CLASS IXTERM- ISCIENCE

Most of the successful toppers agree that taking exams is a skill that can to a great extent, be learned.Since it is such a crucial and inevitable part of every student’s life, it makes sense to master the fundamentals correctly and at the earliest.

FIRST STEP

is to understand the question paper PROPERLY

What is Maximum Marks of Paper?

How much time is allowed?

How many questions will be there in the paper?

Maximum Marks =90

Time permitted = 3 hrs

Number of questions in the paper = 42

How is the marks distributed among different Topics?

What are the different types of questions and how is the marks distributed among them?

Any choice available?

How many Difficult questions,

How many Easy questions and

how many Average questions?

No overall choice is allowed.

But there is internal choice in

every question of 5 marks category.

For most of us, exams are scary and distressing. They are characterized by those sweaty palms or ‘going blank’ the moment we see the paper, followed by an insane urge to flee…………

Is there a BETTER WAY to tackle the exams?

doing well in an exam is a combination of knowing how to tackle the paper and knowing the material that goes into it. Assuming that you have more or less taken care of the latter,

these surprisingly simple how-to-techniques

combined with right attitude will

put you in control of the situation.

There are three ways to attack

1.Start with the first question and keep going, question by question, until you reach the end.

Try not to leave a question until you have answered it fully.

2.Answer every easy question-the ones you know the answers to without any thinking at allot those requiring the simplest calculations-first, then go back to attempt the difficult ones.

3.Answer the tough questions first, then go back and do the easy ones.

None of these three options are inherently right or wrong.

Each may work for different individuals.

The first is, in one sense, the quickest, in that no time is wasted by reading through the whole test trying to pick out either the easiest or more difficult questions.

Presuming that you don’t allow yourself to get stumped by a single question and spend an inordinate amount of time on it, it is probably the method most of you should employ.

However, leave questions that confuse you from the outset to the end and allocate enough time to ANSWER THEM.

check all your answers thoroughly.

The second approach ensures that you will workout correct answers by tackling the sure ones first.

Presuming that you knock those off relatively fast, it may also give you more time to work on questions that you find particularly vexing.

The last approach is to attack the toughest questions first, and then work your way down the difficulty ladder. This may sound like a strange strategy, so let’s understand the underlying psychology. If time pressure starts getting you towards the end of the test, you will be able to zip through the easiest questions-and many of them-in the limited time left. Besides, by the end of the test, one’s mind is less likely to be working as well as at the beginning. And that’s the major benefit of this approach-when you are ‘most awake’ and ‘alert’, you are tackling questions that require the maximum analysis, thinking, interpretation etc. And when you are most tired –near the end-you can run through the easy questions without much effort.

Is there any special better way to tackle MCQ?

P O E

Process Of Elimination

Is there any special way to write Chemistry

Chemistry people love equations

It is better to get one question wrong and complete three others

than get one right and leave three blank.

Remember that…………

Remember,

it’s a myth that teachers are impressed by

length. A well-organised, well constructed,

specific answer to the question will always

fetch you better marks

Are the physical factors important on the day of examination?

Many people underestimate physical factors when it comes to intellectual challenges ahead. If you're tired you are most likely to perform worse than you're capable of while fully rested. Same goes for food. Many people skip breakfast, whether it is due to nerves or 'I'm late' reasons. You should eat, even if it is just a little, it will help your organism and brain to function at full capacity.

Don't overeat yourself or eat heavy things. You're bound to feel sleepy .

Is self confidence important?

People often lack confidence and have low self esteem. They are underachievers but in my opinion they are so just because they allow it to be so.

see yourself as a person who can make it.

What if my exam goes bad?

Don't fret, move on. Your own judgment of how you did in an exam rarely correlates with your result.

Students can come out thinking they have failed and get a distinction - and vice versa. Relax, enjoy yourself, recharge you batteries and get on with your exam and life..

All of these tips will work for some people, some of these tips will work for everybody. In the end, see this advice as a part of the process of building your own style for success.

Good luck, we hope you do well.

Thanks…..
