TIPS AND TRICKS:

Often Heard Complaints Of Students for Business studies:  

• "I Learn Only To Forget."
• " How Will I Remember All The Points".
• "Before Exam Time I Am Blank And Don't Remember Anything"

1)         During the reading time of 15 minutes, read every question on the question paper carefully and check out the marks alotted to each question. Plan and organise the answers in your mind . There shall be no internal choice provided in any question ( 1, 3, 4 ,5 and 6 markers)

2)        In a question with words like 'Enumerate', 'Outline’, ‘State’ or 'List', write explanatory points.

3)        For 1 markers-write answer in one or two lines; for 3 markers-write three points.(with explanation);for 4 markers -write 4 points.(with explanation);for 5 markers-write 5 points.(with explanation) and for 6 markers-write 6 points.(with explanation).

             Explanation of each and every point should not be more than 3 sentences(Where the number of points are specifically mentioned, give only that many)

4)        Try to give headings as given in N.C.E.R.T or as given by teacher.

5)         Attempt all questions and write and explain whatever you know rather than leaving question completely.

6)         Have at least 5 minutes at the end for revision.

7)         Give examples wherever possible; especially in questions of Differential Piece wage system, Trading on Equity etc.

8)         Read the questions thoroughly before answering. Leave the questions you are unsure about for the end.

9)         Start the answer from the extract given in the question for clarity.

Eg: question:  “Internal sources of recruitment are better than external sources” Explain any five reason in support of this statement.(5 Marks)

Ans: Internal sources of recruitment are better than external sources in following respects:

(Write 5 points with explanation)

10)       In question where the process or the steps are asked   , write all points , be it is for 3, 4, 5 or 6 marks (explanation varies according to marks)  and follow the proper sequence.

11)       In questions like……     “Directing is the heart of management process” Do you agree? Give at least four reasons in support of your answer.(5 Marks)

Start answer with a view

Ans: Yes, I agree that Directing is the heart of management process. The reasons are   : (Write 5 points with explanation)

12)       'Distinguish' or 'Differentiate' questions should always be written in a tabular form preferably providing a basis column.

13)       If possible give the diagrammatic representation of answer .Example: Scalar Chain, Communication Networks   , Controlling  process , Functional structure ,Divisional structure etc.

14)       Business studies is a scoring subject, but you have to stress on presentation;

• Try to write answers in points rather than writing long paragraphs
• Underline important parts and headings of answers or use highlighter or black pen (do it simultaneously while writing answers)-Do not leave this for end
• Do write question number clearly and strictly tallying with the question paper.
• Follow a serial order. You may also follow the reverse order i.e. attempt 6 marks questions first, then 5, 4, 3 and 1 markers.
• Leave one line after every point in answer
  .     If possible give the diagrammatic representation of answer

15)       For learning and preparing subjects:

• Do the course consistently rather than finishing it and leaving it
• If you write down the points after learning you will retain better.
• Start your studies well in advance, moving from simple to difficult concepts.
• A thorough base makes it easier to assimilate information. Jumping immediately to processes and applications just because they carry more marks may not be fruitful if you are confused about basic concepts.
• Acronyms may be used to make learning easier. For eg: to learn elements of Promotion mix(Marketing) Acronyms :APPS (Advertising, Personal Selling, Public Relations ,Sales Promotion)
• Jot down the main points on separate sheets and go through those rather than the entire book.

16)       Divide your time between the very short and very long answers so that you have enough time to attempt all questions.
