Tips to Crack Multiple Choice Questions....!!!!

Multiple Choice Tests formats
are now being universally adapted for testing Student IQ and knowledge
in a particular subject. Students fear multiple Choice exams as some
find it confusing and tricky.

Some feel that the questions are
deliberately phrased that the student chooses the incorrect answer.
Well, these are wrong notions. While attempting the MCQ’s, we need to
relax and attempt the Test without getting jittery. Here are a few tips
that may be of help while attempting the Multiple Choice Entrance Exams...............

1. Remember to carefully read the directions for the exam before you begin.

2. Attempt to answer the question without looking at the options.
If necessary, cover the answers with your hand.

3. Eliminate the distractions.
Analyze the options as true/false
questions. In a negatively worded question (as in “which of the
following are NOT . . .” ), put a T or F beside each option, then simply
select the false statement.

4. Never be afraid to use common sense in determining your answer.
It is sometimes easy to confuse
yourself by attempting to recall the “right” answer rather than simply
reasoning through the question. Make sure your answer makes sense.


5. Answer the questions you know first. Often answers to questions you don’t know are supplied in other questions. Go back to answer the difficult questions later.


6. When guessing, do not change answers.Research indicates your first
answer is usually best. However, don’t be afraid to change answers when
you have a good reason for doing so.

7. When guessing, choose answers that are not the first or last option.
Research indicates that the option in the middle with the most words is usually the correct response.

8. Answer all questions.
Unless points are deducted for incorrect responses, leave enough time to answer all questions.

9. If the first option is a correct one, look at the last option to make sure it is not an “all of the above” option.
The same is true for the “none of the above” question.


10. If options appear similar, chances are one of them is the correct response.
The same is true for quantities that are almost the same.

11. Allow time at the end to check for carelessness.

4 Words You Should Never Say By Laura Vanderkam |

A friend asks you to volunteer. Your spouse asks you to glance over a memo he’s writing his boss. You say you’d love to. Really! But…

“I don’t have time.”

It seems plausible. We’re all busy these days, right? But there are solid reasons not to use these four words, at least with yourself.

Here’s the big one: it’s not true. You tell yourself “I don’t have time” to exercise, but we all have 168 hours a week. If someone offered to pay you $100,000 a month to hit the gym for 5 of those 168 hours, you would probably find the space in your schedule. Since that isn’t going to happen, this is a more accurate statement:

“It’s not a priority.”

There are a million things we could be doing with our time; some are priorities and some are not, even if that’s not politically correct to say. Try it. “I’m not going to read to you tonight sweetie, because it’s not a priority. Daddy’s priority is to check his Blackberry.”

Using the words “I don’t have time” keeps us from owning up to the fact that how we spend our time is a choice. It puts the responsibility for our lives on someone else: a boss, a client, a family member. Or else it puts the responsibility on some nebulous force: capitalism, society, the monster under the bed. Regardless, the power slips out of our hands.

Better to be truthful: “I have another volunteer commitment on which I’m focusing my energy right now. It’s the cause that’s most important to me.” That’s fair enough. Or, to your spouse “I wish you’d mentioned this earlier. Right now my priority is to get our children dressed and out the door for school. I’ll be available around lunch time if you’d like to talk.”

Poem's from the movie " Udaan "

Udaan Movie 2010 Poem 1

Chhoti-chhoti chhitrayi yaadein ,Bichhi hui hain lamhon ki lawn par

Nange pair unpar chalte-chalte ,Itni door chale aaye

Ki ab bhool gaye hain ki ,Joote kahan utaare the.

Aedi komal thi, jab aaye the. ,Thodi si naazuk hai abhi bhi.

Aur nazuk hi rahegi ,In khatti-meethi yaadon ki shararat

Jab tak inhe gudgudati rahe. ,Sach, bhool gaye hain

Ki joote kahan utaare the. Par lagta hai, Ab unki zaroorat nahin.

Udaan Movie 2010 Poem 2

Jo lehron se aage nazar dekh paati toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon,
Wo aawaz tumko bhi jo bhed jaati toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon.
Zid ka tumhare jo parda sarakta toh khidkiyon se aage bhi tum dekh paate,
Aankhon se aadaton ki jo palken hatate toh tum jaan lete main kya sochta hoon.

Meri tarah khud par hota zara bharosa toh kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate,
Rang meri aankhon ka baant-te zara sa toh kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate,
Nasha aasmaan ka jo choomta tumhe bhi, hasraten tumhari naya janm paatin,
Khud doosre janam mein meri udaan chhoone kuchh door tum bhi saath-saath aate.

Is India A Dumping Ground For Apple Products?

Apple is launching iPad in India – 9 months after the launch of device (in the US market) and 3 months before the launch of next generation iPad, i.e. iPad 2.

While there is no confirmation from Apple on the India launch story, the price of iPad in India will start from Rs. 26,000.

Coming back to the title of this article, i.e. whether Apple considers India to be a dumping ground, a perspective to be kept in mind is how a product/technology evolves.

The last portion, i.e. Laggards is where Apple probably puts India (in terms of country profiling, i.e. we are conservative, do not have enough appetite for luxury iProducts etc). To throw certain perspective, Apple did the same with iPhone 4 – i.e. ‘dumped’ iPhone 3GS in Indian market, before the iPhone 4 launch (i.e. get rid of the inventory).

-

Argument For (i.e. Apple shouldn’t look at Indian market).
The mass doesn’t have buying capacity (or rather spending interest) to buy an iProduct. After all, India is still a developing country and hence, Apple shouldn’t be bothered about the Indian market (needs a lot of customization, i.e. McDonald need to sell McAloo!).

Argument Against (i.e. Apple should consider Indian market on an equal footage).

Harley Davidson has entered India. Starbucks is entering India. GetJar suggests that India is among the top country in terms of app downloads.

Essentially, India is happening and given the income range, there still is a huge market for ‘luxury’ products in India (i.e. considering iPad as one). Moreover, emerging markets will drive the necessary growth in the coming days and Apple needs to setup an organization structure (i.e. distribution/support/sales etc) in Indian market, before Android takes over.

-

Traditionally, Apple has ignored India (the apple store was down for almost 15 days!), but it’s time Apple revisits it’s India strategy (they earlier shutdown the India support office, owing to backlash regarding outsourcing et al).

With 3G launch in India and aggressive distribution strategy adopted by Samsung (for Galaxy Tab) and rising of Notion Ink’s Adam (from Indian soil), do you really think Apple should continue to ignore the Indian market? I mean, I was really disheartened when I saw ‘Apple Launching iPad in India’ story and imagined what impressions would our US counterparts (bloggers/media etc) would carry about the Indian market (land of snakes?).

iPad has been officially launched in India and base model’s price is Rs 27,900/.
