- 6. We are hereto help you! Psychology Super-Notes 7 Visit Free IGNOU Help Center for FREE Resources If you are a faculty or student of IGNOU, this document may be just what you need! IGNOU has a vast syllabus, there is minimal support from the study centers and university. But, the exams are as tough as exams for regular programs, if not tougher. Unfortunately, the students, most of whom are working, don’t get sufficient support for their exams. We at PsychoTech Services have launched several efforts to help IGNOU students – if you haven’t visited the FREE IGNOU Help Center yet, now might be the right time! Back in 2015, we created the first version of our ‘IGNOU Question Paper Pattern Analysis’ with the objective of helping IGNOU students with their theory examinations. Several copies and duplicates soon surfaced. Some of them very brightly colored with fancy graphics. But none with the same high level of accuracy and quality of analysis and insights. While this document and the analysis in it would help you a lot, do remember exams are both a test of your knowledge and your ability to present the answers in a manner that the examiner is inclined to give you marks. So work on both these aspects –for some very useful tips on How to Score More in your Exams - Click Here! Good luck for your exams!!!

We even refreshed it, just to confirm!
- 9. An Approach thatWorks! Our approach is based on a very simple and logical concept… The syllabus of any course created anywhere on this planet can, typically, be broken into three parts – 1. Core Concepts, 2. Important Concepts and 3. Related but not as important concepts. Now, logically, if you have to test your students’ knowledge of a subject which of these three would you focus on? Simple, right ☺ This is the reason we find that the pattern of questions asked in entrance exams and university exams everywhere in the world clearly mirror the above. Most questions are asked from the core concepts, some from the important concepts, and few from the related concepts. Therefore, as a student, it does not make sense for you to put equal effort in all subjects. When you prepare for your exams, you must prioritize - ‘by-heart’ the core concepts, learn the important concepts and touch the related concepts if you intend to score a perfect 100! How do you know which topic belongs to which category? That is what this document will help you to know. We analyzed all the question papers available on the IGNOU site, right from the beginning of the programme to find out the relative importance of every part of your syllabus. This will help you to get maximum marks with minimum effort! Disclaimer 10 Visit Free IGNOU Help Center for FREE Resources
