SSC English 1st Paper Model Question-11
Time: 3 hrs Full
Marks-100
Part A: Reading Test (40 Marks)
Strategy is an appropriate word
to use for your approach to the examination on the day.It has been said that
about 50 per cent of your chances of success relate to your examination skill
rather than to your subject knowledge. So check and double check your exam
dates and times. Check what you are allowed and what you are not allowed to
take in with you and have these ready the day before. Budget your time. Do not
waste time elaborating adequate answers if you ought to be moving to the next
question. Always attempt to answer all the questions.
Follow the instructions. It is a
good idea to double check this before the exam. Read through the whole question
paper before starting to write. Take each question as you come to it and think
you might cope with it. Then move on to the next question and do the same
again. By the time you get to the last question, you will have found the
questions easier than they seemed at the first glance. Spend at least five
minutes per question thinking about and planning your answer. This is never a waste of time.
Underline the keywords in the questions that indicate what
you are required to do. Again it is useful halfway through writing the answer,
to check that you are doing what you should. Make your answer legible. You
can't change your handwriting but if it is very tiny or very large use double
spacing to make it easy on the eye for the reader.
