Many students make this exam mistake and it affects their marks in a very bad way.Not reading question paper properly will lead to silly mistakes.Sometimes due to not reading question paper correctly, students write more answers then asked, miss out on writing some answers and sometimes write a different answer for a different question.This is probably the worst exam mistake students make during their exams.
SOLUTION-
- Properly read your question paper twice and read all the main questions.
- Check how many answers are asked to be written in the question paper for each main question and assign time to each question accordingly.
- Ask the supervisor if you have any doubt regarding the question paper.
- Turn the paper and check if there are more questions on the next page and assign time to each question accordingly.
DO NOT FORGET TO WRITE SKIPPED QUESTIONS

Sometimes during exams, students leave questions in between to write later but that later never comes due to time constraints or in situations where students forget to write that skipped question.This causes the students to lose their valuable marks in exams.
SOLUTION-
- Circle the skipped question with a pencil during exams and do write that answer when you finish your entire paper.
- Keep the required amount of time that you need to write that answer in your mind and write the paper accordingly by maintaining a good amount of writing speed.
Tip No 4:-
DON'T GIVE UP

| Student giving up when they don't know certain answers |
Many students give up when they don't know certain answers in their exams.This affects their entire paper and they even miss out on writing answers that they do know.
SOLUTION-
- Do not lose hope.Firstly write all the answers that you do know.
- Do not leave any question unanswered.Every mark matters so try to write as much as you can.
- Even if you write 2 to 3 points, you will get some marks for it even if the answer is incomplete(At least it is better than getting nothing)
Tip No 5:-
DO NOT SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON ONE QUESTION IN EXAMS

Many students make this exam mistake and spend a lot of time on one question in two cases-
1)When they get stuck on that question and try to figure out a way to solve the question.
2)When they have complete knowledge of that answer and try to write it all irrespective of the marks it carries.
In both these cases, students face time issues and miss up writing some important questions ahead carrying more marks.
SOLUTION-
- If you get stuck on a particular question, try to leave it as it is at that point and after solving all the questions, come back and solve that one.
- Analyse how much marks a question carries and write answer accordingly(Writing extra won't give you more marks)
Tip No 6:-
DO NOT DISCUSS PAPER AFTER EXAMS
 |

This is perhaps the worst exam mistake a student makes during exams.If you discuss your paper and find out your answer is different from your friends answer, you will stress out unnecessarily which will affect your coming papers.
SOLUTION-
- No matter how good or bad your paper is, do not discuss your paper.
- You will not be able to change the results of that paper now, so there is no need to discuss the paper now.
- If you find that your friends are discussing the paper, ask them not to do so or else go away from them during that time.
1)Do not read till the last minute
2)Don't start writing the paper without writing question paper correctly.
3)Do not forget to write skipped questions
4)Don't give up
