 Hi friends, welcome to my channel, I am Arpita Karwa and in this video I am going to address a question which students have asked me dozens of time. So the question is that ma'am we have tried to go through notes, we have tried to read so many books, we have attempted so many previous year papers but still our score is not improving. A lot of students ask my team on daily basis that what we should do in order to crack net it has been 3 or 4 attempts and we are not able to clear net some or the other time it is either by 2 percent or 3 percent we fail and we are really really disheartened. What should we do? So I thought of taking up this question and making a video about it so that I can address all the students out there who are struggling with this issue. So this video is specifically for those who have either attempted twice or thrice in the net exam and yet are not able to clear it or for the first timers who are trying to go through the previous year papers, give them as a mock test and yet find that they are not able to improve their score. Every time they attempt a paper their score remains the same in spite of the fact that they have put in so much effort in order to learn so many new things in order to practice and rectify their mistakes. So for all of you guys here is the video but before we get into the details of the video I would like to talk about a very very important story which is very dear to my heart. This story is very relevant from the point of view of this video. So the story is about the great scientist Edison. So Thomas Elwa Edison the great scientist he used to work in his laboratory day in and day out. Once upon a time while he was working in his laboratory his laboratory caught fire and the entire laboratory was destroyed by fire. A lot of reporters came to his house in order to ask him and one of the reporter asked him that how do you feel now that you find the entire hard work of your lifetime getting destroyed by fire and at this point Edison said a very beautiful line. He said that no it's not the hard work that is getting destroyed it is my mistakes which are getting destroyed. So now I have the opportunity to start afresh to make a new start and to understand how science work and to come up with so many new theories. So that is the passion that you have to keep even if you have failed twice thrice and you have not yet succeeded I am telling you that if you have your spirits up there is nobody who can take you away from your goal. So I am going to talk about the topic of this video now but before that put in the comment section if you want me to make any new videos on any of the questions that is troubling you that is hindering your net preparation I would love to answer them in my frequent videos. The very first tip that I would like to give to each one of you out there is to make note of all your mistakes. I have seen a lot of students who keep on solving previous year papers they might be scoring 30 out of 50 or 25 out of 50 but they keep on solving they never look back at the paper they have answered and see where they are making mistakes. So what happens in turn is that their mistakes keep on repeating they are not able to improve their score because they are not working on the weak areas. So the very first thing that you have to do whenever you attempt any previous year paper or you attempt any mock test is that keep a notebook handy after solving the paper when you are marking and grading yourself make note of all the questions that you have answered wrong and then look at it evaluate each of these questions and see what kind of mistake did you make. It is very important unless and until you don't evaluate you will keep on making the same mistake ok and you will figure out after solving 2-3 papers that you are doing the same mistakes every time. That is why every time your score is also coming that is not the case you do new mistakes every time you repeat the same mistakes but because you have never noted depth down never evaluated it you don't know what you are doing let me give you a very simple analogy. I have to put in some milk be it tea be it some sweets or be it kheer or be it anything. Now if I find that all the things that I am preparing that day the taste is very different it's not that great. So should I question my cooking abilities no before I start questioning my cooking abilities let me first see what is the common ingredient may be was din aapka dood hi kharaab aaya hai the quality of milk is not so great that is why everything that has milk in it is going to taste bitter the same thing might apply in case of your previous your questions that you are attempting you are making the same mistake again and again and you question yourself saying that I am not good at paper one I am not good at logical reasoning I am not good at mathematical reasoning don't question yourself first see you might be making the same mistake and if you correct that mistake if you rectify that error from the next day your score is going to go up really up and you will be surprised to know that. Now after you have made notes on all the mistakes that you have made in a particular test it is important to look at the questions and evaluate and see the nature of these mistakes. There can be different kind of mistakes which a student can make there might be a silly mistake you might have just done some calculation wrong because you were not focused at that time or maybe it is a mistake that you did because you were feeling pressure. aap pressure me jab aate hai to aap bohat sahi cheeze galat kar deta hai aapka demak uss tarhe se chali nahi pata jis tarhe se jab wo relaxed hota hai tap chalta hai so maybe because of pressure you are making certain mistakes or you might find that you are not able to understand the language of question this I understood when I was in my 11th standard and I used to get so many questions of accountancy I had a commerce with myself when I was in the 11th so a lot of questions which came in accountancy were not being answered by me properly because I was not able to understand what the question was saying it was not that I don't know how to calculate depreciation or how to transfer some credits to another person's account but I was not able to understand what the question was trying to say so you might also be making the same mistake mostly I have seen students who get stuck somewhere in paper one they are not able to understand assertion reason statements they find the language very tricky or they are not able to understand what is that cheat code which they need to find from the question so make sure that if it is a silly mistake you have to handle it differently if it is a mistake that you are doing just because you are under pressure you have to handle it differently if it is a mistake because you're not able to understand the question and the language of the question then you have to look at it differently and then after all this you will find certain questions which you will be answer in a wrong manner just because you have not worked on your weak area so all of us have our own strength and weakness even in paper one you might find that teaching aptitude and research is your strength whereas logical reasoning or data interpretation is your weakness now you have to do a SWOT analysis what is a SWOT analysis it's basically strength and weakness analysis you have to understand your weak areas identify and then start working on them and once you start working on them you will find that your score of every test will go up slowly whatever comes will not help you to practice again and again where you are attacking the questions that are wrong start working on those questions that is what is going to give you those extra marks by which you can easily qualify net now that we have identified where we are going wrong we have identified the nature of our weaknesses it is important for you to start practicing but then you don't have to practice the entire question paper again you don't have to give the test again no that is going to take so much of your time and that is going to be fruitless so what you need to do is that you need to know the particular sections which you have to practice again so practice only what you are missing is very important if you have ever seen cricketers in the net practice you will find that they don't keep on you know playing cricket as in if a baller is there so he will not throw balls which he is good at if a baller is good at your curve he is not going to practice just giving your curves no he is going to practice what he is weak at in the similar fashion you have to keep on practicing on your weak areas you have to keep on practicing those questions which you are getting wrong and within few days you will see that those questions will become your strengths so what is important here is that just like we had Arjuna who focused on that bird's eye similarly your focus should be there on the questions which you got wrong or on the areas which are your weak areas so make sure that you forget everything from the question paper and only focus on the questions which you are getting wrong you keep on practicing them and make sure you become better at them day by day so I hope that the three points that I've discussed in this video is going to help you improve your score and will help you to qualify this exam just believe in yourself have the passion and keep on working on your deficiencies keep on working on your errors rectify your errors and get your goal so that's it for this video lecture we'll meet very soon in the next video lecture till the time we meet next happy learning keep loving literature and stay tuned to arpatakarwa.com
