GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WRITING AN EXAM

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR WRITING AN EXAM

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS :

Cracking an examination is a skill that can be acquired. Along with studying, scoring good marks too is a combination of managing one’s time well and applying the right method. Here are some guidelines that one can follow while attempting or writing an exam.

 Answer the question as it is asked.

Read the question at least twice before answering. Make sure you have tackled all sub-sections of a question. 

 Use the marks as a guide.

The examination paper mentions the marks each question carries. Use these marks as a rough guide as to how long their answers ought to be. Do not expand an answer irrelevantly. This will save a lot of time which can be used while writing a long-answer question. 

 Avoid writing irrelevant points.

While writing an answer, focus on the nature of the question asked to maintain focus. Answering something that is irrelevant to the question, no matter how good description will not only waste time but also be given low marks.

 Budget your time.

Don’t dwell too much on the particular question as the remaining question may get little or no time. Despite how much one writes, one can only score the maximum marks allocated to that question. If facing difficulty in answering, move on to other question and return to the former later. 

 Check and double-check.

Always keep some time for revision while budgeting time. In the rush to complete the paper, some basic spelling mistakes or forgotten, half-attempted question may spoil all efforts. 

 Believe in yourself. Set a goal for yourself.

 Accordingly set a time table for yourself.

 Identify a limited number of direct questions which usually come in the exams & prepare them well.

Apply FRT(fast reading technique) i.e.to revise more in less time.

 Presentation: Be particular about how you write the answers. It should always contain a heading and brief explanation. 

 Do not leave out any questions.

 Also, be careful not to spend too much time on1question at the cost of other questions.

 Wherever any process is asked to be explained, write all the steps involved, irrespective of the marks allotted to that question.

 Draw a flow chart/diagram in support of your answer, whenever possible.

 Answer those questions first, which you know very well.

 Underline all the sub-headings.

 Draw small cartoons/diagrams with small captions wherever fits suitable.

 Attempt ‘HOTS’ question at last.

 Utilize the question paper reading time to plan writing strategies instead of trying to write answers in advance.

While trying to understand ‘HOTS’ question keeps in mind chapter-wise allotment of marks for each chapter. Sometimes this helps to guess the chapter from which the hots question is given.

 Especially in case of application-oriented questions (HOTS), read Hindi medium version also,  it may give you some clue. It also removes the vagueness in the English language.

 Maintain a separate small hand-book to write only sub-headings for all the concepts in the subject. It helps as a ready-reckoner.

 Read summaries given at the end of each chapter to get a comprehensive idea about the given chapter. Hots can be given from summaries also.

  Refer to the latest CBSE sample question papers along with previous year board question papers. Refer ‘high scoring students’answer sheets available on the CBSE website.

Wish you all the best!

Conduct of Boards examination is a policy matter which is decided by the Competent Authority only in the interest of CBSE Schools' students of Class X and XII. However appropriate precautions are taken at the examination center to avoid undesirable infection.

STUDENT'S REACTION!!!!!

After this recent announcement, some students are happy but many of them are sad. While talking to them, one student said that "Now we have to wait a little more for their holidays....and have to bear the exam stress still longer"

But overall we should happily accept this decision as it has been taken only for the well-being of our students...concerning about their health.
