1. Prepare your stationery a day in advance and do not borrow or lend the items in the examination hall as it not only distracts the examinees but severely violates the test codes of conduct.
2. Check
your room allotment as per your Symbol No well ahead of the test time and enter
the examination hall at least 15 minutes prior to your test.
3. Remember to carry your authorized documents like ADMIT CARD and School ID each
test day. Also carry a Xerox copy of your documents, in case the original
copies get misplaced or lost.
4. Do
not carry unnecessary text/notebooks on your test dates as you hardly have
enough time to revise the notes; it rather confuses you and puts unnecessary
pressure on your mind.
5. Write
your details on the first cover page of the answer script without any error in
all the prescribed languages and formats, including the SET on the top left
corner of the same page if required.
6. Have
a good time allotment for each of the questions and try to solve the problems within
the same timeframes, like 1 mark=1.8 minute at the most.
7. Put
all your focus on your test and do not visit the washroom unless emergency, or
be distracted when others do so.
8. Never
write anything on the question paper except your symbol number and a tick as an
indication of answering priority.
9. Always
try to attempt all the questions as there is no negative marking even if your
answers are not correct.
10. Draw
at least a 0.5-inch margin line on the right and 1 inch on the left to let enough
space for the task items to be distinctly marked.
11. Your
alphanumeric handwriting matters a lot in any test. Have it legibly and clearly
written to not just please the examiners but marked generously.
12. Carefully
read the instructions for each of the tasks and their items to precisely address
the need of the questions.
13. Answers
without the correct question numbers are considered invalid. Always mention question No at the top center of your page to save yourself from missing question no.
14. In
case you are unable to answer the questions in sequential order, you are allowed
to start with any question you find easy which prevents you from wasting your
precious test time.
15. Do
not panic/be nervous when you find an unfamiliar/unknown question as the
concerned teacher(s) from the same department will visit the exam hall to fix
the problem well in time.
16. Make
ample use of the keywords in your answers, especially in subjects other than
Maths.
17. The
number of words should neither overshoot the mark nor undershoot the threshold,
but write more words for more marks and fewer words for fewer marks, like 1 short
sentence for 1 mark in case of a descriptive answer, however, it may vary from
subject to subject and as per the tips and techniques taught by the respective
subject teacher.
18. Never
resort to any foul or unethical means as it is a matter of both your character
and career.
19. Do
not expect or ask for any hints/clues from the proctors nor argue with them as it
is a punishable offense.
20. Do
not leave the examination hall before you have completed the test or at least 2
hours after the commencement of the test.
21. Have
at least 10 minutes time left for the final revision of your paper when you
can check the cover page details and the answer numbers.
All the best!
