    Tips for Scoring Good Marks in JNTU Final Exams

    Hello students,

    I know that many of you have got exam jitters, hope these tips will help you..

    It is very easy to get good marks in jntu exams, only when you know how..

    Firstly, Don't think that you can pass the exams by repeating the question papers orfilling the additional with some idiotic stuff.. It is wrong.. please leave thismisconception, It wont take you anywhere..

    Impress the examiner with your handwriting (It is not mandatory to have a beautifulhandwriting, but at least have a hand writing that everyone understands),

    Next, show him that you have got some interest in giving the exam and that you have

    stuff in your brain by writing stuff from textbooks.. Don't write your exams for the sakeof anyone, write them to prove your capability..

    Never follow All in one answers, examiners have enough brains to find out where your

    answers come from.. so, at least try to draw diagrams and tabular columns fromtextbooks..

    Use all in one when you wont find the topics in textbook, try to find out answers to allthe questions in all in one from text books.., there is no guarantee for all in oneanswers , follow it at your own risk..

    Use colour pens (no red, no green dude!!) to make your paper more attractive.. Don't

    overdo it so that it becomes a greeting card instead of exam paper!!

    Concentrate on the chapters that are easy for you, but if you have not studied anythingtill today, then try learning the units with less content.. I mean units with less topics..

    *** Important point..

    Almost all examiners come to evaluate scripts for the sake of money, they get 12/- perscript, each bundle contains 40 scripts, so examiner's concentration is to complete the

    bundles in the minimum possible time, your answer script is glanced hardly for a minute,so draw his attention towards the related equations, related diagrams and related side

    headings by using colours or putting them in a box..

    *If you are asked to solve a problem and you have got no idea about it, then at leastwrite the given data, you might be lucky enough to get two marks..

    *Revision is very important.. don't forget to revise everything you read, if not everythingthen at least the diagrams and equations..

    * never leave any question, you are asked to write five questions try to write five, If you

    know only three answers then try to write stuff related to the asked question for theremaining two answers.. In this case, If you write the first three answers from text book,there are more chances of getting good marks as the examiner will be in an impressionthat you are intelligent, thats the reason I asked you earlier to read from textbooks..

    **Do you find it difficult to revise for exams when you have so many subjects and thingsto remember? If the answer is yes, then you are not alone!

    These tips should help.

    1. Find out the exact dates of your exams. You will know how much time you have leftbefore each exam. It might help to draw up a table which includes all your subjects and

    all the weeks you have until the last exam, and then fill in the exam dates.

    2. Prioritise your subjects. If you think you have most to do in networks or that is yourweakest subject then this will be top priority. Put all your subjects in an order from most

    to least important.

    3. Decide on a revision plan which will work for you. How many hours do you need to doof a night? Do you have other commitments you can't get out of? Leave some time forbreaks,meals and free time but ensure you have a good time slot each night for revision.

    4. Fill in your revision timetable in with your subjects, and use your priority list to givethe most important ones more revision time.

    5. Stick to this timetable! speaking from experience, if you decide to focus solely on one

    or two subjects because you think you know the others, you will get a nasty shock. Don'tignore any of the subjects, but ensure you have a balance where your priority subjects

    have the lead.

    6. Begin by revising all the material which you don't know as well. There is no point inbeginning to revise the transistors in electonics if you are pretty confident in it. You mayfind that also prioritising each individual subjects modules or topics helps you. Thereforeif you run out of time you will know that you have definitely revised the hardest stuff!

    7. Actually attempt to remember the material. It sounds stupid but most of the time

    people are tempted to spend all their revision time just reading or writing and assumethat they know it all. Never assume; If you assume you know it without actually testing

    yourself on it then you might get a shock in the exam...

    Never give up - easier said than done.. right, but giving up only makes you more of afailure when you don't get the marks you wanted for your exam. You will always havethe guilt of knowing you didn't try your hardest.

    Everyone learns differently; you just have to discover how is the best way for you. But in

    the end it all comes down to testing yourself, so you can be sure you know it!

    You may not achieve the marks you expected. Know in yourself what you are capable ofachieving so you don't set your targets too high. Don't settle for lower marks than yourability either though, just know your ability and do your best.

    Revision isn't fun - receiving your pass result is.

    Never compare yourself to your friends. They are not you. we are all different. Just doyour best and be happy with that.

    Have faith in yourself and do your best, you will definitely pass with flying colours..

    How To Score High Marks in University Examinations?

    You can easily get 56% to 60% with non-standard text books, but that percentage spoils

    your career. Reading of standard text book means understanding of subject and makes

    you present in different manner.

    According to me Passing of university exams is easy, Scoring high marks are difficult

    Here we are giving scoring tips for u, To increase your percentage

    1) Examination presentation is different from subject preparation. Even you prepared

    from non-standard kind of material that should not reflect in your examination paper

    2) If you answer two or three questions from standard textbook., definitely you can

    understand the way of writing and you will present other two questions in that manner

    (Even though you prepared from non-standard text book).

    3) Draw diagrams from standard (or prescribed) text books because non-standard books

    modifies original figures (Due to copy right problem)

    4) At least prepare three units from standard book (If not possible go for two units)

    5) Better to select small units (eg: Unit VIII of SE, Unit V of Java etc) and prepare all

    units from those units (You need to prepare in such a manner that you can answer any

    kind of question from that unit)

    6) Some of the questions are indirect in nature, identify central point (Crux) of the

    question then start answer.

    7) Your Exam is for 3 hours

    * First 10 minutes are useful to select which questions to answer and use that time for

    plan of action (This process reduces your exam tension)

    * Select best answer that you can present from given 8 questions (16 Marks, both a and

    b are required to answer)

    * Answer that question in 40 minutes

    * Answer remaining four questions (each question in 30 minutes)

    * 10+40+120=170 Minutes

    * Review your answers in last 10 minutes. (Dont go for many corrections)

    * In general, students waste their time in answering first question. It helps you to get

    few marks, because if you answer any other question in that time it helps you to score

    more.

    * Programming kind of question means first explain the problem briefly, write theprogram, give the output and explain the program in detail (or brief based on marks)

    4/7

    * Answering point wise is useful only when you are confident about that answer (All the

    points are from standard book and relevant to the question). Dont give scope for the

    valuer that you missed some points.

    * Usage of underlines and color pens/pencils is based on your preparation (No need toworry about those things)

    8) IMPORTANT: Dont get disappointed or panic if the paper is difficult, use first 10

    minutes to relate your knowledge to those questions.

    9) Paper is difficult means that Set is difficult for all the students, if you attempt that Set

    by relating some points to the questions you will score high.

    Sometimes, students have idea on answer but often they left question,because they dont know how to relate with indirect questions. Let me

    give an example for thisExample:

    Consider SE exam and a student prepared answer for the following questions in Unit

    VIII.

    What is meant by SQA? Discuss in detail SQA activities?

    He can easily answer the question like

    Discuss the importance of quality assurance?

    But, observe the following university question in SE

    Why is there often tension between a software engineering group and an independent

    Software quality assurance group? Is this healthy?

    This question is given for 16 marks, the way of writing for this question is as follows

    1) Define SQA (Software Quality Assurance) ==>1 Mark

    2) Define Software Engineering ==>1 Mark

    3) Explain the SQA activities ==>2 Marks

    4) Explain SE activities ==>2 Marks

    5) SQA vs. SE groups and compare both ==>2 Marks

    6) Tension between and SE group and SQA group ==>6 Marks

    * SE group concentrates on design issues and meeting requirements

    * SQA group concentrates on standards

    and quality factors

    * SE group thinks about clients

    * SQA group thinks about higher management who adopted standards

    * Automatic mismatch between these two group and results for tension

    * This tension reflects in efficiency,estimated time period, team management, affectsrequirements, cost factors etc.

    5/7

    7) Is this healthy? Better to write both pros and cons ==>2 Marks

    8) Conclude your answer -

    Remember if you write only first 5 points you will get 3 to 4 marks, even that score isalso important. If you concentrate only on 6th point you will get marks between 6 and 8

    (even it is main theme). Better to touch up all the points said above, so you will get

    marks between 10 and 14. Only thing to note is planning of answer is crucial.

    Key Points For Scoring Good Marks in JNTU Final Exams

    The below given key points will gain you the good marks in jntu final exams. Thesepoints are gathered from my experience and also my friends experience and we finallygot out with distinction without any single backlog from first to last year.

    I hope these points will help you a lot for gaining the good marks in your final exams.

    The main key point in the final exams is your HAND WRITING. If your handwriting is good then no problem if not then try to write the words clearly andmake sure to keep 3 space gap between each word. Try to avoid making

    mistakes as the evaluator shouldnt get irritated with your paper.

    Another key point is PRESENTATION. It plays vital role in evaluation. along withneat hand writing presentation is also important. Try to write in a point wise

    manner and write them correctly dont bluff in the points as it may give badimpression.

    Another important point is DIAGRAMS. Most of the subjects in all branches

    have diagrams, so draw the diagram first before writing the theory part. Thediagrams should be neat and clear so that it is clearly understood. Most of themarks can be scored in diagrams only.

    If the diagram is too big then draw it in another page instead of drawing inremaining space left in the previous page.

    Use a good pencil to draw the diagrams and do some ruff work before drawingit on the original location to avoid the scratches as well as to improve neatness.

    Some questions doesnt have diagrams we dont find any diagrams in our textbooks or materials so for that kind of questions from the answer that you knowtry to develop a diagram or figure so that the complete diagram portraits the

    whole answer. So that the evaluator doesnt concentrates much on your theorypart.

    If the answer contains any equations then try to write the equations separatelyin the next line and if possible draw a box over it using a pencil.

    For programming languages:

    Most the questions will be given on programs instead of theory. For these typetry to write the program clearly. It is better to confirm the program by doing ruffworks if you are not sure about the program.

    Try to write the program from the next page if you at the end of the previouspage.

    Make sure that your program ends with minimum number of lines.

    For theory type questions use flow chart representations along with theory and

    try to give example program to fetch good marks.

    Tips for gaining pass marks in your exams:

    We cant expect how the JNTU paper comes. Some times students whoprepares well will also unable to answer the questions. But dont fear here are

    some tips If you dont know any of the questions or if you are seeing that type ofquestions first time just read the question carefully you will find some knownwords from that question try to write answer on those words as much as possible.

    The answer should be written at least 3-5 pages

    Your handwriting should be neat and clear

    In programming languages try to write a related program which you know.

    Figures are important in the answers, try to figure out the answer and makesure to draw clearly and neatly.
