MARKING OF QUESTIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING  PAPER

  Have you ever thought how much time does it take to mark an answer in the response sheet . Most of  the time we do not think about it because we think that it is too small a thing to think about . But you would be surprised to know that normally the time taken to mark a response varies between 6 to 10 seconds per question . so if you attempt 90 questions and take on an average 8 seconds to mark the responses , the total time consumed is = 8 X 90 = 720 seconds = 12 minutes . In a competitive  exam like AIEEE , this is indeed a significant amount of time !

      before coming to know how can we mark faster , let us find out the methods adopted by the students .

METHOD 1

  mark the responses simultaneously . so in this method you solve quesn 1 and then mark it and so on . Advantage is that you do not face a situation where you are not able to mark all the responses due to scarcity of time . But the disadvantage is that every time you mark to response , there is a shift in the thinking mode of mind from solving a question to marking and darkening a circle . In this method a student wastes a lot of time moving from  question booklet to  response sheet and back.

METHOD 2

   solve the questions first and then mark the responses in the end . The disadvantage is that at times you get so busy in solving questions that you do not realise that the time is over and in the end you are not able to mark the complete responses

  but the advantage is that you save on time and moreover the concentration is also higher .

METHOD 3 (the best method)

    in this method it is recommended that you mark the responses after first two rounds of problem solving or after  2 hours of start of the examination. By following this method you do not loose concentration and time  and at  the same time you do not reach a situation where you are not able to mark  the complete responses. After the first two rounds adopt METHOD 1 to mark the responses and then solve the rest of the paper.

 

   I hope these  tips helps you in maximizing your performance .
