3 things to remember in the examination hall

Whatever you study, how you study and what part you study doesn't
matter as much the way you spend your time in the examination hall!!

This was very true for me, I lost priciples of flights paper because
of that and got through in workshop technology and thermodynamics and
electrical papers.

Here are 3 things that one should do in the examination hall so that
one can perform well in the exam.

A. Keep calm. Yes the ovious advice but it's the one that is mostly
needed. If the examination paper is easy, don't jump in joy. Keep your
cool and begin calmly, taking one step at a time. If the paper makes
you curse aesi, burn goyal, etc. keep calm and relax. Take a deep
breadth and concentrate on the parts that you know and begin from there.

B. Be in the present. During the exam hall don't go back to the past
or to the future. Stay right there in the examination hall. Don't
think of results, don't think of the next exams. Stay and keep your
mind locked to the exam you are giving. This will ensure you will give
your maximum to the questions.

C. Revise. Revise all that you have written. Read the questions
again and check if you have given the correct answer. Read my previous
post on revision to read more on how to revise.( link given at the end)

Bonus: Time your answers. Yes time management is crutial. Getting all
the answers done in the amount of time alloted always comes as an
advantage. Don't time your individual answers. The best way that
worked for me was deciding on the number of questions that I will do
in 60 mins. It didn't matter how long I took at one particular
question but the aim was to finish alloted number of questions in time.

Have a great exam guys and gals!! Do good preparation and have a
positive and confident attitude and reach for the stars!!!
