There is no negative marking in the paper, so don't leave any questions blank. In the end, to all the questions that you marked as "not know the answer", fill in the most probable answer.
5. Practice Filling the OMR Sheet.
This is the most crucial phase while answering the OMR sheet-based exam. Students usually do errors and thus are left with poor performance even if they know all the answers. Some common errors are as follows:
I. Some students mark all answers in the question paper and then at the end run short of time to mark them in OMR sheet.
II. Some students mark the answers simultaneously but forget to skip the bubble of the OMR Sheet where they leave the question and hence end up in marking wrong answers.
III. Some students in hurry, mark the wrong option in the OMR even when they know the correct answer.
So, here we suggest the right approach to mark the answers in the OMR sheet. Divide the question papers into 3-4 parts. Like, attempt the first 15 questions, write their answers on paper and then mark them in OMR cautiously. Then, pick the next fifteen questions and repeat the activity and so on. For the last lot, mark answer one by one.
All 10th and 12th Grade students would be appearing in Objective type exams for the first time. Hence, all the tips mentioned in the article will be of immense use. We suggest students to do repetitive cycles of revision and exhaustive practice by attempting sample papers to get excellent score in the TERM 1.
