Simple Tips to Score high marks in English
Time Management
While writing the exam, it’s better to attempt General Awareness
section first and then the English section. Aim to finish both the
sections within 20-25 minutes.
Reading Comprehension
- You may skip the Reading Comprehension question if you are unable to manage time and finish the section within first 25 minutes.
- However, never skip the comprehension as a whole. Read the questions
and try to locate the question sentence in the passage. Some questions
will be easy to answer.
- Synonyms and Antonyms can be answered easily if you are familiar
with many English words. Try to study as many English words as possible.
- Read English newspaper daily. That will improve reading and comprehending capability.
- While reading newspapers, English novels, note down the unfamiliar words you come across and study the meanings for the same.
- Comprehend the question before attempting to answer. The answers
will not be in a format of copy-paste from the passage. Read carefully
and understand. Then only you will be able to answer accurately.
Error Spotting
For solving the error spotting questions, be thorough with the
English Grammar. Check for Subject-Verb agreement first. For 80% of
questions, error will be in subject-verb agreement. If there is no error
there, check for preposition. Subject – Tense agreement is the other
common error in questions.
Para Jumbles
Identify the first and last sentences first. That is the key to solving Para Jumbles (Sentence rearrangement question).
Cloze Test
Study as many English words as you can. Your power of vocabulary helps a lot in answering the cloze test accurately.
Grammatical Correction of Sentences
Check for subject- verb and subject-tense agreement.
Improving Vocabulary
Study 10 new English words daily. Meaning and example sentences for
the words should be noted. Read English newspaper daily. Read English
novels and magazines. Note down the unfamiliar words you come across and
study their meanings.
