Some Tips For The AMC MCQ Exam

1. First of all, make sure you have the following 3 things with you :
a. Primary ID (Commonly Passport)
b. Another ID containing your signature (You can take your credit card,
National ID or Driving License)
c. Placement Letter
2. Make sure you are in the centre
starts.

at least 30 minutes before the exam

3. You will not be able to take any drink or chocolate (At least in India, I was not
allowed and the chocolates I took was in locker). But if may help you before
you enter your exam or after the time you left the place.
4. Time Management : Best way is to answer 50 Questions in 60 minutes.
You will get 3 hours and 30 minutes but best if you take some time for
revision or system loss. This is how I managed :
You have your time left

210 minutes
150 minutes
90 minutes
20 minutes

You have to complete your

answers
(shown in your screen)
0 questions
50 questions
100 questions
150 questions

## Before you start your exam, write down your own chart (this one was
my chart) on the page (they will provide a pen and a paper). Once you
press Start.. you are on.. no time for this charts and all that.
5. They knows how to break your nerves. First few questions, most likely, will be
Mastery Questions. I mean Non Scoring Questions. These questions are good
enough to spoil your entire exam. I still do remember, I was completely lost at
the very beginning. You have to face an exam of 150 questions.. so, dont get
that serious. Your dont need to get 150 out of 150.. need around 50% to
pass.. so just keep your head cool and keep going. A lot of questions are still
to come.
6. Dont be judgmental. Every questions carry equal marks and demands your
equal attention. If you are stuck on one question, dont waste too much time
on it. Otherwise it may cost you later.
7. Read the Questions carefully and properly. Read the entire one. Youll get the
answer only if you read the question as a whole. Otherwise you may miss or
confuse with the other options.

8. Always remember, even if you have gone with a lot of recalls, recalls are only
recalls. Dont completely rely on the answers. When you are giving your
exams, answers may change due to some additional new information. Best
way is to go through the topics of the recalls. So that even if the answer
changes, you can figure that out.
9. Always keep yourself updated with the recent exams topics posted on
regular basis in the group during the exam time. During my time, surprisingly
I got few topics exactly the same that I solved the night before my exam.
10.Once your mind says this is the answer, then just go for it. First thought it the
best thought. Try not to change your answer later. Mostly we give the wrong
answer at second attempt.
11.Even if you flag, proceed by marking all the answers. You will pass even if you
give most of them wrong.. but you will definitely fail if you leave any
questions unmarked.
12.Sometimes, you wont be able to answer the questions. Then go for
exclusion method. A,C,D or E can not be the answer.. so the answer maybe
B. This is what I applied and I guess it worked.
13.Dont panic. Its not the End of the World. Its just and exam. Stay confident
and keep your mind stress free.
14.Try to take light foods during your exam day. Try to have a sound sleep the
night before your exam. Take your prayers like you do always and just stay
confident.
15.Keep your bladder empty. It may sounds funny but I saw many candidates
going to toilet consuming their exam time. You wont get any extra time
for this and wont be able to complete. Remember the GFR thing. You drink
more water before your exam..you will get the results few hours later..
And one more thing.. Always have faith upon Allah. If Almighty wishes,
you will pass. If its not on your fate, then theres nothing to do. Just give
your level best, thats the only best thing you can do.

Best Wishes for all of you..

Cheers.
