LIC AAO Exam is scheduled from tomorrow. The LIC Exam, conducted for the recruitment of Assistant Administrative Officer under various branches of LIC. The exam is conducted once in a year (around the month of March/April) and it is considered a tough nut to crack given the huge competition and very few number of vacancies.
Keeping in mind the huge competition, aspirants should ensure that they go to the exam hall with full preparation and should avoid the smallest mistake in the exam. Essentially, candidates should keep in mind the following, while attempting the exam –
GO WITH A PLAN
Candidates should go with proper plan such as
Which section to attempt first and which section to attempt last
How much time should one devote on each section. It is very important that candidate stick to their plan (time wise) i.e. if you had decided that you will give 40 minutes to Reasoning section, you should stick to it.
Reason will be sometimes a particular section may be very difficult, and while attempting the same you may get carried away by devoting more time on that, it will mean that you will compromise on some other section as you will have lesser time for it.
Remember that there is a sectional cut-off in the exam and if a particular section is tough, it will be tough for everyone and hence cut-off for that section will be low.
START WITH EASIER SECTION
Attempt the section in which you are more comfortable as it will give you the confidence and set the speed for the exam.
Attempt most difficult part in the end.
BE CAREFUL ABOUT SECTIONAL CUT OFF
In LIC AAO, you have to score a minimum qualifying marks in each section and qualify English language section separately as well as overall score also.
So, be careful that you do not miss on a section and try to maintain a balance across all sections.
In LIC AAO, there will be negative marks for wrong answers (equivalent to 1/4 of the marks allotted to that questions). There is no negative marking for unattempted questions.
If you are not sure about a question, it is better to leave that question rather than attempting it wrong.
ATTEMPT EXAM IN 2 ROUNDS
Attempt the question paper in two rounds.
While attempting each section – first do the questions, for which you are sure and which can be done in less than a minute. Leave tougher questions for the second round.
This way, you will not miss any easy question in the exam and will be able to optimize the marks.
DO NOT STRUCK ON A SINGLE QUESTION
Never get attached to any single question and hence do not waste time if you are not able to crack it within 1-2 mins.
We have seen, many candidates get stuck with questions like seating arrangement/puzzles in reasoning part and waste precious time on these.
Never do that. If you feel that you might get stuck, leave it for second round.
NEVER GIVE UP DURING EXAM
Competitions like this are the tests of your nerves.
Go with a positive frame of mind to the exam hall and maintain the same throughout the exam.
Many times, when candidates get stuck or find a particular section difficult, they give up. Never ever give up.
