Avoid !! Blunders which reduce marks



Many of you would be wondering that in spite of attempting all the answers or answering correctly, why you could not clear the exam. Sometime, it is hard to believe that it was just because you made some silly mistakes. Yes, Silly mistakes which turned into BLUNDER! But don’t bother now you can just avoid them by going through the tips given below:

1: CHOOSE CORRECTLY THE QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED.

ANY EXTRA QUESTION ATTEMPTED SHALL BE IGNORED and the EXTRA ATTEMPTED ANSWER IS THE ANSWER WRITTEN IN LAST WITH ALL PARTS.

Please Note Any part of Question 1 shall not be considered as Extra attempted as its Compulsory Question.

2: CHOOSE WELL BETWEEN INTERNAL CHOICE

If a question is having internal choice, ALWAYS attempt only which you know well, if you  answer all the choices, the answer attempted first shall be evaluated ONLY.

Say Q.2 has 5 parts out of which 4 had to be answered. Mr A attempted parts (b), (d), (c), (e) and (a) and he got marks 4,3,0,3 and 4 respectively. In this case part 2(a) shall be ignored as attempted at last. So loss of 4 marks.

3: REMEMBER THUMB RULE,“NEW ANSWER, NEW PAGE”.

Do write answer no. clearly.

Also try to (INFACT MUST) write all the parts of any answers together. Leave few lines in-between two parts of same answer.

DON’T BOTHER EXAMINER, only you will suffer!!

4: USE THREAD RATHER THAN STAPLER.

Sometime small stapler pins are not sufficient to tie your copies together for longer period with rough handling.

REMEMBER your copy moves to many hands before you get the result, so I guess you would like to get marks for all the answers attempted!

5: AVOID TYING GRAPH AT LAST.

SECURE YOUR 6 MARKS just by tying the graph in-between answer sheet RATHER THAN TIEING IT AT THE LAST which may cause misplacement.
