· Write answers only to the extent of question. Don't write more un-necessarily.
· As far as possible write answers as points. Answers should be straight to the point and brief
· Don't be in hurry while writing. This spoils handwriting. Even you can't understand what you have written. Examiner will not award any marks as he also can not understand illegible handwriting
· Answers should be written in an attractive manner. Write side headings and underline it. Leave margins on the answer sheet. This will make the examiner relaxed.
· In essay type question paper, pause for a minute between each answer. During this pause, focus on the construction and check the written outline
