🚨 Top 5 Mistakes That Cost You Marks

❌ 1. Ignoring the Exam Pattern & Weightage
Many students don’t study past year’s papers or the latest exam pattern, which leads to surprises in the exam hall.

Solution: Analyze past papers and focus on high-weightage topics.

❌ 2. Poor Time Management in the Exam
Ever found yourself rushing in the last 15 minutes? Not planning your time can leave questions unanswered.

Solution: Practice full-length mock tests in a timed setting.

❌ 3. Writing Lengthy & Irrelevant Answers
Many students write everything they know instead of answering precisely.

Solution: Write to the point, highlight keywords, and structure your answers properly.

❌ 4. Weak Conceptual Understanding
Memorizing without understanding can lead to silly mistakes.

Solution: Focus on concept-based learning and clear your doubts regularly.

❌ 5. Skipping Revision & Self-Testing
Reading notes isn’t enough! If you don’t test yourself, you’ll forget concepts.

Solution: Take regular chapter-wise & full syllabus tests to boost confidence.
