Exam season! Don’t Burn out!
Most of you would have started or waiting for lab externals to finish to start serious preparation for theory exams and those who till now didn’t even thought of starting ,you better start because”The dates are closer than they appear” 
Today in this article I would like to talk about few tips related to preparation for our theory papers but most of you”ll say that what we all are doing from the day we were born da. But had u ever thought that you studied the same as your friend did and he/she got better marks than you. Well you just blame it on your luck that what all he studied came in exams and what u did didn’t or his handwriting is good so he gets more marks than me for same content.
Actually blaming someone else for your failure will always make u failure for whole life. Take one minute out of your busy schedule[very busy
Now sometimes smart study does trick for few whereas for others it may not.These few observations I made during my last 4 semester exams are If you seriously analyse previous five years question, u”ll see that from each unit a particular topic is asked in Dec/Jan and from other topic in June/July.
This way u can put extra effort on certain topics at last moment to have an extra edge.
- Few students are comfortable with whole night study and they can stay alive even after not sleeping for two days.Please Please Please, others who can’t don’t compare or try to follow them. Live example is me who remained awake on 2 nights and studied something but 3rd day slept for 15 hrs.So make a small time table that by around this time u have to sleep and get up by this time u have to get up bcos u need atleast 6 hrs of sleep to reboot. Just observe one day that how much u studied in two hours just after good sleep will be equal to four hour study(where two hours come from your sleeping hours).
- Always take light diet to last long in front of study table.And for backup always keep engineer’s ration(MAGGI) ready in ur cupboard to fill your tummy.
- Even today what we study generally forget while or before exams.The best way to tackle this is to write small points about what u actually learnt after just u finished ur studies.By doing this u are transferring most part of DATA from your RAM to ROM for later use.
- Take small breaks between your study otherwise u”ll make kichdi of what all u studied. Listen light music or move around in your room or talk on any topics out of syllabus with friend to realx.
These are the few points which I think will be useful to u always.

Crazy vtu and crazy students.

The best thing is that you know your shortcomings so you just have to work on it.

hi thanks a lot for those tips. i am preparing for my exams. hopefully ll get gud marks dis tym.
d prob is i dunno hw much t write fr a particular question. i end up writing everythn i knw.an in d end i don get tym t finish my paper 
can u gve m sme advise abt dis ?
see my recent comment , surely this”ll help u.
And also legible handwriting with letters big enough for the evaluator to see without much effort.
These are few more tips which I left out in the article–
1.First write what they have asked.Like if “What is XYZ and its types?”(4 marks)-then first write definition of XYZ and followed by two lines about it and their types.FINISH(nothing else required)Invigilator will be searching for only this much rest answer answered won’t fetch u marks but sometimes make u lose 1 marks.
“What is XYX and its types?”(14 marks)-then first write definition and 4 points for explanation Then about x types with 5 line briefing of each and also a diagram if present.
2.Try to speed up your handwriting by writing and practising while preparing for exams.
3.The best method to show the main part in answer is UNDERLINE the main words and sentence with pencil.
Am sure this will fetch u 5 marks extra
Oh… Realy thanks for your tips. I got what i was searching for.
