Why are examination conducted
Try and understand why the professional body is asking for external examinations to be taken. It is because they believe that they must have primary evidence that you know your subject at the level expected of a professional in that field. Examinations are considered by most of the professional bodies to be the only reliable format in assessing the competence of the diverse group of students wishing to be awarded professional status.
Why are examination conducted
Professionals in most sectors now practice in a global environment, and most professional qualifications are available internationally. In order to maintain a high standard of competence, and to guarantee at least a certain standard of professionalism, regardless of where the professional studied or practices, the most effective format is still the external examination. Examiners are looking for evidence that you are sufficiently knowledgeable and competent to be awarded professional status. To demonstrate this, though, you will need to follow one simple rule. That is: answer the question.
Why are examination conducted
What the examiners require you to do is to answer the question that they have asked. It has been designed to give you the opportunity to provide the evidence that you are worthy of that status. If your answer(s) are not focused, do not answer the question, or complete the task, or give a surfeit of information which is irrelevant to the question, you will fail. With the requirements of the Examiners in mind, you should practice identifying what the question is actually asking you to do or to discuss. To do this use past papers, make up your own questions, use the mini-questions and assignments in the coursework. Analyse questions and make notes on how you would answer them, and of course, practice answering them fully.
The Big ³Q´
- How to prepare for the exams - How to deal with the exam pressure - What will be the result
How to prepare for the exams
Guidance from your some senior student is important as there is a lot of theory involved Have regular discussions with friends regarding exam and studies especially on the topics which you fail to understand or lack clarity Selection of correct reference books is an essential prerequisite. Collection of exam oriented notes like suggested answers, notes, etc.
How to prepare for the exams
If possible and comfortable then study alone without interacting with anyone else. But also ensure taking timely breaks in the interim to keep your mind alive and maintain the concentration level Follow a set routine of study and don¶t get distracted with the things happening around deviated and
Having sound knowledge of the course content is very essential so a basic R&D / knowledge updation through research and search about the course contents / latest updates is very essential
How to prepare for the exams
Figure out your comfort level with the subjects ± Focus more on what you are not comfortable with and get acquainted / familiar with the subject. At the same time don¶t ignore subject which you are confident about. Keep revising them as well. Time allocation for subject / chapter / revision is critical. Set a time line and most importantly stick to them Design an exam schedule as well as prepare a list of important chapters.
How to prepare for the exams
Proper and prolific utilization of time is really essential. Allocate/Assign time for each subject / chapter / paper for revision. Remember, it is the quality and not the quantity of study that is important. Understand and examine the current exam/paper pattern. Good understanding of exam/paper pattern helps in strategizing the questions to be attempted first.
Revision
? The point of revision is to consolidate the knowledge and understanding gained during the course of study and to reshape it into material that can be used effectively to answer the questions in the examination. Revision is a stage that needs planning for. Planning properly means that you need a revision plan, a timetable of activities which will result in you being prepared for the examination itself. When to start revision, how long to allocate, will depend on the nature of the preparation. However, if, as with many professional examinations, each group requires two or three examination to be taken over a few days, then perhaps a month of revision would be more appropriate.

Revision
? ? How much to revise will again depend on the nature of the preparation. Don¶t try to recall or memorize the whole course content. Concentrate on preparing for questions about the main themes, the key topics, the most important areas of knowledge. To help you with this, ask advice from your tutors, look for clues in past papers, revisit the syllabus and look for the main topics there. Your revision plan will also be influenced by personal factors such as family, social, and work commitments. You will need to balance the demands of preparation and the importance of the success in the examinations, against these competing demands. You are studying for professional examinations, hence you will need to give these priority during the revision period, and reap the benefits at a later stage in your career.
?
?
Revision
? During the last few days before the examination itself, finalize your revision, but leave room for other, equally essential activities. These include confirming practical factors such as travel arrangements, access to the examination room, timings, materials that you need to take in with you. Also, give careful consideration to your general well-being, and try to eat and drink healthily, find time for relaxation, take exercises, and obtain sufficient sleep. Being in good physical condition will add to your chances of success. The key to success in examinations is to be prepared. It is not sufficient to focus only on studying and revising, as for most mature students the examination experience is not one that they are highly practiced in. Taking examinations should be treated as a major project that needs careful planning and execution. The largest contributor to success in examinations is the preparation, not in the actual writing of answers to the examination questions. Be prepared and you will be successful.
?
At the exam
? Before you answer any individual question, you should spend a few minutes, at least, on preparing your answer. This is to give structure to it, and to ensure that you will cover the main points. For each question, read it carefully and identify what the question is actually asking you to write about (remember the advice on what the examiners are expecting). List the key points that you intend to write about. The questions will always be based on material that you have studied on the course, so once you are certain that you understand what the question is asking of you, you can use your knowledge of the course materials to add points that you need to cover.
?
At the exam
? Don¶t fall into the trap of writing about everything you can think of related to the topic. Only give information relevant to answer the specific question being asked. In other words, stick to the point. Finally, don¶t forget that in discussion answers you should show a clear structure: an introduction, the main discussion and key points, and a conclusion. If it is a calculation answer such as in accountancy examinations, present your answer in the required format. As with discussion questions, incomplete answers can still gain valuable marks, so don¶t despair if your calculations are not perfect.
?
At the exam
? Read the Question paper as soon as you receive the same. After you have completed your reading of the paper and decided which question you will answer, allocate time per question according to the marks allocated to each question. If, as you near the end of the examination period, you are certain that you will not be able to answer the final/all question in full, change to a bullet point format, making clear notes on the key points that you would have discussed in more depth. Often this will gain you a few marks, as most examiners understand that perfect timing is not likely under examination conditions.

Techniques to be prepared
For the battlefield called EXAMS
What happens in the battlefield
? A commander needs to think through various aspects during planning. In complicated operations, missing elements can be disastrous. ? To avoid the disaster, the military uses a framework informally named with the acronym ³Z-Kitbag"
Learning for the tool ³Z-Kitbag´
? This tool is several centuries old. ? The sequence that the briefing follows also plays an important role. Each part of the sequence is relevant and therefore paying special attention to each aspect is important. ? It is but one of the many lessons that one can learn from the military.
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? Z - Zamini Nishan
- Don¶t get hyper and get carried away with things - Stay calm and focused - Don¶t get over confident - Gaps in knowledge can cause lead to taking wrong decisions - People who don¶t know their limits finish up in areas which are not their domain
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? K ± Khabar
- Stay connected with the happenings of yourself and the outer world - SWOT Your Strength, Weaknesses Opportunities, Threats - What kind of weapons you have i.e. how are you going to prepare - What resources you have i.e. what are the preparation stuff available
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
?
I - Irada or aim
± Determination / Goal ± Clearly defined objective that needs to be achieved within a certain time frame. ± Repeat and recheck your goal from time to time and recite it ²a practice that is many times forgotten. ± Motivate yourself to achieve your goal
³Its never too late to follow your dreams, Motivate yourself and show the world who you are..´
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? T ± Tariqa
± Strategy during the preparation stage as well as during the exams ± Details of where, when and how the mission will be accomplished ± in this case the exams ± What time to devote to what subjects and how to prepare.
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? B - Bandobast
± Adequate resources i.e. less portion in option and thorough with the subject ± Mentally prepared for the exam ± Adequate Sleep and Food ± Avoiding last minute studying ± Mindset prepared well to accomplish the mission
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? A - Administration or logistics
- Plan your activities - Proper stationery i.e. pen (s), calculator, watch, etc. - Calculation of approximate time required to reach the centre to avoid last minute rush - The time that will be required to complete the paper and then review it
³Z-Kitbag´ explained
? G - Ghari Milao
± Synchronization - Go with the time ± Adhere to your schedule. Deviate to the minimum ± Aligning terms ³as soon as possible´ or ³immediately´ - these means different things to different people.
These skills can be learnt in about half an hour and applied to pretty much everything for a lifetime.
