ISC Class 11 Exam 2022 Strategy

The examinations will be held provisionally in March every year. As a result, there is plenty of time to study for the ISC Board Class 11th test throughout the academic year. Regular study and preparation will undoubtedly help to obtain high grades. Here are a few pointers to help you prepare effectively.

Read Question Paper Well

The first thing is to try to read your paper well and know it well. When writing the answers, you initially have to understand what is being asked and how many marks it contains. The solution should be written logically and comprehensively.

Use Primary Quarter-hour Effectively

You get a quarter-hour to read the question paper before the commencement of the actual exam duration. Use this time to try to just READ. Read all the questions. While reading, mark the questions into categories wise, easy, manageable and hard. This is often done to possess an overall idea about the questions and make a rough plan.

Prioritise your Attempt

Always attempt the straightforward questions first, then advance to the manageable ones and make sure that you complete them before taking over the difficult ones. This will ensure that you are not leaving any easy questions. Once you successfully attempt all the straightforward and manageable questions, your confidence will grow, and you will be mentally able to combat the tougher questions.

Keep an Eye on your Watch

Keeping an eye fixed on your watch is not to increase your stress. This is often to ascertain that you simply are broadly adhering to the time allocation we discussed in the beginning. A minor variation is not in the least a reason to stress.

Ensure Speed and Accuracy

Use quicker calculations to make sure that you aren’t dalliance and your answers are correct. For instance, if you create a mistake within the sign of a term (), you’ll not be ready to solve questions involving quadratic or linear equations. Therefore avoiding silly mistakes is extremely important to save lots of time. Always follow the tricks we considered in speed strategies.

Use Easy Language

While writing your answer, confirm that you use easy to know the language. An examiner will preferably be impressed by a conceptual answer written in simple rather than one with no conceptual language but written in flowery language.

Be Neat and Clean

Write your answer in clear and legible handwriting. Not everyone features beautiful handwriting, but anyone can write answers with proper space between words using appropriate punctuation. Remember that if your answer sheet isn’t clean and handwriting legible, it’ll be unfavourable to you.

ISC Board Class 11 Exam-taking Strategy

Following are few ISC Class 11 exam-taking strategies:

1. Read Question Paper Thoroughly Before Answering

Students are recommended to spend the first 10-15 minutes of the examination time reading the question paper thoroughly before beginning to answer. They need to observe the question types, difficulty level, and marks for each question and create a mind map of the answer. All of these will help in improving clarity and managing time effectively. The solution should be written accordingly- logically and comprehensively.

2. Set the Answering Priority

Always attempt the straightforward questions first, then advance to the manageable ones and make sure that you complete them before taking over the difficult ones. This will ensure that you are not leaving any questions that you know. Once you successfully attempt all the straightforward and manageable questions, your confidence will grow, and you’ll be mentally able to combat the tougher questions.

3. Keep Track of Time 

Make sure that you plan how much time you want to spend on questions so that you do not miss out on any questions in the exam. This is often to ascertain that you can answer the entire question paper well within the maximum time given. Students are suggested not to get stressed by looking at the watch at the same time, track the time as they move from one section to the other.

4. Ensure Speed and Accuracy

Use quicker calculations to make sure that you are able to arrive at the final, correct answer quickly. Avoiding silly mistakes is extremely important to improve your scores.

5. Use Easy Language

Always write in a manner that whoever is correcting the answer paper can understand your answer and thought process correctly. Avoid using complex and confusing words. 

6. Write Your Answers Neatly

Write your answer in clear and legible handwriting. Although not every student is blessed with neat handwriting, one has to remember to maintain proper and equal spacing between paragraphs, write legibly and avoid overwriting. With illegible handwriting, chances are the invigilators will miss understanding your answer even though it is correct and not score your answer for that particular question.
