Incorrect Calculations In hurry students tend to do even the basic calculation wrong. It is true for almost every subject in which calculations are involved. As a result of the wrong calculation you get wrong result and thus, you keep wasting time in looking for the step from where it all initiated. To avoid this make sure that you do your rough work well. 3
Tables and Diagrams We all know that how important is to draw diagrams and tables especially in biology, physics and maths etc. The diagrams are to be made as clear as possible and most importantly should be labeled well. Incomplete diagrams will leave your answer nowhere and you will end up losing marks. 4
Wrong Nomenclature Topics which require remembering tough names are a problem for students. There are subjects such as biology in which you will have to stick to the language or definition mentioned in the book, you can’t use your own language to explain things. 5
Reading Instructions Instructions are a must before you move further to answer any question. All special conditions and intricate details are mentioned in the instructions itself so if you miss than you may miss out something really crucial. Double check the instructions and then proceed further. 6
Paragraph Way of Answering This way of writing is not good rather one should avoid writing long paragraphs. On the contrary writing in points is a better way. Underlining the heading and main points is also a good strategy. Moreover, the length of the answer depends upon the marks of the question. 7
Formulae Mentioning In subjects who involve numerical formulae is important. Make sure the formulae written should be correct even if the answer is coming out to be incorrect.

Ignoring the Basics Achieving the final answer should not be the only goal. Lot of steps is involved while answering the question. The basics should never be ignored as steps involved in solving a question are important.
