MODEL QUESTION

How to prepare for
competitive exam?
1. Read the question paper fully
Always attempt the questions which you know the answer thoroughly.
Doesn't matter you answer the last question first. If you don't know
anything skip it for answering later and go to the next. In case of
competitive exams choosing where to start also is major factor. For
example, either to start from Current affairs or English, either from Physics
or Chemistry that you have to decide depending on the marks allotted and
scope to it. Remember to go through the instructions before answering.

2.Have proper diet before exam
Follow a good food habit atleast during the examination period. The
period I mean is that you if you are having the exam in the second sunday
of this month, atleast follow a good food habit before 8 or 10 days.
Regularly following the same also can give a very good change. A good
food habit which I mean are those which will not cause any health
disorder or physical discomfort. For example don't go for cold items like
ice cream or soft drinks which may cause cold. Having a heavy dinner or
lunch may make you drowsy and spoil your study plan.

3. Arrange all necessary stationaries and hall ticket the previous day
- Since most of the competitive exams lies on holidays that too mostly you
will be asked to reach their between 9 a.m to 10 a.m, most of the shops
might be closed and in a hurry you may either go without necessary
stationaries or you may go late searching for a shop to buy.

4. Be aware of the exam centre
- Always be aware of how to reach the exam centre like the bus no or the
train name or timing and the exact location. It is better that you go there
once before the exam date after getting the hall ticket. So that you can
avoid unnecessary confusions of how to reach or the total time required to
reach there, so that you can plan accordingly on the exam date and reach
there safely on time.

5. Reach the exam venue before 30 minutes
of the time which is specified in the hall ticket, so that you can avoid
crowding near the room allotment notice where people gather more in the
peak timing.

6.Avoid learning new things at the exam venue
It may have adverse effect if you try to study new things in the last
moment. There is chance to get confused with whatever you already
know. Or its better to keep all the books in your home. Give a calm time
for your mind, this will greatly help you. Reading in the final hours will
make you nervous and make you feel that you have forgotten everything.

How to take notes for
studies?
Taking notes from textbooks
Some children attempt to study directly from the textbooks. Textbooks
contain a lot of data which are unnecessary. Hence compressing the ideas
in the textbook to a meaningful and easily understandable note is
necessary.

studies?
Reading and avoiding unnecessary details
Apart from the main and supporting details in the matter, a text may have
many other details which are unnecessary. These details are added to
lengthen the topic, give an effect to the topic or for a dramatic
presentation. These are unnecessary topic. Before you start taking notes,
read the topic thoroughly. Either underline the necessary topics, or strike
out the unnecessary topic. This is the first phase in note-taking.

studies?
Taking down main and supporting ideas
Among the necessary details, a textbook or any printed or online material
comprises of some main points and some other details which support the
main points. These details exemplify, explain and clarify the main ideas.
They are called supporting ideals. Thus main ideals and supporting ideals
compose the necessary matter of a text. Second phase in note-taking is to
sort the necessary details into main and supporting details. Underlining all
over again will cause a loss of time. Instead you can start the process of
taking notes.

studies?
Compressing the note
The process detailed above will cause a lot of time. Taking time is not a
problem in note-taking from textbook because the more time you spend,
the more will be the effect. But such efforts will produce huge notes. What
you need is compressed and short notes which you can scan through even
in the time of last revision. Hence the last step is to compress the note.
Compressing a note means simplifying and shortening a note. Your study
notes are supposed to be read by you. You should not concern about what
others may think or whether they will understand. Hence you can
compress the notes in your unique way. Compression techniques will be
mentioned in detail under the topic lecture notes.

studies?
Taking down visual notes and diagrams
Visual notes and diagrams include flowcharts, tables, tree diagrams, cyclic
charts, word suns, statistical diagrams etc. Some teachers will draw such
notes on the blackboard. Copying them to the note will help a lot. Such
diagrams will help us understand facts in a single look rather than going
through the whole topic. A flowchart is used to show data with many
branches. A table is used to compare two things. A cyclic chart is for
describing a cyclic process. A word sun is used to show something with
many components. All of this will improve the notes.

studies?
Taking down Lecture notes quickly
There are some techniques you can use to take down lecture notes quickly
and yet comprehensively. Some tips are being mentioned here.
-Avoid full sentences and write the note in phrases
-Do not look for proper grammar and take the notes in broken sentences
Write keywords only
-Connect the keywords using hyphens
-Use SMS language instead of proper words ( For – 4, To – 2, Forget – 4gt)
-Use symbols instead of clauses (And - &, is equal to - =, In addition to - +
etc)
