2. INEFFECTIVE TEST TAKING STRATEGIES
NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS toppers use effective Test taking strategies in order to get maximum score. This will help to avoid mistakes on NEET/ JEE. Candidates should use successful test taking strategies, while incorporating the following :
-Plan the order in which subjects are to be attempted.
-Plan the percentage of time allotted for each subject.
-Allot time for double checking your answers.
-Be flexible enough to accommodate any changes in your plan.
As different rank holders implement different strategies, it is important that each student analyse and choose which test taking strategies are effective for him/her. While taking the practice tests itself, students should practice their NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS test taking strategies. Do not wait for the Exam day to make new strategies or change any.
3. POOR TIME MANAGEMENT
Poor time management costs marks when it comes to NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS test taking. So, candidates should pay more attention to avoid mistakes on NEET/ JEE Test Day. Toppers usually plan and estimate time for each subject according to the level of difficulty. However, many of them are flexible in their approach so as to accommodate changes according to the level of difficulty of questions. Many students give more time to difficult subjects. In order to be successful in NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS, it is important that candidates adhere to effective time management strategies during exam preparation & practice test taking itself.
4. IMPROPER ANSWERING TECHNIQUE
Having no proper answering technique is another mistake to avoid when taking NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS. Elimination technique or True/ False technique is an effective technique to find the most correct answer when answering Multiple Choice Questions and hence it is successfully used by many toppers. Make sure you read the whole question and answer choices before choosing your answer. Be careful, you cannot change your answer once you have marked it in the answer sheet. Mark your answers in the answer sheet, not in the question paper. Don’t wait until the end of the exam to mark the answers in the answer sheet.
5. BLIND GUESSING
Now, let’s see yet another of the common mistakes on NEET/ JEE Test Day. It is a common practice that candidates give more time than allotted to questions in the beginning of the test. As a result, they end up having insufficient time towards the end of the exam. In a rush, many candidates choose answers based on blind guessing, which can lead to negative marks. As each mark is important when determining the rank for NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS, candidates should be cautious about blind guessing, which can cost them marks. Depending on the negative marks per question determined for a particular exam, whether it is NEET/ JEE/ AIIMS, candidates should analyse and determine whether guessing is helpful or not. Always better to do INTELLIGENT/ SMART GUESSING than BLIND GUESSING!
