Mrs.Sribala, an expert educationist enlightened SEVAI Shanthi Matric.Higher Secondary School,Pettavaithalai students   the key points in mind to score outstanding marks in Public Examination. Mrs.Sribala  further added, “Some students view examinations are mere punishment. We should think that it is only due to exams, we get to step the final stage of ambitions and also get an opportunity to live one’s dreams. The students should understand how to cope up with the exam pressure and even score maximum marks.  Before the students begin the writing answers in Examinations, they need to allocate time for every question. Few of the questions will need more time than others. Allot the time to each question based on the marks fixed to it. Should are to Check and Re-check their Answer Papers. Many of the students fall short of time to check their answer paper after finishing it. To avoid this, try to complete their exam paper at least 20 minutes before time so that the students can have enough time to check all their written answers. Moreover, the students also can see if each and every question has been numbered correctly or not and if by any chance there are any questions left unanswered. It is very important that the students are to look into their balancing their Writing. Illustrating too much for questions that do not need lengthy answers results in an apparent scarcity of time for other remaining questions. Similarly, if students write too little for questions that requires elongated answers, the students will end up missing main points or details of an idea. Invariably, the result will be loss of marks. But at the same time, if the students balance it out well they will apparently get higher marks in exam. It is also vital for Sequencing as the style of the writing is very vital. A notable point wise answer will absolutely earn more marks than a long piece of writing. The students are to highlight the answer point wise starting from the most important to the least important and pay a lot of attention to writing style. It may definitely fetch some bonus points. It is note worthy to practice beforehand in this arena so that the students write appropriately to get higher marks in exam. It is desired to use “Paragraphing”, In case of long answers where the students need to write in paragraphs adapt the method of paragraphing. After every three or four points, a new paragraph should commence. In addition, where there is an association of points, the following paragraph should begin with a transitional word like, ‘Consequently’, ‘Therefore’, ‘Nevertheless’ etc. and to get a good command over the language, one should read as many books as possible. Where ever possible emphasize students are to answer by drawing a diagram. The students can draw flow charts and illustrate their knowledge as the diagram should be effective and not shabby. It is very important to highlight the main points and words in students answer by underling the important phrase and Present answer as neat as possible without any cuts and strokes. Grammar plays a very significant role in getting higher marks in exam and as much as possible avoid all the obvious grammar as well as spelling mistakes. One way of achieving this is by reproducing all the answers in very simple and plain language

instead of using complex terms. If students want to score excellent marks in exam, they should not stuff their answers with any unwanted trash. Many pupils are under the impression that if they write more they will get more marks. However, the marks allotted are mainly for the quality writing and not just quantity, master the art of content writing and easily score effectively. The majority of the students take the value of handwriting very lightly. They do not understand that it is handwriting which brings in some extra marks. Yes, if your handwriting is neat, viable and easy to read then the examiner unconsciously or consciously checks generously and you get a few extra marks by the virtue of your good handwriting. Intelligibility counts and it is always appreciated and favored. Clear handwriting is indeed a way to get that high score in exams. The students are to make sure that they are fully attentive while writing the exam, both physically as well as mentally. Avoid any sort of distraction. Don’t look here and there and focus mainly on their paper. Also carry every necessary item with himself so that the students don’t have to ask as it may disturb others as well as your focus on the topic”.-Kris
