line of the chapter. So, strong command
on theory will increase your chances to
solve objective questions correctly and

requires you to be familiar with the
question format, so continuous practice
will make you more efficient in solving
MCQs
Speed & Accuracy
In MCQ-based examination, you need
both speed and accuracy, if your
accuracy is good but speed is slow then
you might attempt less questions
resulting in low score.
Attempting MCQs in Exams
1. Read the paper from beginning to
end & attempt those questions first in
which you are confident. Now move
on to those questions which requires
thinking and in last attempt those
questions for which you need more
attention.
2. Read instructions of objective
questions carefully and find out what
is being asked,
a bit carelessness can lead you to
incorrect answer.
3. Tick/Write down the correct option
only while filling the OMR sheet. Step

first and take out the least possible one
and repeat the process until you reach
the correct option.
Analyze your Performance
During the practice of MCQs you can
identify your weak & strong
topics/chapter by analyzing of incorrect
answers, in this way you will get an
awareness about your weaker topics.
Practice through Sample Papers
Solving more & more papers will make
you more efficient and smarter for
exams. Solve lots of Sample Papers
given in a good Sample Papers book.
by step solution is not required in
MCQ type questions, it is a waste of
time, you will not get extra marks for
this
4. Most of the time, you need not to
solve the MCQ completely to get the
correct option. You can start thinking
in reverse order and choose the best
fit option.
5. As there is no negative marking for
incorrect answers, so don't leave any
question unanswered. Use your
