i ll do my part well .
may be i can take them by a surprise ....

Accounts is really interesting- I was even obsessed with it! Tallying is a knack- You can work on the formulas in Maths- what else matters?
Another thing: Instead of answering according to the serial order, it would be better if you answered the ones you know the best first, to leave a good impression.
Time yourself. Its not enough if you know it all- you should answer it all & for this time is the key factor.
Best of Luck dear!
I'm sure you'll come out in flying colours!
:D
Bless u, dear! :DQuote:

Pooja,
Bit Adi!! :lol:
Just Joking. I've never done that BTW! :P
Here's a thing
I hate it when people say before a test when they see someone cramming
"If you don't know it now, you won't know it exam time, it's no use"
No use my foot...Of course...people underestimate the magic of cramming...Ok, that's all I want to say...
It's good to study ahead of time for an exam...but sometimes cramming for certain ones can guarantee success too :wink:
Wise Words!! :P 8-)Quote:

I was really nervous as I hadn't expected to be asked abt these.....thot I only had to drive the vehicle in front of the inspector, tats it!
But luckily on tat day I had to wait for a good 1/2 hr til my name was cald, so I manged to learn them well enuff & answer correctly! :)
