          whenever u get a negative result, just analyse what mistakes u did, or in which section did u lag… improve on those points.. daily give mock test,, and more important is analysing the mock test after it.. usse u will get to know ur weak areas.. then improve that weak areas…. and never get disheartened when u fail in any exam, rather use it in a positive way that now u know more of ur weak area and will cover them and improve more and more,, if u follow this regularly u will surely succeed in coming exams…
