Check out the formats for writing great answers for CBSE...
One can have a good grasp on multiple subjects and still score low in CBSE board examination. People are often left confused by it and never seem to make sense of what they lack. Many of the CBSE teachers who check the answer sheets, suggest that the right answers can be found in their answers which they have already written in their answer sheets. The problem is with the improperly structured answers that tend to get awarded fewer marks when compared to well structured ones. A well-structured answer with good content, fetches more marks than its counterparts. Therefore, you can follow some of the strategies that toppers follow and help yourself fetch some bonus marks:
Step 1: Mark the Priority worthy questions
During the 15 minutes of the reading pinpoint and mark the questions that you know the best and would be able to score good in. Never make the mistake of attempting the questions as they are given in the question paper as it will slow you down considerably. Divide your questions into 3 levels based on their priority, allot them stars according to the same. Questions with high priority should be the one which you can attempt pretty swiftly and know pretty well and then the medium priority questions and then the least important questions. This technique will help you in developing more confidence while attempting your paper.
Step 2: Answer Precisely
Students have the misconception that if they make their answers lengthy and extensive, they will be granted more marks. However, what an examiner looks in an answer is slightly different. Most of them want precisely written answers with the appropriate keywords. For that follow the 6 rules of writing board answers mentioned below:
- Do not aim to fill the answer sheet with everything you know about the topic and just increase the number of words in your sheet. Rather, frame your answer strategically and do not forget to use keywords.
- Use easy to understand the language in your answers and refrain from using very complex words in your answer sheet. Simpler words make it easier for the examiner to understand what you are trying to say.
- Refrain from using a short form of words like instead of using “would’ve”, use “would have” and so on.
- Use concise words which will help make your writing more attractive in a qualitative way. For example, use ‘baffled’ instead of confused, ‘awful’ instead of bad and so on.
- Write clearly and spaciously, even though there is no time for you to make your writing more beautifully. This trick will help you to present your answers more understandably and neatly.
- Use diagrams and flow charts as they will enhance the understanding of your answer in the examiner’s eyes. They would also be advantageous as you would have to write less for an answer. Hence, saving up that precious time.
Step 3: Answer all the questions
Attempt all the questions (yes even the ones that you don’t know.) As leaving questions will result in you indefinitely losing marks but if you attempt the questions, there may be a thin chance that you get some marks out it. Even if the question is tricky, the examiner may give marks for just attempting the question.
