Chapter 14
Mark system
Every examiner is always in hurry to assess answer
sheets. Within a minute or two. Your fate is decided within minutes. Your
effort of 365 days is valued in just minutes. You will get marks on what you
write. If examiner did not find what they want in answer sheet. If do not speak
his (examiners) language .if you do not write what he want he will star
deducting or will not give you mark at all. The following should be kept in
mind while writing answer:
1. LANGUAGE: every subject has its language.
For law subject students the language is different. For English subject
the language is different. For economics subject the language is different. for
math subject it is altogether different ,scientific language (language for
science subject is also different. You have write answers in your subject
language. If you write science paper with geography language, there is least
possibility you will get least marks.
Because examiner is subject expert &has
taught the same subject (science in our case ) since many years of
teaching science has become his habit &his mind has accepted the
science language . it becomes his language & hence he is familiar with
the science language. When such shoddy exam paper comes before him he immediately
recognize that examinee is not proficient in science subject & gather
bad impression about the exam paper hence start deducting marks &
this the reason why you will get less marks. This is true for all board
& international, national level exams
Solution: 1. read the textbooks of different
author on same subject in your same discipline. Read,underatand
,analyse,intereprete,get gist on how, what, why, where they have written
particular word, sentences, paragraph, chapters etc.. by continuous reading gradually
& following the memory method given in this book ( i.e. Think
like subject. Think in subject. Understand subject from subject point of view
Behave like a subject. Talk like subject & talk in subject, speak
like subject, sleep like subject, then subject will be yours & you are
like subject.)
2. The first
step is your preparation of answer. In the second step write answer in answer
sheet which should be precise &relevant in context
3. In answer
there should be easy flow of words & sentences -concepts.
4. Each word
is connected with another word in. Each sentence is connected with other
sentences. Each paragraph is connected with another paragraph. There should be
even paragraph i.e. if first paragraph consist of 7 sentences second paragraph
should also consists of 7 sentences so on. This rule will not be applicable to
introduction &conclusion So that the whole answer looks
like coherent. Harmonious, meaningful, relevant, effective, efficient &
does not appear like patches.
5. Presentation:
it includes
a.
reasonable
handwriting i.e. it can be readable & doest not create irritation on
part of examiner
b.
there
should not be spelling errors in answer
c.
format of
answer I
i.
Introduction
in two lines ii. Main body consists of relevant definition, explanation,
examples, maturity, and intelligence etc iii. conclusion in one or two line
d. Neat & clean answer sheets.
6. justice
to length & breadth of answer according to marks allotted. there should
be fair justification for length of answer for different marks for, ex if you
write one whole page answer for 5 marks question & half page
answer for 7 marks question this not justified. It shows examinee did not have
sufficient material for that particular answer hence examiner will deduct
marks.
