📚 Before the Exam: Preparation Tips

1. Know Your Syllabus

Download and review the latest IGNOU syllabus from the official website. Focus on important blocks and units.



2. Use IGNOU Study Material

Stick to IGNOU-provided books (Self Learning Material). Questions often come directly from them.



3. Solve Previous Year Papers

Practice at least the last 3-5 years' question papers. Many questions are repeated or similar.



4. Make Short Notes

While studying, create summary notes or flashcards for quick revision before exams.



5. Follow the Weightage

Identify high-weightage units and give them priority while preparing.



6. Watch YouTube Lectures & Online Resources

Use IGNOU’s YouTube channel (eGyankosh) and other platforms for difficult concepts.



7. Don’t Skip Assignments

Assignments carry 30% weightage. Completing them improves your final grade and helps with revision.

📝 During the Exam

1. Read Questions Carefully

Understand what is being asked. Look for keywords like “Explain,” “List,” “Describe.”



2. Stick to the Word Limit

IGNOU exams have suggested word counts. Avoid writing too short or unnecessarily long answers.



3. Use Headings and Points

Structure your answers with headings, bullet points, and diagrams (if applicable).



4. Attempt All Questions

Even if you're unsure, try to attempt all questions. You may get partial marks.



5. Time Management

Allocate your time wisely (e.g., 30 mins per long answer). Don’t spend too much time on one question.
