If you find a question complicated, don&#8217;t dwell on it. Push forward and make an effort to revisit that question when time allows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Avoid Guesswork:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There is a negative marking for a wrong answer; therefore do not make wild guesses for losing your marks in the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Stay Calm and Focused: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To concentrate properly, keep yourself composed. Getting too anxious can result in errors. Try to inhale and exhale deeply.
