What all to do in an exam hall: Key tips for students

1. Reach the centre on time

All students must wake up early on exam day. Have breakfast, get ready, and leave the home well in advance. This will help you to reach the exam centre in time. At the exam centre, you have to do many formalities such as checking, searching for the right exam hall, etc. So make sure to reach on time.

In the case of online education exams, start your computer or device at least 15 minutes before the actual time only. This will prevent any kind of delay and difficulty.

2. Have a look at the rules and instructions chart

Every exam centre makes a list of rules and regulations that all students have to follow. Not sticking to exam policies and guidelines lead to strict actions taken against students. On your Admit Card only, you can find these guidelines.

Also, outside the exam hall, the list of the instructions is pasted. So make sure that you have a look at it. In case of any confusion, you can ask the invigilator or the examiner.

3. Go through the question paper properly in the reading time allocated

To attempt the paper properly, students should first go through the whole paper. The teacher gives you 15 minutes initially which is known as the reading time. Once you get the question paper in hand, don’t let nervousness and stress make you lose the available time given.

Take a deep breath and start reading the questions. One by one, go through the whole question paper. See what all you know properly and what is hard to recall. Develop a time strategy, which will help you to wind up the paper timely.

4. Don’t lend a hand to others in the exam hall

In exams, honesty is very important. Asking for help from others or helping others with answers, both mean cheating. And this must be avoided for sure. If caught cheating, students‘ marks are deducted and in the case of the Board or competitive exams, the students caught cheating are debarred from the exam.

Other than cheating practices, even helping others with the pencil, pens, and stationary needs to be avoided. All students must keep in mind to ask the examiner when facing any difficulty or trouble. Stay focused on your answer sheet only. Avoid getting distracted by others.

5. Stay calm and do your best

While doing an exam, there are chances that you might face some questions that are hard, and difficult to recall and solve. This creates a sense of panic and stress in students. Panic can lead to more confusion and mistakes. So avoid doing this.

Don’t get stuck on these questions only. First, attempt the questions that you know properly. Once done with this, in the remaining time, come to the questions that are left. Now calmly think of the relatable content you can write. Stay calm, give your best, and don’t worry about anything else.

Few points to remember before submitting the answer paper

1. Revise your answers

To ensure that you submit the paper effectively and accurately, revision is very important. All students should try to wind up the paper timely, and make out at least 15 minutes for revision. Re-read the answers and make necessary corrections wherever required.

2. See that all sheets are arranged orderly

When the exams are lengthy or detailed, students take additional answer sheets. Before submitting the paper, make sure to tie all the answer sheets using a thread or staple them. The answer sheets should be arranged orderly only. If you don’t maintain order, mistakes, confusion, and facing difficulty in checking the answers may happen at the teacher’s end.

3. Recheck your details

On the answer sheet, the name of the applicant, roll number, admission number, class, section, and exam name needs to be mentioned properly. If you take additional sheets, student details need to be written on them too. So before submitting the paper, do check that your details are written.

4. In case of online exams, see all MCQs have been marked or not

Today, online modes of examination are increasing rapidly. In the present pandemic times, exams have been conducted in online format only. When doing the paper through an online classroom app, check whether you have marked all the multiple-choice questions or not. By chance if anything is missed, rechecking will help you to make necessary corrections.

Conclusion
