Madhyamik and Higher Secondary Examinations
are knocking at your doors.
How should you approach it?
In our previous post I have stated what you should do and what you should not at this stage of preparation. Now I am going to suggest how you should tackle your examination phobia when you are inside the class room. For the MP students this will be first time in your life when you are sitting in a class room which is alien to you. The ambiance is different and the invigilators are new. You are not familiar with them and their antics. They may not be friendly with you. So it will take some time to assess them. Be friendly with them. Address them with respect and all the modesty at your command. A warm and sweet smile wins a lot of friends. Don't try to be too smart. Don't wear your vanity on your shirt sleeves.
Now follow the steps stated below:
- First of all read the entire question paper minutely. Take your time. There is no hurry. Start with the grammar problems. You have practised it time and again. You will find them easy. You have just scored 12 marks.
- Go back to the Text portion. This is your familiar territory. Write the answers after reading the questions attentively. You are sure to score between 18 to 20 marks.
- Now attempt the writing portion. You can write correct English. Write short sentences. Don't compose lengthy answers. You are not writing your auto-biography or writing an epic. Be precise.
- After completing these three parts take a water break. Go outside the class room. Wash your face and eyes with cold water. Look at the open sky. Fill your lungs with fresh air. Come back. Read the unseen passage 3 or 4 times. Find out the meaning of the 4 given words from the passage. Now write the remaining answers. Well done.
Ditto for HS Examinees. BEST OF LUCK.
