JNTU examiner views and some tips on how to write
Hello students,
I know that many of you have got exam jitters, hope these tips will help you..
It is very easy to get good marks in jntu exams, only when you know how..
Firstly, Don't think that you can pass the exams by repeating
the question papers or filling the additional with some idiotic stuff..
It is wrong.. please leave this misconception, It wont take you
anywhere..
Impress the examiner with your handwriting (It is not mandatory to have a
beautiful handwriting, but at least have a hand writing that everyone
understands),
Next, show him that you have got some interest in giving the exam and
that you have stuff in your brain by writing stuff from textbooks.. Dont
write your exams for the sake of anyone, write them to prove your
capability..
Never follow All in one answers, examiners have enough brains to find
out where your answers come from.. so, at least try to draw diagrams and
tabular columns from textbooks..
Use all in one when you wont find the topics in textbook, try to find
out answers to all the questions in all in one from text books.., there
is no guarantee for all in one answers , follow it at your own risk..
Use colour pens (no red, no green dude!!) to make your paper more
attractive.. Don't overdo it so that it becomes a greeting card
instead of exam paper!!
Concentrate on the chapters that are easy for you, but if you have not
studied anything till today, then try learning the units with less
content.. I mean units with less topics..
*** Important point..
Almost all examiners come to evaluate scripts for the sake of money,
they get 12/- per script, each bundle contains 40 scripts, so
examiner's concentration is to complete the bundles in the
minimum possible time, your answer script is glanced hardly for a
minute, so draw his attention towards the related equations, related
diagrams and related side headings by using colours or putting them in a
box..
*If you are asked to solve a problem and you have got no idea about it,
then at least write the given data, you might be lucky enough to get two
marks..
*Revision is very important.. don't forget to revise everything
you read, if not everything then at least the diagrams and equations..
* never leave any question, you are asked to write five questions try to
write five, If you know only three answers then try to write stuff
related to the asked question for the remaining two answers.. In this
case, If you write the first three answers from text book, there are
more chances of getting good marks as the examiner will be in an
impression that you are intelligent, thats the reason I asked you
earlier to read from textbooks..
**Do you find it difficult to revise for exams when you have so many
subjects and things to remember? If the answer is yes, then
you're not alone!
These tips should help.
1. Find out the exact dates of your exams. You will know how much time
you have left before each exam. It might help to draw up a table which
includes all your subjects and all the weeks you have until the last
exam, and then fill in the exam dates.
2. Prioritise your subjects. If you think you have most to do in
networks that is your weakest subject then this will be top priority.
Put all your subjects in an order from most to least important.
3. Decide on a revision plan which will work for you. How many hours do
you need to do of a night? Do you have other commitments you
can't get out of? Leave some time for breaks,meals and free
time but ensure you have a good time slot each night for revision.
4. Fill in your revision timetable in with your subjects, and use your
priority list to give the most important ones more revision time.
5. Stick to this timetable! speaking from experience, if you decide to
focus solely on one or two subjects because you think you know the
others, you will get a nasty shock. Don't ignore any of the
subjects, but ensure you have a balance where your priority subjects
have the lead.
6. Begin by revising all the material which you don't know as
well. There is no point in beginning to revise the transistors in
electonics if you are pretty confident in it. You may find that also
prioritising each individual subjects modules or topics helps you.
Therefore if you run out of time you will know that you have definitely
revised the hardest stuff!
7. Actually attempt to remember the material. It sounds stupid but most
of the time people are tempted to spend all their revision time just
reading or writing and assume that they know it all. Never assume; If
you assume you know it without actually testing yourself on it then you
might get a shock in the exam...
Never give up - easier said than done.. right, but giving up only makes
you more of a failure when you don't get the marks you wanted
for your exam. You will
always have the guilt of knowing you didn't try your hardest.
Everyone learns differently; you just have to discover how is the best
way for you. But in the end it all comes down to testing yourself, so
you can be sure you know it!
You may not achieve the marks you expected. Know in yourself what you
are capable of achieving so you don't set your targets too
high. Don't settle for lower marks than your ability either
though, just know your ability and do your best.
• Revision isn't fun - receiving your pass result is.
• Never compare yourself to your friends. They are not you. we are all different. Just do your best and be happy with that.
