What to do in the examination hall?
1. Read carefully: Always read the
instructions given on the front page carefully and also read and understand the
directions given to attempt a question. This way you can avoid any mistakes due
to overconfidence.
2. Solve the easy question first: Easy
questions in general saves a lot of time. So go for them first, and then try
the next level.
3. Sometimes striking off the wrong options
can give you the right options: Don't always search the right answer. When
you strike off all the wrong options with surety then you get the rest as the
right answer(s). This practice also helps you to avoid answering the first
right option whereas the right option should be all of the above.
4. Don't waste excessive time on one
question: If in any case you are unable to answer any question, dont
give much time to that instead try next question.
5. Try to attempt the leftover
questions: If you get time, try the unattempted questions if any from the
begining.
6. Keep a time check: Save time to check
or revise your answers at the end.
7. Use Scribble pad: Use it for your
rough work and noting down any points to answer a question.
8. Use virtual numerical keypad: In
answering numerical answer type question, use virtual numerical keypad.
