“Tools and Techniques to Write Examinations with Pleasure, not with Pressure”– Professor M.S.Rao
“The first step to turn fear into
power is to accept full responsibility for your choices, behavior, and the
reality of what you now have in your life. The second step is to have the
courage to acknowledge and examine your fears.” – James Mapes
Currently engineering students are
writing their examinations in India. They have lots of apprehensions about exams
which is known as ‘exam fever’ in India. They find it challenging overcome it.
Many students don’t know how to beat their anxiety before and during the exams.
The kind of exam system in India is
different which brings lots of pressure to students in India. Some of the students don’t prepare regularly
due to lack of guidance and focus. At times, they don’t know how to manage
their time. Above all, there is a parental
pressure to perform well. Here are certain tools and techniques students must
adopt to avoid anxiety and apprehensions before and during exams.
Tools
and Techniques while Writing Examinations:
- Read all questions carefully. Attempt the question which you know the best. Remember the slogan, ‘First impression is the best impression’. When the evaluators see the right response to the right question, they tend to carry the same impression on the rest of the answers. Allocate reasonable amount of time for each question and respond accordingly. Don’t take too much time for one or two questions as you might not find time to attempt the rest of the questions.
- Respond to all questions, if possible. If you don’t know the answer for a specific question, recall from your memory when the educator taught you in the classroom and then write. You will score some marks for having written something about the question.
- Don’t leave the exam hall early just because you completed responding to all questions before the stipulated time. Read the answers again. If possible, add value to the existing answers to present in a better way.
- Maintain clear focus on responding to questions. Avoid distractions from others.
- If you still find time, respond to extra questions. For instance, you are asked to attempt five questions out of eight questions. If you have already attempted five questions and you still have time, then attempt the sixth question as well. Evaluators take the best of the answers that help you score high finally.
- Write the question number clearly on the left side of the margin on the answer sheet as it helps the evaluators understand the question and answer easily. It makes things easier for evaluators to identify the right answer for the right question, and to carry forward the marks further for final total.
Before the day of exam take proper
rest, enjoy food, and drink lots of water to keep you hydrated and energized. To
conclude, it is ideal to listen to lectures in the classroom and take the
notes. Maintain separate notebook for
each subject. Prepare regularly instead of preparing when exams are round the
corner. Above all, emphasize on acquisition of knowledge rather than on scores
and grades. Although scores and grades
matter a lot, ultimately what knowledge you have taken away from educational institutions
counts more than so called paper degrees. Paper degrees provide you entry into workplace,
and it is the knowledge that you gained from educational institutions will help
you survive and succeed in the workplace.
Good luck!
"It is by teaching that we teach
ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by
showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water
into the well." - Henri-Frederic Amiel, Swiss philosopher, poet.

“Professor M.S. Rao’s Signature – Life is Great!”
“What matters in life is not what
happens to you but what you remember and how you remember it.” ― Gabriel García
Márquez
Two days ago, I requested an eminent
website to feature my interview on my award-winning book ’21 Success Sutras for
Leaders’ URL: http://www.amazon.com/21-Success-Sutras-Leaders-ebook/dp/B00AK98ELI
which was ranked as one of the Top Ten Leadership Books by San Diego University
for the year 2013. The founder of the website is very passionate to acquire
knowledge. He features interviews and posts articles written by award-winning
and bestselling authors globally. I thought it was a great opportunity for me
to share my knowledge on my bestselling book. Above all, I am also a passionate about
acquiring and sharing my knowledge. He promptly replied and informed me that he
had bought my book and started reading it. He congratulated on my
accomplishments, my focus and my life’s work. He was impressed with my e-mail signature
"Life is great!" and asked the following question: Can you tell me the thoughts, the mindset,
and the beliefs that help you live your mantra, "life is great!"?
Here
is my response: Life
is a circus with peaks and valleys. It all depends on how we take it. I
consider that life is truly great as life is full of twists and turns. Things won’t happen the way we want. Things
happen the way they are supposed to happen. Life takes lots of turns which we
rarely expect.
I joined Indian Air Force when I was
18 years old and served some years. During
this period I acquired many qualifications including MBA as I am a continuous
learner. I am a self-taught and self-made man. I entered into business to
become a successful entrepreneur. I failed miserably. Then I took up to
teaching profession eight years ago since I have many qualifications including
MBA. I restarted my education in 2007 and completed my PhD in Soft Skills in
2011. I never expected that I would earn my PhD. I started to author books from 2010 and
authored 36 leadership books so far. Of which 30 have been published and six
books are under publication pipeline. For all these books, eminent
international management thinkers have written forewords. Here are some of
them: Marshall Goldsmith, Dave Ulrich, Chip R. Bell, Ken Shelton, Jim Kouzes,
Barry Posner, Dr. Nido R. Qubein, James Strock, John H. Zenger, Roland
Sullivan, David Clutterbuck, Fons Trompenaars, Norm Smallwood, Howard M.
Guttman, Dr. Tony Alessandra, Jim Cathcart, Chris Widener, John Baldoni, Lois
J. Zachary, Patricia Wheeler, Kate Sweetman, Sarah McArthur, Subir Chowdhury,
Soumitra Dutta (Dean), Debra Benton, Colin Gautrey, Gerard Seijts, Orrin
Woodward, John Spence and Bob Urichuck.
Two of these books are the bestselling
globally. ‘21 Success Sutras for Leaders’ has been ranked as one of the Top Ten
Books by San Diego University for the year 2013, and another award-winning book
‘Success Tools for CEO Coaches’ http://www.amazon.in/SUCCESS-COAHES-LEARNER-LEADER-LADDER/dp/9351102491
received community award winner from Small Business Book Awards 2014 http://bookawards.smallbiztrends.com/management-2014/success-tools-for-ceo-coaches-8/
I underwent lots of trials and tribulations since childhood as I was born in a
poor family. Financial hardships were severe throughout my life especially during
the period of 2010 to 2013 as there no income on my books. I remained
unemployed without any regular income. Despite
financial challenges I started a nonprofit initiative - “Vision 2030” to build
one million students as global leaders by 2030 http://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.in/2014/12/professor-m-s-raos-vision-2030-one_31.html
Recently my “Vision 2030” received Leadership 500 Excellence Awards 2015. Hence, based on my life experiences, I
concluded that “Life is great!” and I kept it in my email signature. I am 51
years old with a long way to go. I’m not sure how many turns my life would
take. Life is truly great indeed!
“But there is suffering in life, and
there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the
battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever
knowing what you're fighting for.” - Paulo Coelho
"I've learned that no matter what
happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better
tomorrow." - Maya Angelou

Professor M.S.Rao’s Principle – The 10-20-30 Rule –– Local, National and Global Leader
“Winner don’t quit because they are
passionate about their work. If you are not passionate, you will quit because
when things become difficult our will say this is not my kind of stuff.” ––Steve
Jobs
There are a number of principles in
the world including Pareto’s Principle 80/20 and Jack Welch’s 20:70:10. Here is
another principle I have coined to become a local, national and global leader –
Professor M.S.Rao’s Principle 10/20/30.
Here is an elaborate explanation of
this principle which can be applied in any industry and sector to grow as a
local, national and global leader.
To achieve happiness and success in
your life, you must pursue your passions without searching for monetary
rewards. Passion leads to money, not the other way round. Hence, follow your
heart where you are comfortable and enjoy doing it with loads of enthusiasm and
without any stress. After identifying your passions, follow them relentlessly
by investing your efforts and energies consistently. If you work hard for
10,000 hours which may take 3 years approximately, you will become an expert
and authority in your area. You can become a professional and grow as a local
leader. If you continue investing your
efforts and energies in your passionate area for 20,000 hours which may take
around 6 years, you become an expert and authority at the national level to
grow as a national leader. In a nutshell, you grow as a thought leader at the
national level. If you invest your
efforts and energies in the same area for a period of 30,000 hours which may
take around 9 years of your life, you become an expert and authority at the
international level. You will grow as a global leader in your passionate area. When you look at film stars, sportspersons, leaders
and celebrities, they achieved amazing success by following this principle and
sticking to their passionate areas without any deviation.
The entire process appears to be easy
to read but it is very difficult to apply because there will be innumerable
challenges on the way to reach to the tipping point. You must have patience, and be persistent to
achieve your goals. You must work for
satisfaction, not for recognition. Above all, you must have a heart to make a difference
in the lives of others to be accepted and respected as a global leader. Enjoy
the journey, not the destination. Emphasize on means, not ends to provide
meaning to your life. Explore and experiment this principle and I am sure you
be a global leader.
Good luck to become a global leader!
“I have no special talents. I am only
passionately curious.” ––Albert Einstein
