    During my engineering days, we all were convinced that the number of marks you obtain in any exam was directly proportional to the number of supplements (extra sheets of papers) to the main answer-sheet. I've personally had that experience, when I wrote more, I scored more marks. But when I got everything 'to the point' and even had left a few pages blank (saved several trees in the process, I guess) in my 36-page answer sheet, my score would go down by a huge margin.

    We used to think that the lecturer would form an impression about the candidate whose answersheet he/she's evaluating. More the number of supplements, more would be the 'knowledge' => more marks.

    I used to think same at first, that filling maximum supplements will help me reach the top, but nope that didn't work.I scored more marks with no extra supplementary than that of 5-6 extra supplements.

    There are tactics to suck more marks :
    - Fool the faculty .How ?
    Develop the habit of writing in good handwritings, yeah it is "must" needed.People says good handwriting doesn't helps, that's not true. Beautiful handwriting always have positive impact on answer checker.

    Paper should be neat & clean, even you have made mistake in spelling or writing a wrong equation, don't ever scratch it !! By scratching it, you yourself are pointing your own mistake to checker. That's common-sense, well most engineers lack it though.

    Concentrate in the way you represent your paper, along with answering question, your aim is to dazzle your checker with beautifull point-to-point written answers.Awesome diagrams & your job is done.

    Well,do you think the faculty ever reads your entire paper? hell naw! they supervise it within 360 seconds.It usually doesn't matter how technically deep you write in paper, representation is what that bags better marks.

    Exam paper checker usually judges the student from his/her answersheet in first 5-7 questions, if you are successfull in fooling them initially then even though later part of answersheet doesn't contain correct answer, they tend to ignore it & will give you maximum mark.

    Write less but impressive & point-to-point answers, don't attempt technical theory answers as if you're writing a composition 😛

    Stay foolish, stay hungry ? Oh please!
    Make fool & stay at the top 😁

    PS : Some CEans think I act as if I know everything, nope that's wrong judgement, my only motive is to share everything with all my CE buddies.
    Hope you "pros" won't judge this "noob" again. 😁
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
