Hi students My name is Rohit Packard. I'm your friend and coach. We are still in the step six of our nine step signature solution in which we are designing our exam strategies. In this video I will talk about why question goes wrong in exams, you would have seen that you knew the concept you read the question effectively you did the calculation but still the question went wrong. So in this video we will discuss step by step that Why does a question goes wrong in the exams? So let's begin.

So questions and exams can go wrong at four steps. First step of doing question is read question effectively. So you need to put full focus and attention while reading the question. And when you are reading the question, there are two possibilities. Either you read it correctly, or you read incorrectly. Now if you read the question correctly, There are two possibilities, either you interpreted the question correctly or you interpreted the question wrongly.

So, if you read the question incorrectly or if you read it correctly and interpreted it wrongly a question is bound to be wrong. So, only when you read correctly and you have the right interpretation of what the question is saying or what it is expecting, only then there's a possibility of getting the right answer for this question. So, that means the probability for getting question correct at step one is just one by three and probability of question getting wrong at step one is two by three because two options will lead you to Wrong answer and only one option, which is read correctly and right interpretation will leave you and will take you to the right answer. So, once we have done that, once we have read the question correctly with right interpretation, we move to step two which is this On the concept, now here we need to choose the right concept or formula.

So, choosing the right concept or formula again has four steps, step one is go to the right chapter. Now within chapter we have lot of topics then go to the right topic. Now within topic, we have sub topics, so go to the right subtopic and within subtopic, we will have scenarios. So, I will walk you through the example of this in the upcoming slide. But there are four steps of choosing the right concept go to the right chapter, then right topic right subtopic right scenario. Now, if you go to the right chapter, and you don't go to the right topic, you will do wrong.

If you go to the right chapter, you go to the right topic, but you don't go to the right sub topic again, the question will be wrong. If you went to the right chapter, you went to the right topic, you went to the right sub topic, but if you didn't went to the right scenario, again, your question will be wrong. So in step two, if you want to do the question correctly, you have to go to the right Chapter and right topic, right sub sub topic and right scenario. Then comes Step three, which is calculation steps. Now, again there are two possibilities here you either remember the steps the sequence of these steps or you derive. So, it is not recommended that you derive the calculations in your final j means or advanced exam, it's better to remember the steps that means, your practice before those final exam should be such that you remember the sequence of steps.

Now, after you have done that, either you remember or you derive again there are two possibilities. You did all the calculations such as addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, log exponential sign cost and, and exponential and binomial expansion correctly, or you did them wrongly. So, if there is a mistake in these calculations, again, the question would be drunk. So, again, you'll have to be very careful here, and you have to do all these arithmetic Take query correctly then comes to step four which is marking on my sheet Make sure to market correctly so again there are two possibilities you mark correctly or you marked incorrect. So for example if you've got the answer as B make sure that you mark it be on Omar and not C. So now let's look at the example of step two what I meant by going to write chapter right topic right sub topic and right scenario.

So, the example will take care of kind of matrix so chapter name is kind of matrix A topic is motion in a plane, the sub topic is projectile motion. So in motion and a plane you have circular motion also and you have projectile motion also. And for the scenario, so we know that when we study projectile motion, we look at the initial velocity which is whew, and we look at the angle theta, now theta could be could vary from zero to 180. So there are different scenarios here at TT is equal to zero and theta is equal to 90 at t Data is equal to 180. Similarly, I want you to create your entire slavers or divide your entire stables accordingly. So for each of the three subjects that you have either maths, physics, chemistry, or bio physics, chemistry, right all the chapter names on the left column, right, all the topics within each of the chapter.

In the second column in the third column, write all the sub topics within these topics. And in the fourth column write scenarios. So I want you to do this activity for all the three subjects for all the chapters and keep that with you always, after each and every mock exam. whatever questions you do wrongly, identify whether you made mistake at step one, whether you made mistake at step two, whether you made mistake at step three, or whether you made mistake at step four. So for example, in the exam, they were 90 questions let's take example of the mains mock exam. You chose to do 60 questions out of which 50 were correct and 10 were incorrect.

So for those 10 incorrect questions, identify whether the question went wrong. That's step one, step two, step three or step four. So if it was step one from from the next time, we will have to be more careful while reading the question. If it was step two, then open the slavers that you create as per this format chapter topics subtopics scenarios and then see where you not able to go to the right chapter of are you not able to go to the right topic? Or do you not able to go to the right sub topic or were you not able to go to the right scenario? And if it was calculation steps, see whether you took the first step of remembering the steps or you derived it.

So there was error either in the sequence or in the derivation or was the error in the arithmetic or not? And if it was And if it was Step four, then see whether you've marked it correctly or incorrectly. So if the question got wrong at step four, that means you marked it incorrectly. So do a very thorough analysis after each and every mock exam and be conscious of these four steps while solving questions both at home and during exams. Because if you are conscious of these steps, you will make sure that you have read the question effectively, you have interpreted it correctly, you choose the right scenario, you do all the calculation steps correctly with right arithmetic and you mark it correctly. So I expect you to watch this video once again.

And I expect you that you will divide your entire slavers in this format for all the subjects all the chapters, and after each and every mock exam, you will do a thorough analysis at wherever you're not right at and why and what was the reason that the questions went wrong. Or you did some incorrect questions in the exam. So once you eliminate all the incorrect questions that are in the exam that you do in the exam, then you increase on the number of questions you attempt. So if you attempted 60 out of 91st eliminate the questions which you did incorrect. That means the incorrect questions should be minimum, not more than two or three. And then you work to improve the number of questions you attempt from 60 to 65, then 65 to 70, then 70 to 75 and so on.

And hope that you will apply everything the way it is and you will be conscious of all these four steps all the time while doing the questions. Thank you, and all the best
