 Tips for Mathematics-I

External Examination.
1. From the list of important questions given to you , first prepare the questions
with 3 stars, then questions with 2 stars, then questions with 1 star.
2. Write the formulae of each unit separately in one place and frequently revise
that. Also revise it before going to examination.
3. First complete each important model question of every unit and then do similar
problems given in the list of important questions.
4. In the answer script write in neat and good handwriting.
5. In the examination first attempt the question which you are fully confident.
6. After completing the solutions which you are confident then attempt other
questions (As order is not required)
7. With every solution never miss to write question number.
8. Give some space between two solutions.
9. Do not start a solution at the end of the page.
10. Attempt all the required number of questions.
11. If you know even one step of a solution then attempt that question.
12. Mange the time from the beginning of the exam as you have only two hours of
time.
13. Do not answer extra questions unless you answer required number of questions.
14. In Part-A you have to answer any 5 questions out of 10 questions.
15. In Part-B you have to answer any 4 questions out of 7 questions.
