Few minor tips before the Exam

Some tips for Mains Exam:

Since the Exam is as per the schedule i.e from Dec 15th, around 60 hrs left for Exam from now on...

Stop reading new things, revise whatever you have read till today... 

Don't get tensed that you have not read this that... Though tension during exams is unavoidable and difficult to get rid of... since serious candidates would have put efforts for years... Its of no use getting tensed at this point of time,as you might loose writing skills...

Its more important to present whatever you have read than to just remember...hence Just keep yourself cool and renovate your ideas on answer writing...

Get sufficient sleep... i.e don't study till late nights since you have exams in morning as well as afternoon sessions... you should be fresh enough to answer both the papers... 

Before going to the Exam hall make Sure:

You have taken your hall tickets and other things like ID proof or anything if KPSC specified it....

Carry Pen, Extra Pens, Pencils and sharpener,erasers small scale may be needed if you intend to present any diagrams in your answer sheet. Make sure watch works fine... 
Reach Little early to the Exam center, u should not get caught in traffic and other stuff so plan properly.

When you go to the hall... Don't forget to read instructions...Though most of us Ignore it while writing our exams during College days. It is advisable to read the instructions given in Question Paper carefully.... 

When you see the Question paper:

Don't just jump into writing answers...instead have a plan i.e Just take 5 mins to read the question paper and decide to write from the part which you can best represent... since you don't want  to upset the evaluators with lots of strikes off an all right?... So first start with the questions you are confident...and try to write neatly throughout also... 

Just keep a track on your timing and words limit also... you should not miss any question because of lack of time... Specially candidates complain  of time shortage in General studies , so have a plan comfortable to you now by sitting at home... If you have practiced writing earlier will help you to stick to word limit an all...

I am not an expert but could tell you this much... I hope your hard-work pays you with the best colors...

I wish all the candidates who are writing Mains Exam with good luck and health....

Always start with 5 marks questions, they are the key because they are short and u gotta make them sweet. This will best reflect ur ability and Capacity to the evaluator who creates an idea about ur knowledge then and their itself and will provide u with good marks for lenghty answers.
Never start with 30 marks questions, this will spoil the mood of evaluator.
