To excel in AIOU examinations, adopt effective strategies for solving examination papers. Bring all essential stationery, such as pens and markers, to enhance your confidence. Instead of cramming, dedicate the day before the exam to reviewing material you’ve already studied. This approach reinforces memory retention, reduces stress, and prepares you mentally for the challenges ahead during the examination. By incorporating these essential strategies, AIOU students can optimize their examination performance and achieve their academic goals.
Bring Needed Stationery
Ensure that you carry necessary stationery such as pens, markers, pointers, and scales. Borrowing from others not only undermines your confidence but also wastes precious time, which can affect your exam performance.
Effective Time Management
Examination papers are typically three hours long, usually from 2 PM to 5 PM. Instead of cramming all night, focus on reviewing what you have already studied on the day of the exam to reinforce your memory.
Optimizing Solving Examination Papers in AIOU
Read Questions Carefully
As soon as the exam starts, calmly read the questions rather than making assumptions. Take note of the total number of questions and how many you need to answer. This will help you avoid writing unnecessary or irrelevant answers. Remember, the university has recently made the examination questions more challenging, so prepare thoroughly.
Complete Required Details
After reading the questions, write your name, roll number, exam center number, semester, course code, and any other required details on your answer sheet. Also, write your name and ID on the question paper and attendance sheet. A small oversight at this stage can lead to complications later when results are released.
No Extra Sheets
The university has discontinued the policy of providing extra sheets for answers. Some students mistakenly believe that filling extra sheets creates a positive impression. The sentence “The number of pages in the answer sheet has been increased” contains passive voice. Here’s a revised version of the sentence in an active voice:
Original Text:
Instead, the number of pages in the answer sheet has been increased to meet students’ needs, allowing ample space to complete your answers without needing extra sheets.
Revised Text:
To better meet students’ needs, we’ve increased the number of pages in the answer sheet, providing ample space to complete your answers without needing extra sheets.
Answer Questions in Your Comfort Zone
There is no requirement to answer questions in a specific order. You may begin with the questions you feel most confident about. This strategy will help you allocate your time effectively and enhance your overall performance.
Bilingual in Solving Examination Papers
For large classes where papers are provided in both Urdu and English, there is no need to panic. For example, if an MA History paper’s questions are in English, you can write your answers in Urdu based on your understanding of the questions, and they will be accepted.
Divide Answers Wisely
Distribute your answers evenly across the pages available to you. At the end of each answer, mark a line or note indicating not to continue beyond that point. This practice ensures that your answers are clear and proportionate throughout.
Enhance the Aesthetic of Your Answers
To make your answers more appealing, provide headings for each section. It is not essential just to regurgitate what you’ve memorized; your personal insights and headings can make your answers clearer and more attractive to the examiner. Also avoid leaving excessive blank lines, as consistent writing style is preferred.
Move On Promptly
If you forget something while answering, do not waste time—start the next answer instead. Since you’ve already organized your pages, you won’t be troubled by incomplete answers. Sometimes, the solution may come back to you while answering another question.
Comfort in Examination Centers
Since exams are conducted in government schools where seating can be cramped, a large clipboard or flat surface should be brought to ensure comfort. This will allow you to write without interruptions to your flow.
Stay Focused
Avoid distractions, such as glancing around or helping others during the exam. This can lead to loss of your own paper and potential UMC cases. Remember that the invigilators who may seem lenient in your exam center are often the same who manage other examinations.
Utilize Available Resources
To prepare for your exams, consider using the ready-made solution papers available from Kashan Academy. Further details and sample guess papers are available on their website. Kashan Academy is dedicated to providing guidance and support to students consistently.
