@DD even I cant mug up and cant study the way certain people do. But haan engineering ne sikha diya who karna to some extend. After all necessity is the mother of inventions. Pass hona hai. Kya Karun. But even then I will be selective and then wish with all heart those questions come. Pata nahi kaise but I do get them.
There are clearly 2 occasions where I had escaped thus. One was C++ exam third module. I was not at all understanding pointers and all. Only thing I knew was type of variables. And I was like if the essay of third module didn't had this question I will flunk. But essay of third module had that choice and I scrapped through the paper for which almost three fourth of my class flunked.
Another was Microprocessor chip exam. In first module there were 8 or 9 chips whose configurations we had to study.It was really confusing. Even on the day of exam I was trying to ascertain how will I manage this module, because other 2 modules it was quite ok with just 2 chips and well defined functions. And you know for the exam there was question paper error. Instead of Microprocessor questions in first module was the questions of Control Systems Paper. We were just asked to put question numbers and paper was evaluated without first module 😆😆😆. Thanks to printing people hum bach gaye😆😆
But another trick I use to follow in exam is, if I don't understand a question, I will write whatever I know about the topic, let the evaluator take whatever they want, or if all questions are time consuming, I will write half half in such a way that the entire question paper is covered. This will ensure I don't flunk any paper. 😆😆
