0133------

 

(When I was at home,The children asked me to advise them tide over the problems  ,they normally face during the time of coming examination. Hence,What I shared at home  and earlier is now to be shared with you;more particularly to  the students and those going to appear at the forth coming  competitive examination).

To

All the Students,

More Particularly in Gorakhpur(UP)

Dear Children at Home

“I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the successful competition of your days in either the Vidyalaya or at your Center of  the studies, where I am sure ,you have left no stone un-turned in learning and making the best of your time in  developing your personality. Though we as teachers , might not have been successful to the extent of your cherished dreams and aspirations due to various limitations, but imparting the best of education and preparing you for the forth- coming examination enriched us with the experience of enjoying teaching-learning with you all each and every minute with  the confidence that  "you are the one who will only succeed with brilliant achievements in the coming examination "and no doubt, we wait eagerly and keenly for that moment to be enjoyed with you very soon".

I have found below-mentioned tips which I think, may be useful to you during the course of your preparation for the examination. It is to be remembered that these are simply guidelines and do not carry any guarantee ,for the individual opinion varies and differs from person to person :-

01--------------Work on time with the feeling of Self-discipline. No. of hours spent is not important, But what learnt in time is important.

02-------------Systematic revision of the subject is essentially important. Extra time for Revision of the most important and important with selective intensive studies is found helpful, provided the stretch of the time span is less, otherwise wide selective studies are always welcome.

03------------The total understanding of the chapters prescribed need the through over-hauling  during preparation.

04-----------No Mental stress at all, for the man who wins is the man who thinks he can. This is simply one of the  tests which have been faced earlier too. The no. of the tests appeared at so far fills in the spirit of,”””””I was ever a fighter, so one fight more”

05----------After 60/90 minutes spent in studies  at a stretch ,Break is essential. The scientific tips given include a walk in the room, Standing out for a fresh air, watching a programme of interest, laughter ,drinking something, or eating something tasty or what not, or Lala Hardayal  has said, ”the whole exercise will be like pouring of the water on the ulta (topsy-turvy) pitcher and within minutes leaving a few things retained, everything shall be vaporized………”

06----------Take light food and avoid the fast and junk food. The change of taste after the intervals is no problem.

07----------Light exercises with Yog and pranayam, humor and worship are found helpful in reducing the tension and keeping us alert all the time.

08----------Facts are to be learnt with understanding and sometimes learnt by heart too.

09---------The nature of questions and papers may never disturb, if practiced and tried upon earlier.

10---------The room or place of studies is expected to be airy and with proper light according to the need and adjustment.

11--------Revise the notes or answers of the questions prepared again and again. The constant revision will never let us fail in writing the answers effectively. The feeling of knowing everything and over-confidence in the preparation puts on the back-foot ,for Getting through or succeeding is easy ,but placing oneself  in the list of successful candidates demands no Mistake at all.

12--------The technology has brought a drastic change. During sixties in 19^th century, 90%people took interest in reading the books and writing-practices ‘for being an exact man.’.

But now that no. is reduced to 10%.There is increase in the information ,but other than compulsory necessity. the interest in writing is coming down day by day. For retention properly. this skill is very-very important.

13-------The sound sleep during the examination is a must. The correct posture is suggested here.

14------Scan and skip and also eye-reading keep mind alert and already prepared materials remain afresh. This is just like a running movie , if seen earlier, shall remind everything in the film in a moment .

15------When  ; Read. Revise and express make it easy for better preparation.

16------The hesitation, fear or examination-sickness need not to be figured.

17-------Never be over-excited , when questions prepared earlier seem appearing .Over-excitement sometimes disturbs and the level of confidence is wavered which requires the correct approach .Here ,I found myself the chanting of a favorite mantra ;reduces the tension and diverts the mind.

18------Writing lengthy answers ,if not asked is not encouraging ,until and unless felt otherwise. The nature of the questions needs to be understood.

19------Do not lose time over unnecessary work. The paper setter keeps the time schedule in mind and hardly more time is given for answers to be written.

20-----Be careful in writing the answers. Know the question first.

21----Avoid confusion ,when guess is required. First answer is often found correct. The Sub-conscious mind sort the things learnt earlier.

22-----The copying puts the person under law-breaking activity. Hence, always to be avoided.

23-----10 minute- time with peace is required for the correction which needs to be done only when found with certainty.

24-----Never let your mood go off .Do not think of those problems disturbing you time and again.

25-----After the paper is over. The next paper needs the concentration.
One very striking feature to be stressed here is more or less related to the "Feel cool Temperament".Sitting on the chair and closing behind the study room is found to be very negatively disturbing,For Human life is human ,not a mechanical all the time.Talking,laughing,sharing ,caring ,eating or joking with friends etc. keep everything relaxing and maintaining.Time in the evening in particular or as per one's likes or dislikes invite the inclusion for a few minutes for effective  study qualitatively.

Lastly, You may also share your views to me for further advice .The E-mail address is rbsinghraju@gmail.com. This is purely based on my personal perception and what found helpful during my Examination-days.This ,however,helped me a lot and My name after the graduation figured in the Merit-Lists in every exams ,I appeared at.

It is to be remembered ,as a poet sings

With the best Wishes
