Tips For Attempting A Good Paper

Assalam o Alaikum guys, now I am gonna give you some tips on how to attempt a paper to get good marks. Following essentials should be kept in mind if you want to get good marks. Learning is your duty. If you do not study, there is no way these steps are going to work.

Preliminary

These are the necessary tasks that should be completed by you before going to examination hall:

• Always keep all the necessary items with you i.e. pen, marker, scale, pointer etc.
• It is recommended to keep more than one pens and markers each. So that if you run out of ink or nib of the pen breaks or your marker is lost, you can easily continue your work with the other. It will save time and you will not have to ask someone else for help.
• Don't forget the wristwatch. In some examination centers, there is no clock which makes it difficult for you to manage questions according to time.
• Reach the examination hall before time so you will not have to face any problem.

In Examination Hall

Now, you have entered the examination hall. Follow these steps:

• Do not tell anyone that you are well prepared for the exams. If you do this, the students around you may become a problem for you. They may ask you to show them the answers or in worst case, may even try to snatch your paper to see the answers. So, it is good that you do not tell them about your good preparation.
• Check your seat that there is no crumpled note near it. If there is any, get rid of it because if you do not remove from near your seat, the attendant may think that you have written the answers on it and it can result in a cheating case.

M.C.Q.s

Soon, you will receive your answer sheet along with the M.C.Q.s paper. The answer to each M.C.Q. is to be provided on the bubble sheet attached to the back of your answer sheet. Following is the image of a bubble sheet:

1. First of all, look for the paper code written on the top of your M.C.Q. paper. Write that code in the boxes given on the right side of bubble sheet with the heading Paper Code. In addition to it, fill bubble below each box with the same digit as written in the box. Also, complete the particulars given on the answer copy.
2. Now, read the M.C.Q. paper thoroughly. 
3. Do not write anything on the M.C.Q. paper. If any M.C.Q. is difficult to answer without rough work, do it on the last page of the answer copy but do not write anything on the M.C.Q. paper.
4. You do not need to mark the answers on the M.C.Q. paper. You will have to fill the bubbles on the bubble sheet. On the bubble sheet, look for the M.C.Q. number you want to answer, then, look for the option that is correct according to you and fill that bubble.
5. First answer those M.C.Q.s, the answers of which are the most obvious to you.
6. Be careful with the option numbers. Check that number at least twice before filling bubble on the bubble sheet.
7. Leave the difficult questions to answer in the end. It will give you time for thinking about the answer without wasting the time of the other M.C.Q.s
8. If you are stuck on an M.C.Q., look for the option that you think is wrong. Now, do not consider it and focus on the ones that are left. Repeat this process, until you get the one that you think has less chances of being wrong. Mark it!
9. There is enough time to attempt M.C.Q.s. So you will not face problems relating to time unless you arrive late at the examination hall.

This completes the M.C.Q.s section.

Short Questions

After your M.C.Q.s are completed and question papers are collected by the attendants, you will be given another question paper that contains both short and long questions. Follow these steps:

• Margin lines should be drawn on the left only when the language of the paper is English and vice versa if the language is Urdu. 
• Read the question paper thoroughly.
• Do not write anything on the question paper.
• Do not use pencil. Even if any diagram is required, use pen, not pencil.
• Short questions are divided into three sections and you have to attempt questions from all these sections (usually 6 from each section. It depends on the number asked to attempt).
• First attempt the questions that you think are easy to answer. Order does not matter. The only thing that matters is the number of the question. Mention the question with the number that is written on the question paper, not with the order of your answered questions.
• You must attempt sections in order.
• Mention question number with a Marker and in the middle.
• Headings are important for a good presentation and ultimately good attempt. First, mention the question number. Then, write the heading of the question asked. You do not need to write the whole statement of the question but give a heading of 1-3 words that make the question clear. For example, if the question is, Write down types of industry. You do not need to write this statement. You only need to give heading as Types Of Industry.
• Write the heading in capital letters. First letter of the word in large size and the other letters in small size. LIKE THIS.
• Use Marker to point out important terms mentioned in the answer.
• Write the definitions in points. Use bullets to separate points.
• Spend two to three minutes on each short answer. Your writing speed should be good.
• If it is asked to differentiate two terms, draw a line in the middle of the page. In this way, you will get two columns. Use one column for one term. Similarly to differentiate three terms you need three columns but in that case line will not be drawn in the middle.
• There is a difference between the words Explain and Write/List down. If it is asked to explain, you will have to write in detail but the length should not exceed half page. Whereas, if it is asked to list down something, you will have to prepare a list with one to two words in each line.
• It is recommended not to answer any extra question since, it will be a waste of time. The examiner does not check extra questions.
• Avoid leaving empty lines unnecessarily.
• Writing should be neither too congested, nor too broad.
• Do not forget to mention the Section Number.
• Rough work should be done on the last page of answer copy.
• Writing should not be dirty.

I hope that I have made it clear that how to attempt short questions in a good way.

Long Questions

After completing the short questions, the only part left is the Long Questions. Follow these steps for long questions:

• In some subjects, there are two parts of a single question. These are mentioned as a and b. If you choose to attempt a question, you should attempt both parts because both of them combined are equal to one question. Attempting a part of one question and b part of another question is completely wrong.
• In theory based subjects, the answers of long questions should be 5 to 8 pages long. Choose the length according to your speed.
• All the long answers should have equal length.
• Presentation counts. Use headings and sub headings for good presentation.
• Mention the number that is written on the paper. Also mention the part you are attempting.
• Answer should be relevant. Do not add irrelevant material to increase the length.
• Spend 20 to 25 minutes on each long question.
• Write fast but not to the cost of presentation.
• Do not attempt extra questions.

And this completes the tips for attempting a good paper.
