CBSE CLASS X AND XII: MAXIMIZE YOUR SCORE

Try to stay in perspective when answering all questions. Follow instructions carefully and think hard about what exactly the question is asking from you. Some may be very simple, so try not to over-interpret or you risk missing the supposedly easy parts. For true or false type of tests, look for terms that might refer to a false statement such as “never”, “none”, “always” and other absolute words.

For multiple choice and matching types, cross out items that immediately do not make sense. The process of elimination is a highly effective tool in leading you to the right answer. One useful tip is looking for two opposing statements. On most occasions, one of these is usually the right answer. Matching type tests should be answered starting from the easiest. This will help narrow down available answers wherein you can possibly make a calculated guess.

To help you maximize time, answer the easy questions first. Do not spend more than one minute on a number and immediately move on to the next one. Just go back to items you’ve skipped after you finish the entire exam. It’s always better to try and answer an item through guesswork instead of leaving it blank. Remember to follow guidelines and rules carefully since you can fail by making a simple mistake like drawing a circle when asked for a square in multiple choice types.

If the test is composed of point value questions, try to do very well on items that will give you a greater chance of passing. Failing these items may also cause you to drop scores drastically. Review everything carefully and ensure that you didn’t miss answering anything.
