29. MCQs
• Mock tests
• Timing
• To pick up speed of answering.
• Only after finishing the textbooks.

30. MCQs Answering
• Understand clearly how and where the
answers are to be marked.

31. MCQs
• Understand whether there is any negative
marking system for incorrect answers.
This is quite common in many competitive
exams.
• If you do not understand the question
properly look at the answer choices to
make the meaning of the question.

32. MCQs Answering
• If two answer choices are almost alike and
confuse you, look at the question again and
get some clues.
• You may follow elimination method of
answering and then make a calculated guess,
when there is no negative marking system.
• Even in a negative marking system you may
take a chance if say out of 4 choices you have
already eliminated two choices and you are
deciding one from the balance two choices left.

33. MCQs Answering
• If you are at guess work in answering a
question without any clue, the longest
response is correct answer in many
cases.
• Another tip is normally choice ‘C’ is less
risky than other blind choices.

34. MCQs Answering
• If you are not able to settle on the correct
choice immediately, mark the question
and come back later on rather than
spending too much time.

35. MCQs Answering
• Having attempted the choice, if you get
confused and think that some other
choice should have been made, you can
change the answer.
• However if you are equally uncertain
about both the answers do not change
the choice and keep the original answer
as the correct choice.

36. MCQs Answering
• While attempting answers pay special
attention to the words like ‘none’, ‘not’,
‘never’, ‘all’, ‘always’ etc.

37. MCQs Answering
• There is a possibility of some questions
carrying multiple answers like ‘all the
above’ or ‘none of the above’.
• For the first choice all previous answers
choices must be correct and for the
second choice all the previous choice
answers have to be incorrect.

38. Ask
• If you don’t know, Ask !
• If you are unsatisfied, Ask !
• If you want to accomplish a goal, Ask !
• If you are confused, for good counsel, Ask !
• If you desire to communicate, Ask !
• When you expect good things in life, Ask !

In the beginning, the Pencil Maker spoke
to the pencil saying,
"There are five things you need to know
before I send you out into the world.
Always remember them and you will
become the best pencil you can be."

61. You will be able
to do many great
things, but only
if you allow
yourself to be
held in
someone's hand.

62. You will experience a painful
sharpening from time to time, but
this is required if you are to become
a better pencil.

63. You have the
ability to
correct any
mistakes you
might make.

64. The most
important
part of you
will always be
what's inside.

65. No matter what the condition, you
must continue to write. You must
always leave a clear, legible mark no
matter how difficult the situation.

66. Now replacing the place of the pencil
with you; always remember them and
never forget, and you will become the
best person you can be.

67. The pencil understood,
promising to remember,
and went into the box
fully understanding its
maker's purpose.

68. You will be able to
do many great
things, but only if
you allow yourself
to be held in God's
hand. And allow
other human
beings to access
you for the many
gifts you possess.

69. You will experience a painful
sharpening from time to time, by going
through various problems, but you'll
need it to become a stronger person.

70. You will be able to correct mistakes
you might make or grow through
them.

71. The most important
part of you will
always be what's on
the inside.

72. On every surface you walk, you must
leave your mark. No matter what the
situation, you must continue to serve
God in everything.

73. Everyone is like a pencil...
created by the Maker for a unique and special
purpose.
By understanding and remembering, let us proceed
with our life on this earth having a meaningful
purpose in our heart and a relationship with God
daily.
