Lack of Planning: Going into your preparation without a clear study plan can result in a scattered approach.
Selective Guessing:
– If you are unsure about an answer, avoid blind guessing. Instead, use selective guessing by eliminating obviously incorrect options. This increases the likelihood of making an educated guess.
Read Questions Carefully:
– Before answering a question, read it carefully. Misinterpretation can lead to mistakes. Pay attention to details, especially in questions that seem straightforward.
Underestimating Mock Tests:
Taking mock tests under timed conditions is essential to simulate the exam environment and improve your pacing and accuracy.
OverburDouble-Check Answers:den Yourself
– Before submitting your answer sheet, double-check your answers. Ensure that you have marked the correct responses and haven't made any accidental errors.
Practice Regularly:
– Regular practice with mock tests and previous year's papers helps you become familiar with the types of questions and reduces the chances of making careless mistakes.
Negative Marking Strategy:
– If you can eliminate one or more options and make an educated guess, it might be worth attempting the question. However, if you are completely unsure, it might be better to skip it.
Subject-Wise Preparation:
– Focus on strengthening your knowledge in each subject. A strong foundation will help you answer questions more confidently, reducing the likelihood of negative marking.
Avoid Overthinking:
– Trust your instincts. If you've prepared well, your initial response is likely to be correct. Avoid changing answers unless you are certain that your initial choice was incorrect.
