SLC english Tips

Tips for the students attending SLC examinations

Students are required to write correct answers with appropriate layout and format to secure good marks. Answers with attractive handwriting, design and layout will be extra advantage for the candidates. It has been found out that the students, despite writing the correct answers, have not got marks as much as they deserve. There are various factors affecting the marking like: layout design, organization of the answers, handwriting etc. This section simply give some tips for the students so that they will get better marks in the SLC examination. These tips are equally important to the teachers as well. The teachers need to instruct their students accordingly.

Some of the mistakes that the students make regarding layout and design of the answers in the SLC examination, found during re-totaling procedure and other research activities, are listed below:

1.      Writing answers inside the cover page. The cover page is torn during coding and thus the answers on that page are left unmarked.

2.      Misinterpreting the ‘Rewrite’ instruction. Some candidates write the questions first as they are in the test paper and then they repeat the same sentence while answering.        

e.g. I saw ……….. ewe yesterday. (a/an/the)

Ans: I saw a ewe yesterday.

Answers written in such way could be overlooked; consequently the candidates may lose the marks.

3.      Writing the answers of different questions with not enough space in between them.

4.      Writing news stories, stories and essays without heading/ title.

5.      Writing/copying unnecessary lines particularly in short answer questions of reading comprehension questions.

6.      Rewriting the text of question number nine i.e. grammar type 2 with the correct alternative but left not underlined. Answers to this type should be distinctly seen.

7.      Some students are found to have done the matching exercise by drawing lines and not writing the words with their meanings in the same line.

Better ways to write the answers accurately and with good layout according to the types of questions are exemplified below. Students will benefit if they follow these and teachers are required to deliver these to their students:

Introduction

Introduction

There are many kinds of test items commercially produced and compiled by various publishing houses in the market. These products do more harm than good to the students. (Study on Student Performance in SLC: 2005). It is frequently commented that SLC candidates as well as the school teachers are not familiar with the test items that appear in the SLC examinations. These prototype tests are prepared for the same purpose. These tests can be administered among the SLC candidates and the results will indicate the problem areas where both teachers and students need to focus to enhance their achievement. These tests will also enable them to know the standards and expectations of the SLC examinations. Attempting the test items of these sets and comparing the answers with the keys given at the end will enable the students to find out how much they have learnt and what difficulties and weaknesses they have. The test papers are preceded by some practical tips on attempting the SLC test items of English subject. These tips are not only helpful to students, but also equally helpful to the teachers to guide their students to prepare for the examination.

These test papers are prepared by a team of secondary English teachers: Dinesh Sanjel, Lalmani Joshi, Ananda Dhungana, Dharmananda Joshi, Bharat Babu Khanal, Suresh Shrestha and Romharsha Panthi. Likewise, Bishnu Prasad Parajuli from Curriculum Development Center (CDC) and Shankar Adhikari from Office of the Controller of Examinations (OCE) have contributed a lot to prepare these test papers. OCE is grateful to all those who have invested their time and efforts to prepare these test papers.
