Exam Day Guidelines for RRB NTPC Aspirants

1. As soon as you receive the question paper, read through it carefully and understand the possibilities and the number of questions that you can solve.
2. Do not panic if you see anything new. Attempt the questions that you are confident about.
3. Make a timeline for each section. Do not overspend time on any question/section that is difficult for you. These ones can be looked at the last. First, cover the ones that you can solve.
4. First, read the question and then recollect all that you have studied in that concept- formulae and theorems related to it.
5. If you can figure out how to solve a difficult question, go for it. If you can’t figure out how to solve it in less than a minute, skip that question for now.
6. Remember that you only have a minute to answer a question.
7. So, instead of wasting time, try answering some easy questions first.
8. Always remember that time management is very critical in such exams.
9. You can answer such complicated questions later.
10. Solving 70-80% of questions correctly is preferable to solving 100% of questions correctly.
11. Not only does answering more questions take more time, but it also has an impact on your final score owing to negative grading.
12. Check for the unsolved questions at the end of the paper. If you have time, try to solve only if you can recollect the concepts. Leave it if you are too unsure. This can impact your score due to a negative marking system.
