ALL THE BEST
TIPS TO SCORE WELL IN VTU EXTERNAL EXAMS
BY
1. TIME MANAGEMENT : THERE WILL BE 5 UNITS/MODULES TO ATTEMPT, SO GIVE 30MINS TIME LIMIT TO EACH MODULE. AND YOU WILL BE LEFT WITH 30 MINS AT THE END, WHICH YOU CAN USE EITHER TO CHECK OR WRITE ANSWERS TO UNKNOWN QUESTIONS.
2. FIRST IMPRESSION : ITS ALWAYS IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION FROM THE INVIGILATOR WHO WILL CORRECT YOUR PAPER, THEREFORE MAKE SURE YOU WRITE THE UNIT/MODULE YOU ARE MOST GOOD AT IN THE BEGINNING.
3. HIGHLIGHT : IN VTU AS YOU ALL KNOW CORRECTION WILL TAKE PLACE ONLINE IN SELECTED COLLEGES, THE INVIGILATOR GETS A SCANNED COPY OF YOUR ANSWER SHEETS, SO AT AN AVERAGE IT IS SAID THAT AN INVIGILATOR TAKES ONLY 3-5 MINS TO CORRECT AN ANSWER BOOKLET. THEREFORE WHEN YOU WRITE ANSWER, ALWAYS UNDERLINE THE IMPORTANT/KEY WORDS IN YOUR ANSWER.
4. HANDWRITING: ALRIGHT, YOU HAD MARKS FOR HANDWRITING IN SCHOOL, BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT SOME LECTURERS GIVE MORE MARKS FOR AN ANSWER THAT IS WRITTEN NEATLY AND IN A GOOD HANDWRITING THEN THE ONES THAT ARE OF THE SAME CONTENT BUT SHABBY.
5. PRESENTATION: THE WAY YOU PRESENT YOUR ANSWERS ALSO MATTER, MAKE SUBHEADINGS IN EACH OF YOUR ANSWERS AND TRY YOUR BEST TO ADD FIGURES WHEREVER AND WHENEVER NECESSARY. FIGURES CARRY A LOT MORE WEIGHTAGE THEN THE WRITING.
6. NEVER LEAVE QUESTIONS BLANK: COME ON ! THERE IS NO NEGATIVE MARKS, SO NEVER LEAVE ANY QUESTIONS BLANK, YOU CAN WRITE ANSWERS TO THESE IN THE LAST 30 MINS THAT I TOLD YOU TO SPARE.
7. DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED: IF YOU COULD NOT DO A SUBJECT WELL, DON'T BE DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE IT WILL ONLY RUIN YOU EXAMS TO COME. STAY COOL, YOU HAVE DONE YOUR PART!
8. TO-REMEMBER LIST: HAVE A TO REMEMBER LIST FROM ALL THE UNITS/MODULES YOU STUDIED, USE THIS TO REVISE BEFORE YOU ENTER THE EXAMINATION HALL.
9. MORE PAGES MORE MARK: THIS MIGHT NOT ALWAYS WORK, BUT IT WILL WORK IF THE SUBJECT IS ONLY THEORY, SO MAKE SURE YOUR ANSWERS ARE BIG. IMAGINE YOU WROTE 35 PAGES, ONE MARK FOR EACH PAGE WILL GIVE YOU THE PASSING MARKS.
10. STUDY THE REPEATED QUESTIONS: STUDY REPEATED QUESTIONS FROM THE QUESTION PAPERS, MORE THEN 50%-80% OR EVEN 100% OF THE QUESTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN ASKED IN THE PREVIOUS EXAMS. SOME STUDENTS ONLY STUDY THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS AND MANAGE TO GET 60 AND ABOVE. BUT THIS MIGHT NOT ALWAYS BE THE CASE, ONCE IN A WHILE SOME QUESTION PAPERS WILL BE TOTALLY OUT OF THE WORLD WHICH MOST OF YOU WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED AT-LEAST ONCE. YEAH MEMORIES !
11. PROBLEM: DON'T KNOW A PROBLEM? FIRST WRITE DOWN ALL THE DATA GIVEN IN THE QUESTIONS AND WRITE ALL THE EQUATIONS YOU KNOW FROM THAT UNIT. DO SOME MATHS AND WRITE DOWN SOME ANSWERS, YOU WILL PROBABLY GET 2 OR 3 MARKS INSTEAD OF 0. BETTER RIGHT!
12. EAT LIGHT: DON'T HAVE AN HEAVY MEAL BEFORE YOU WRITE YOUR EXAMS, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS IN THE AFTERNOON, BECAUSE DIGESTION REQUIRES ENERGY AND DECREASES THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY SUPPLIED TO THE BRAIN. DO SOME WALKING AROUND OR LITTLE EXERCISES TO GET YOU BRAIN IN THE ACTIVE REGION!
13. LAST 5 MINS: IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT STUDY IN THE LAST MOMENT JUST AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO ENTER THE EXAMINATION HALL. BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES CAUSES YOU TO FORGET AND LOOSE CONFIDENCE AND YOU START TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR MEMORY IS FADING AWAY.
THAT IS ALL I COULD THINK OF AS OF NOW. WILL ADD MORE IN THE COMING DAYS. ALL THE BEST TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE HAVING EXAMS TOMORROW (INCLUDING MYSELF ☔).
