POST - TEST ANALYSIS
1. Try to complete the test within1.30 - 1.45 hours. Don't wait till the last minute to attend the questions.
2. After checking the answer key and finding out the marks, whatever the marks might be , don't feel overwhelmed or underwhelmed. This is not the final marks.
3. Then, go by each and every question.
Things to look out for -
* Why you got this question right/ wrong
* If you got the question wrong , is it because of knowledge gap , silly mistake, or partially known statements.
* If you got the question wrong by knowledgeable gap or silly mistake, be careful and try to avoid it later in next tests.
* If it's because of partially known statements, then don't worry, take it as a learning solution.
* Even if you got the question right, although you were not 100% sure of the answer, take notes of the solution in your own material/source/notes.
4. Make a table - 100 question numbers in the row. In the column, add these - KG ( knowledge gap) , silly , partially known (50-50) , total guesswork.
5. In this, you mark down your answers accordingly in the table. Find out, where is the most negative marking going to.
* If it's silly mistake, then you need to practice more. Give tests everyday.
* If it's knowledge gap, partially known statements or total guess work , then take down the notes from the solution for these questions and try to add it your own notes/material / source.
This process will help you in several ways as mentioned below :
- no need to take the question paper and revise it again.
- when revising a topic, you will be recalling the value addition from test series too.
- no last minute hassles of seeing the lengthy solution booklets.
- easy photographic memory.
- wholesome topic wise revision. No need to search separately for value addition.
- less errors of getting the same question wrong in later upcoming tests.
This process is the easiest and takes only another 1.30 -- 2 hours at most.
You need not revisit the question paper or the solution for reviewing again.
All will be organised at one place.
