• Understanding Question Paper Format:

When you practice the previous year’s question paper, you come across the exact question paper format that you will encounter during your exam. When you are aware of the format, it takes you less time and effort during the exam to understand the format and then start the exam.

• Understanding Question Types:

You can also come to know the type of questions that IGNOU will create for you during the exams. When you come to know the question types, you can practice more of such questions from many other resources such as mock test papers to be prepared for the exam in the best possible way.

• Time Management:

Experts advise practicing the question papers and keeping a timer with the time mentioned on the question paper. As you keep on practicing, you will come to know how to manage time well during the exam to answer all the questions comfortably.

• Getting Common Questions:

It has been noticed that students who practice the previous year’s question papers often get common questions in the exams. No doubt, when you get a common question, a smile runs through your face because you know that you have practiced this question and can answer it in the most potential manner.

• Boosts Confidence:

The Correct Way to Practice IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper

Just practicing the previous year’s question papers is not enough. You should also know the right ways to practice it. Here are some of the ways how you can benefit from practicing the previous year’s question papers in the right way.

• Practice with a Timer:

Keep a timer with a time set according to the time mentioned on the question paper. Practice with a timer so that you can match your time during the exam.

• Correct the Mistakes and take a Test Again:

Check your answers and correct your mistakes. Take a re-test of the questions for which you have made a mistake to polish them.
