2.        Stay calm while seated waiting in the examination hall


When you get seated in the examination hall, there is this eerie feeling of 

uncertainty hovering over the candidates. Even if you have used similar past 


questions to prepare adequately, you can’t escape it. 

Not until the question papers are dropped on the desk, and you’re asked to 


start, the feeling never disappears. You must learn to stay calm while seated 


waiting in the examination hall. 

Remain positive in thoughts believing that what is contained in the question 


paper must reflect the topics in the syllabus used to prepare for the tests. 

Never give room for doubts or negative thoughts to occupy your mind because 


it may begin like a simple feeling that will refuse to go when you no longer 


have space to keep it on. 

It then will permeate your inner mind hanging over your feelings, trying to use 


difficult questions on the question paper to harass you. Then the next move 


would be to subtly remind you that all is not well, even if you were adequately 


prepared for the test.

3.      Read through all questions once instructed to start

Once asked to start, read through the instructions carefully to avoid 

committing errors in choosing questions. Read through the questions one by 


one and mark the easiest ones with three stars (***), middle difficulty with two 


stars (**) and most difficult ones with one star (*). 

If the number of easiest questions completes the required number to be 


chosen in theory questions test, go ahead and work on them. Don’t try to 


prove any sense to the examiner by dabbling into solving difficult questions no 


matter what you feel.

Divide the remaining time after reading through by the number of questions to 


get average time to spend per question. This is not a rigid rule so be flexible 


enough in its application.

4.     Write down ideas as points as you remember them

Create a rough work column on the right hand side of your answer paper or 

use the last page for that purpose. Write down the ideas as points as many as 


you can remember them. 

Rearrange them in order of importance and begin to expand each point to 


complete your answer. This technique can surprisingly earn you high marks. 

Remember to cross out the jottings in your rough work column to avoid 


confusing the examiner.

Repeat the process to answer all the selected questions. Keep an eye on the 


time limit per question, even though this technique guarantees fast track 


solution. You will be left with excess time for more difficult questions at the end.

5.      This Technique for Solving Objective Questions

We shall apply the same technique above to solve objective questions but in a 

slightly different way. First read all the questions even if there are one hundred 


or more. Never panic to prevent psychological breakdown occasioned by fear 


or going blank in the exam hall. 

Use three stars, two stars and one star to identify cheapest, cheap and hard 


questions respectively. Why read through all the objective questions? Simple, 


as you read through the questions you recall faster and identify the ones you 


know very well. When you return to answer them, all the ones you know very 


well will take you less time to answer than difficult ones. You will have more 


time to play around with the tough questions later.
