a) READ the Entire Question paper without thinking what you know and what you don’t.
b) In theory papers Start with the question you know best follow it what you know second best and so on.
c) Now comes the tricky part. NEVER EVER start ANSWERING YOUR Question Paper with a Practical Question. Because no wonder how well you are prepared, the tension level starts shooting up once you enter the Examination hall and doesn’t come down till at least half an hour elapses after getting the question paper. If you take up a practical question at that time you are bound to make mistake as the mind is tense and it would require a lot of calculations. If you are tripped in first question you get more nervous and your thinking is clouded leading to mistakes and valuable time is lost forcing you to hurry and make more mistakes. In the end the paper is either not solved fully and especially the theory questions in the practical paper get the sketchy treatment resulting in poor marks. So if you start with a theoryQuestion, You give your full attention to it writing it properly and writing for around half hours will calm your nerves and your theory portion shall be finished satisfactorily, and then you can take up the practical question you know the best and follow it with second best and so on. Once your mind has calmed down you can attempt the rest of the paper in an objective way. Simple!!!!
Don’t forget the first point ie reading without thinking what you know. Reading neutrally will take the question (input) to back memory (Hard disk) of your mind and the answer (output) will come when you are ready to take up your first practical question. It takes a bit of time and a relaxed state of mind to retrieve info that is there and needed to solve the practical question. Theory question don’t need much application of mind and there is no fear of being right or wrong.
