Strategy for Prelims

Strategy for Prelims

Now, let’s take only paper 1!!! Assuming that you get qualified in paper 2; how many right questions (net) you need in paper 1?! 60?!

Yes sir

Now, this 60, is a net number. Means its addition of both your positive and negative answers?

How many negative answers will be equivalent to one positive answer?!

3 negative = 1

And each positive answer gets how many marks?

2

So, 60 positive questions will include the addition of net negative answers too!!

It means, you should have 60 right answers with you, assuming wrong answers are zero!!

Yes sir

Great!!

Ok, now when you get to solve 18 papers, try 3 strategies, one strategy for each 3 papers.

Strategies:

Strategy A: Just do only the questions that you are 100% sure. Let’s see how many you are able to get.

Strategy B: Just do maximum guess. (We will have separate class on OPTIMIZATION of guessing!)

Of course, this is sure shot questions plus max guess!!

Strategy C: Sure shot + OPTIMIZED guesses.

Okay sir, that would make us find out where we are good at were we go wrong.. 😊😊 Good idea

Exactly!!

So, first 9 papers, you will test the strategy!!

And next 9 papers you will stick to that and see how many marks you get!!!

Because, each of you will do BEST in any of the three strategies!! It's a multiplication of two factors: how much you studies how smart you are in guessing!!!

Which strategy suits you best?! Can be found by this!!!

Some of you may be quite bad in making guesses. It could be due to any reason, starting from how your brain is wired, till your worry on the exam date!!!!

Some of you may be quite logical and good in making guesses, and less mistakes!!!

Some of you may be a good mix of both!! That’s why it’s VERY IMP that you DISCOVER, what works best for you!!!!😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

And this experiment can be done, SUCCESSFULLY, only when you have a question paper that is CLOSEST to the REAL paper!! That’s how we were here with RAG method!!!

That’s why; we have to come to this stage, to check your strategy!! Anything else would have given you wrong conclusions!!!!

Imagine you testing this experiment with a mock paper, which is far away from the real paper! E.g.: you take a mock only on science topic!! Your results will be skewed depending on how well you know that subject or how well you can guess!!!

But, the result can be depended upon!!!! Am I right?!😀

Yes sir.

That’s why we made you to work and work, and solve mocks, and refine it to such extent that, you now stand here: READY to do this experiment to find out what STRATEGY works BEST for you!!!😀😀😀

That’s why we made you to work and work, and solve mocks, and refine it to such extent that, you now stand here: READY to do this experiment to find out what STRATEGY works BEST for you!!!😀😀😀

So, you keep 60 as your target!!

Or if you are bent on making guesses, and then make compensation for that!! Means, you need to make at least say, 65 or 70 right answers!!!

But, it’s very imp that you decide it!!! How many right answers I need to get?! And how many negatives I can afford?!

These two are very imp decisions u can take!!

e.g.: I will say: I need to do 63 right answers, and afford 6 wrong answers!!

Each of you needs to take this decision!!

You can optimize the guessing based on this!!
