The Secret Trick to Cracking Entrance Exams

The chaos of MDS exams. How to ensure you emerge as a winner?

You have two options.

1. Remain "fragile" - you will get easily broken when subjected to stress or disorder of workload. 
2. Be robust and resilient - make yourself resistant to breakage and distortion. Manage stress successfully.

Which one of the two options you want to get yourself into? 

Obviously the second. But that's because I gave you only two options. 

The question is - "Are these the only two options?".
No. There is a third one ~ Being "Antifragile".    



An antifragile object actually benefits by being under stress or disorder.

There are thousands of students making mistakes all the while; for e.g

1. Following popular methods of preparation - doing a lot of MCQs everyday without checking whether it's helping or not
2. Comparing MCQ books to see who has given right or wrong
3. Asking others what is the right answer
4. Not able to maintain the pace of study till the end of exam
5. Playing victim and blaming exam pattern, MCQ books, exam board, etc.

If you are antifragile you will be able to exploit these situations.
Stress is common to all. It's upto you whether to break, just stay resistant or gain from the stress.
Get wise when others are going wrong . Gain from others' mistakes. Be antifragile; not just resistant.
