How should I attempt 16 mark questions from Anna University exams?

Firstly you need to change your aim. Rather than scoring good marks, your aim should be to acquire a better understanding of the concepts. This will help you in the long run. Follow these tips that will guide you on how to attempt 16 marks questions in Anna University exams:

• Don’t extend the 16 marks answers to more than 5 pages.

• Attend the question you are most well versed in first. Then keep moving in descending order.

• Neat and tidy presentation never goes unnoticed. Use black ink for headings and blue for other parts. 

• Assign a time limit to each answer (30 minutes per answer). This will give you proper time to write every answer.

• Adding pencil-made sketches will fetch you extra marks.

Pro tip: Don’t write irrelevant information on your 2 marks answers. The examiner will assume you did the same for the 16 marks questions.
