Cracking the test - The overall Approach

For cracking the test or any kind of competitive exams, it is very necessary that you take the right approach for the exams. It is all about solving the right questions in the right amount of time. You don’t have to solve it all. You have to make the right selection as to what all to solve first, what to leave for review later and which are the ones that are not your cup of tea.
Here we would apply the approach which is known as “The Objective Approach”. Remember that this is just one of the approach that may work. If you have a better approach that works for you, well and good.

Here is how it works:

1)      Skim through the paper in 2 minutes to just have a look at the questions. You would find some extremely easy ones in there. These are the ones that are sandwiched between the tougher ones. We hunt them down in the first two minutes and then finish them off in the next few minutes.

2)      Once we are through we some questions and have built confidence in our preparation, it’s time to approach the medium difficulty problems. These are the ones we give time to, which we saved on the easy ones.

3)      Once the medium difficulty questions are knocked off, it’s time to approach the difficult ones depending on the time that we are left with.

Why this approach?

The reason for this approach is because our objective in the exam is first to qualify it by scoring the bare minimum marks required for it.

The second objective is to maximize the score by solving the medium difficulty problems adequately and accurately.

Once we are through with these parts, it is time to get your self a rank.

Any case, this approach guarantees that if your preparation is adequate and you have the right mindset, you clear the cut-off first, then maximize the score for a better one and ultimately land yourself a higher rank in the exams.

The aim is to perform to the best of our ability and in accordance with the preparation that we have done. This technique guarantees that we get a head start by taking up easy questions and building confidence and morale. Once you have the confidence, things will start falling in place and you would be able to perform to the best of your ability.
