Just like any other entrance examination, WBJEE too is not an easy nut to crack and requires tedious hours of studying, intensive hard work before the examination and smart work during the exam.

Above 80% accuracy and attempting 110-115 questions will help you reach the score that will be well above the general cut-off for the paper. While one can certainly enhance their preparation through study material, practice and coaching, what is important is what happens on the actual day of the examination. This article talks about the 7 important things that you must keep in mind while you appear for WBJEE 2018.

5. Go through the guidelines and instructions

Read the instructions on the question paper carefully before attempting the questions. There are some important points mentioned there. Read every instruction carefully and make sure that none of these are violated throughout the entire time you are present in the hall.

6. Be ready for the worst

Be prepared for doubts and uncertainties. You might come across questions and topics which you would not be sure about. There could be some questions or instructions which will raise doubts in your mind. It is better to be prepared ahead for such uncertainties instead of facing surprises on the exam day.

7. Do not panic

Do not panic if you find the paper tough. You should prepare your maximum and be ready for all types of questions which could be possibly asked in the examination. You should trying solving maximum questions and mark those answers which you are completely confident about. If you find the paper difficult, it must mean that the paper is tough for everyone else too. Give your best and maintain accuracy.
