3. Common mistake a student Do-

4. Related to writing the exam Poor time management Poor quality of content Duplicacy of answer Improper marking of answer No. Focus more on easy question Leaving the question unattempted Mixing of two answers, Difficult to differentiate by the examiner

5. Related to instruction Section A and Section B confusion Pen - which color pen is to be used. No Clear guidelines but ask from your invigilator if any special instruction at the time of exam. But avoid red and green pen. Ignoring the instruction regarding question, e.g. attempt any 3 or Q. 4 is compulsory like that instruction.

6. What to do

7. Presentation Clear and understandable handwriting along with speed Heading and subheading must be clearly distinguishable Focus more on diagram or flow charts instead theory wherever necessary e.g. pathophysiology, anatomy etc Content should be specific and relevant. Avoid excessive and irrelevant content.

8. Presentation important information should be clearly notable (E.g. underline the important information) Give due importance to each question. Each question helps you in scoring. AVOID WRITING IN PARAGRAPH. WRITE POINT TO POINT MANNER

9. Poor time management Student spend more time on easy question and that why less time is left for another question. To avoid this, divide equal time for each question. And follow this time management strictly. For e.g. if you have to attempt 5 question, spend 35 minute for each question. Like that you will be able to attempt all question with in prescribed time . 5 question x 35 minute = 175 minute out of 180 minute (3hrs). At last 5 minute are left to review the answer sheet again .

10. Poor content Student write the irrelevant content instead for appropriate and specific content. Focus on writing the specific and related to the question asked .

11. Duplicacy of answer Some students attempts question repeatedly. Remember that attempting a question two time will not increase your mark. Because the scoring by the examiner is done directly on the OMR sheet attached with your answer sheet. The examiner check the answer and then turn to the OMR sheet and write marks in the prescribed column. And if the examiner has already given marks in the prescribed column, the next time when he turn to OMR sheet to write marks, he find that the prescribed column is already filled. So he will not give marks to that repeat answer. So student don't waste your time in duplicating the answer for same question

12. Improper marking of answer No. Some time the students don't write the Question Number properly while writing the answer. This indicated to the examiner that you have given the wrong answer or either you have not attempted the question. E.g. You write the question no. but write answer for another question, the examiner may not provide marks. if you write 1.(c) as question number but gives answer for 1.(d), the examiner will interpret that the answer is given for 1.C and it is wrong.

13. Focus more on easy question Some time student focus on easy question spending more time and occupying more spaces(pages) than required. Remember that each question is important for scoring and to pass the exam so give equal importance to all question.

14. Leaving the question unattempted Try to attempt all question, avoid leaving the question unattempted. This will improve your overall scoring.

15. Mixing of two answers, Difficult to differentiate by the examiner Sometimes the student write in a manner in which it is difficult to identify where the previous question is ending and the next question is starting. Be caution about it because it may results in unchecking of next answers. To avoid this mark your question no. in the middle of the line in a clearly visible manner OR START EVERY QUESTION AFTER 3 TO 4 BLANK LINE. SO IT CREATE SEPARATION BETWEEN TWO ANSWER

16. ANS 4.B

17. Section A and Section B confusion Sometimes the student get confused when there are two section in the question paper and two separate answer sheets are provided. Remember that section are clearly mentioned on the question paper so select the section A and Section B answer sheet appropriately. If you write section A paper in section B answer sheet, it will be bundled along with section B sheets. And likewise it will be checked by the the examiner who is allotted section B sheets. So further it may create problem for you.

18. i gnoring the instruction regarding question Read the instruction given on the question paper carefully. e.g. attempt any 3 or any five … Q. 4 is compulsory like that instruction. Student don't read the instructions carefully and attempt all question so wasting their time without any benefit.
