TIPS FOR SCORING GOOD MARKS IN BUSINESS SUBJECT CBSE AISSCE EXAM

Cracking an examination is a skill that can be acquired. As with studying, scoring good marks too is a combination of managing one’s time well and applying the right method.

Here are some guidelines that one can follow while attempting to write an exam.

• Answer the question as it is asked.

Read the question at least twice before answering. Be at guard for either/or questions. Also make sure to tackle all sub-sections of a question.

• Use the marks as a guide

The examination paper mentions the marks each question carry. Use these mark as a rough guide as to how long their answers ought to be. Do not expand an answer more

than is relevant. This will save a lot of time which can be used while writing a Long- Answer question.

• Avoid writing irrelevant points

While writing an answer, focus on the nature of the question asked to maintain focus. Answering something that is irrelevant to the question, no matter how good a description it is, will not only waste time but also be given low marks.

• Budget your time

Don’t dwell too much on a particular question as remaining questions may get little or no  time  if.  Despite  how much one  writes,  one can only score the  maximum  marks allocated to that question. If facing difficulty in answering a question, move on to other questions and return to the former later.

• Check and double-check

Always keep some time for revision while budgeting time. In the rush to complete the paper, some basic spelling mistakes or forgotten, half-attempted questions may spoil all

the effort.

    Believe in yourself. Set a goal for yourself.

    Accordingly set a timetable for yourself.

    Identify a limited number of direct questions which usually come in the exams &

prepare them well.

    Apply FRT (Fast reading technique) i.e. to revise more in less time.

      Presentation: Be particular about how you write the answers. It should always be in points with a heading and a brief explanation.

    Do not leave out any Questions.

      Also be careful not to spend too much time on 1 question at the cost of other questions.

      Wherever any process  is asked to be explained, write all the steps involved, irrespective if the marks allotted to that question.

    Draw a flowchart/diagram in support of your answer, wherever possible.

    Answer those questions first, which you know very well.

    Underline all the sub-headings.

    Draw small cartoons /diagrams with small captions wherever fits suitable.

    Attempt ‘HOTS’ questions at the last.

      Utilize the QP paper reading time to plan writing strategies instead of trying to write answers in advance.

      While   trying   to   understand   ‘HOTS’   questions   keep  in   mind   chapter-wise allotment of marks for each chapter. Sometimes this helps to guess the chapter from which the hots question is given.

      Especially in case of Application Oriented Questions (HOTS), read Hindi medium version also, it may give you some clue.   It also removes the vagueness in the English language.

      Maintain a separate small hand – book to write only sub-headings for all the concepts in the subject. It helps as a ready- reckoner.

      Read summaries given at the end of each chapter to get a comprehensive idea about the given chapter.  Hots can be given from summaries also.

    Refer  latest  CBSE  sample  question  papers  along  with  previous  year  Board
