Solution: Har program ko notebook par 3-4 baar likho. Handwriting practice bhi ho jaati hai.

2. Skipping Diagrams

Problem: Computer Fundamentals mein diagrams skip karte ho toh marks kat te hain.

Solution: CPU block, OSI model, Memory hierarchy – ye diagrams har 5+ mark question mein banao.

3. Not Showing Steps in Mathematics

Problem: Sirf final answer likhne se marks nahi milte.

Solution: Formula → Substitution → Calculation → Answer – har step likho.

4. Not Solving Previous Year Papers

Problem: Pattern samajh nahi aata, time management nahi hoti.

Solution: At least 5 years ke papers solve karo. Download here →
