Make columns in a big sheet:
Name the columns as follows:
Column 1:Marks Analysis.
This includes the marks you score in all the subjects(PCB ) with a detailed analysis. This column should be spacious as each subject will further be analyzed as per Section, Area & Time-wise performance.
Some students simply fail to look up their scores, hence, the analysis goes down the drain.
Try to figure out your performance in the major areas, please check which question took the longest amount of time.
Column 2:My Weak Areas.
Here you NOTE down the questions you could not answer, answered wrong, or could not attempt due to lack of time or lack conceptual clarity or which you didn’t study well. Get them cleared the same day by taking help from friends, else coaching tutors,s or personal mentors.
Column 3 is Improvement Required.
Re-solve the exam.
Do not look at the solutions just now.
Solve the exam again.
Solve the questions without any time pressure and see how it goes.
Try to understand how you solved the paper in the first go & how you should have actually solved it.
Identify the questions you missed out on.
Try to segregate your silly mistakes.
Column 4: Check Solutions Now.
Here you finally look at the solutions.
Check the problems you could not solve.
Check the ones you could; for the simple reason that there might be hidden tricks or tips that you can use in other exams.
Column 5: Make cheat sheets quickly.
A cheat sheet is a concise set of notes used for quick reference.
Please don’t carry them for the test, be it mock or real.
Now start making a quick cheat sheet of all that you learned from the exam. This should include:
# Mathematics shortcuts
# Data interpretation tips and techniques
# Formulas
# Grammar and usage rules (new ones that you discovered in the exam)
Once done all these tasks seriously, draw up a strategy for the next mock.
On the basis of your current attempt, draw up a strategy for the next exam.
Give yourself a series of directives to follow in the next exam, and see how it goes.
Do give the next mock as early you can.
Participants, Remember to energize yourself often, before, & after the mock tests to make you feel comfortable.
Good luck!
Summary:–
Do attempt mock tests. Maintain all rules applicable in real tests. Evaluate & analyze yourself the same day or by the next day. Don’t keep aside for long period. Write down your findings in notebook & go through them before you sit for the next to avoid old errors.
