Presentation Mantras for Business Studies Exam




Presentation Mantras for Business Studies Exam

Business Studies is  a scoring subject, but you have to stress on presentation. How you present your answers in answer sheet makes a great difference in marks scored by you in exam. I am not denying the fact that content is important but if you write your answers creatively   , you have more chances of getting more marks.

It is based on fact that Human brain is divided in two halves –the left brain and right brain. Left brain works logically and analytically whereas Right brain works on creativity. Examiners   tend to give more marks to papers which are written correctly and creatively as more of right brain is regulated.

Try these tips for enhancing presentation in Business Studies Exam.

Ø  Try to write answers in points rather than writing long paragraphs
Ø  Even Explanation to points can be divide in to sub points
Ø  Underline important parts and headings of answers or use highlighter or black  pen(do it simultaneously while writing answers, you may not get time later)
Ø  Do write question number clearly and strictly tallying with the question paper.
Ø  Leave one line after every point in answer.
Ø  Diagrams can be drawn to make presentation better.

All the Best
