How can you prepare for Medical entrance exam?

Answer 1

FTII -- Film and Television Institute of India -- ed.

I ve been searching for the answer to the same question . From what i have been told and read , i ll list out the info that people who have taken the test told me .

1 . First of all , when we look at what FTII could be looking in their students at the entrance test , it has to be thorough knowledge on

1. The history of Indian cinema,music,literature and art .

2. The basics of photogaphy and cinematography .

3. Knowledge on recent events and developments in literature and cinema .

4. Aptitude- some questions are like writing the sound track for a particular situation,,writing a story from a picture ,drawing a different view for a given picture etc.

2 .For the interview they might look at how the candidate presents himself and his attitude and passion for the field. Some of my friends said they carried their work with them like short films and photographs and the interviewers questioned them on the work .

Here are some of the questions that were asked this year(2009) Apparently the paper pattern has finally changed. So read about technical stuff if you are applying for a technical course.

Write a short note on the following- any 4

film theory

genocide

farmers suicides in India

documentary filmmaking

trends in Indian poetry

silent cinema

globalization and culture

Write about any literary fiction you have read in an Indian Language and can it be made into a short film. elaborate

So basically your knowledge on everything related to arts and culture in India is important. the best thing to do is just read as many articles, read lots of literature. Read about important figures in the Art and Culture world in India, including famous people of the past. Plus your general knowledge about current events is what they want to see. so just read read and read some more. And of course watch loads of movies.

Answer 2

AIEEE PreparationAIEEE is the most prestigious engineering entrance examination and the students willing to make it to the top notch engineering colleges through AIEEE have to realize that they need to have the right kind of orientation. In AIEEE the emphasis is on fundamental concepts and their application in different situations. This differs significantly from the Board examinations. The questions asked in the AIEEE seek to test the conceptual clarity and the reasoning ability of the students.

"Questions in AIEEE are not difficult they are just different"

Yes!

Most of the questions in AIEEE are not difficult but they are just different & they require a different approach, a different mindset. Each question has an element of surprise in it & student who is adept in tackling 'surprise questions' is most likely to sail through.

They have tried to briefly answer questions of students preparing for AIEEE. This information will help you establish new goals, develop a new sense of purpose and generate new ideas that will be helpful in your preparation.

Few strategies of Smart Preparation

• Well thought revision plan,

The first & foremost step is to build a sound & feasible plan for your preparation.

Divide your entire time into a reasonable time chart with milestones in between & plan your studies

accordingly. Do not overestimate the time you have. You are advised to leave free time in between so that if any module gets delayed you don't have to change the plan.

Study the trend of previous year question papers & draw marks distribution of each subject to find out which topics are most important & which are least. Give priority to important topics & try to put them in early stage of your preparation to avoid any possibility of them being left.

Review your plan periodically to find out if there are any lapses & how they can be covered up.

To summarize PAGE counselors believe that most of the student's fail not because of lack of ability or intelligence but because of lack of desire, direction, proper planning & discipline.

• Strengthening fundamentals:

Most of the questions are based on fundamentals & their applications. So, the first step is to establish a solid base by mastering the fundamentals. For mastering the fundamentals you have to be focused. Don't refer too many books. Decide about the books after discussing with your trainer at PAGE then stick to them.

When you start a new chapter, the learning curve is slow so that you do not accomplish similar amount of learning every day even though you spend same amount of time everyday. So even if your learning process is slow, keep studying day after day without getting discouraged. All the subjects are equally important. Devote more time to subject/topic you are weak in (remember most of us tend to devote more time on areas we are strong & often shy away from our weakness). In most of the examinations minimum qualifying marks are there for each subject. Hence make sure that you do not ignore any subject & allocate adequate time to each subject

• Strengthening Application of fundamentals

Quality is more important than Quantity: Doing 100 quality & concepts based questions is more important than doing 1000 questions which have not been selected carefully. Remember that the purpose is to sharpen problem-solving skills. Start with conventional methods of problem solving but improvise constantly & build you own shortcuts & ways of attacking a problem.

While practicing the problem always try to solve the problem on your own. If you are unable to solve a problem do not hurry to consult the solution. Study the relevant theory again, paying attention to the finer points and the problem in the back of mind.

Experience shows that studying the theory with a definite problem in mind is very effective and also sharpens the problem solving skills. Remember that directly going though the solutions is not going to help you at all. The key in problem solving does not lie in understanding the solution to the problem but to find out what clues in the problem leads you to the right explanation. In case you are not able to solve the problem try to find out the reason by analyzing the level of problem & practice similar kind of problems so that you can master the tricks involved.

While doing problem solving try to strengthen and develop your conceptual understanding by analyzing deeply and correlating the problem with real life situations.

While practicing identify your strong & weak areas (subject wise/topic wise/question wise). Testing your preparation chapter by chapter can do this. Through a structured test you should be able to diagnose which chapter, which concept & what type of problems you need to practice more.

• Strengthening Speed /Strike rate & Examination temperament

Always keep track of your average speed of solving questions.

Participating in PAGE identical test series helps in time & temperament management during the final exams. It has been observed that most of the students loose 15 to 20% of their marks not because they do not know the subject but because they fail to apply the basic concepts correctly. This is basically due to examination fear & pressure. These marks that a student looses because of silly mistakes (calculation errors, confusion, fail to apply the right concepts, solving the problem by long method) can be reduced if a student regularly participates in test series based on the pattern & level of final exams.

The student can also simulate the exam like conditions through PAGE training program.

Get a feedback on your preparation by getting yourself tested by a body other than your College. Testing by PAGE would give you an independent and unbiased feedback about your performance. It is preferable if these tests give feedback on National level.

Please remember that both speed & strike rate are important for success. Continuously develop the ability to do things fast & accurately.

Keep interacting with people who are preparing. Since the competition is on National level it is important to compare your preparation with other students preparing across the country.

In short we can say that "AIEEE is not necessarily test of knowledge of basic fundamentals only but it is a test of application of knowledge to solve surprise problems with perfect time & temperament

management.

Speed: Speed building comes through the following:

Memorizing land mark problems (remembering standard formulae, concepts so that you can apply them directly) Being strong in mental calculations (never use the calculator during your entire preparation, try to do first and second level of calculations mentally, remember as vocalization reduces reading speed, similarly doing calculation on paper reduces the speed. Working with choices (see all the options and do not go for last digit accuracy unless required by the problem) when you are doing subject wise exercises you can also calculate speed subject wise.

Here we would like to highlight one more point that just good speed is not enough because of negative marks, so a high speed with less accuracy may be harmful.

Strike Rate: This originates the second important factor, the strike rate. Strike rate means the percentage of correctly attempted questions

Strike rate can be improved with the help of intelligent guessing. Intelligent guessing means guessing a question you are not completely sure but have some idea about. Your objective is not to solve the question but choosing the correct option out of the 4 given choices. So always try to eliminate the choices. Remember that if one choice is eliminated, chances of your guess being right is 33% (in comparison to a blind guess where the chances of being right is 25%) and if two are eliminated the chances of hitting the right answer are 50 %

So remember that a good speed or strike rate alone cannot give you success. One without the other is a good way to mess up a potentially good performance. So, what is required is a good

combination of both speed and strike rate.

Question Selection: It is very important to understand what you have to attempt and what you have to leave. There is a limit to which you can improve your speed and strike rate beyond which what becomes very important is your selection of question. So success depends upon how judiciously one is able to select the questions. To optimize your performance you should quickly scan for easy question and come back to the difficult ones later.

Always keep in mind that normally questions in any competitive exams can be categorized into 3 areas

Easy: Approximately 25% questions in a paper are easy

Average: Approximately 60% questions in a paper are average

Difficult: Approximately 15% questions in a paper are difficult

The easy and average questions ensure selection whereas the difficult questions make the merit. You should focus on careful selection of the easy and average questions and avoid difficult questions in the first and second round and come back to them once you have completed the entire paper once.

Also remember that cut-off in most of the exams moves between 60 to 70%. So if you focus on easy and average question i.e. 85% of the questions, you can easily score 70% marks without even going to difficult question. Try to ensure that in the initial 2 hours of the paper the focus should be clearly on easy and average question, after two hours you can decide whether you want to move to difficult questions or revise the ones attempted to ensure a high strike rate.

Apart from just books, the market has also come up with video tutorials, on TV and also on DVD. DVDs vary in quality, from basic in Topchalks to high-quality in KaysonsEducation, which have 3D images and claim to increase concentration of students by 300%. DVDs are an innovation in the industry and are slowly but steadily finding their way to students to much appreciation. These DVDs can then be used for mostly self-study and then spending more time on problem solving.
