Eliminate chances of Slip-ups while taking exams

Exams are the integral part of a student life which has to be taken to get promoted for next level. But during the exam, it is the most common thing that a student can slip-ups the topic or something important point while writing his or her answer. There could be many factors which are responsible for this slip-ups or not able to remember properly. Stress, Overload, not getting proper sleep before the exam are the main factors that usually affect the student while writing the answers. So, it becomes important how to tackle these problems and give your best in exams to score better. Here, are the few points that one should remember and try to correct them to take exam questions properly.

1. Wrong Calculations- This is true for all subjects. Sometimes in a hurry or over-confidence, we do our easy and basic calculations wrong. This results in locating the incorrect answer or wasting the time in finding an incorrect answer. To get proper answer, make sure that rough work is done clearly and you have enough space to calculate the long calculations to clearly figure out the problems.

2. Reading Instructions- Instructions are the backbone of the question. Don't miss the intricate details or special condition that might have been mentioned in the question. Reading a question carefully, solve it up to 50%, if you get it rightly. Otherwise, wrong interpretation leads you wrong answer and calculations.

3. Wrong Nomenclature- Students tend to get stuck with topics or subject which require remembering tough names or standard definitions. Make sure subjects like in Biology, you can not use your own language or your definitions. You have to stick to the one in the textbook. It is important to correctly labels the diagrams and explain it properly to ensure to get good marks and clear your concept in that.

4. Answering in Paragraphs- As far as possible, avoid writing a long paragraphs. Points well written are good enough to get you good marks. Don't forget to underline the headings and main points. The length of answer depends on the marks assigned to that question.

5. Mentioning the formulae- Subjects like in maths, physics, economics formulae plays a vital role and it is important to learn them. Writing formulae with explanation is good for scoring better marks. Correctly write the formulae while doing the calculations in the exam.

6. Ignoring the basics- A lot of steps go wrong during the exams because students ignore the basics and concentrate on getting the final answer. This leads to slip-ups in the exam while writing an answer. So, it is important to understand the basics first and analyze each step of the solution to understand the concept.

7. Ignoring the Revision- Last but not the least, save and keep sometimes for revision before the exam. Revision clarifies your concept, points of writing a long answer. More and more revision and practice helps you even remembering tough calculations and get in touch with topics which you have left in the starting or not able to get properly.

Buzzer interface with 8051 microcontroller

Buzzer  is a electronic device that converts the electronic signal into buzzing noise, that is applied to it. It can be used as electronic bell or as quiz buzzer in many applications around us. Here, i world like to discuss the interfacing of a small buzzer with 8051 microcontroller and how different projects can be constructed. Buzzer Interfacing: This project shows the interface with AT89S52 microcontroller to a buzzer. When a push button is pressed, the buzzer will get ON and OFF ( number of times set in the code ) and then stops. Circuit Diagram: - The port P1 of the microcontroller is connected to buzzer. This type of connection is possible, if the current requirements of the buzzer is not more than 20mA. The output is in current source mode so that buzzer will turn ON when the output of the port is logic LOW. Switch is connected to port P3 which remains at logic HIGH by pull up resistor.  Code: #include "REG52.h" #define buz P1 sbit SW=P3^0; long i...

Comparison Chart Between 8051, 8052, 8031and 8751

8051 is a popular 8-bit microcontroller and has been used in many applications since Intel introduced it. Many 8051 architecture are produced by Triscend, Intel, Atmel, Philips, Infineon (Siemens), ISSI, and Max Corp. Today, 8051 microcontrollers may not be popular but, the 8051 architecture is still popular and employed in thousands of embedded applications. This 8-bit architecture has been different segments such as 8052, 8051, 8751 and 8031 . 8052 is the super-set of 8051 and 8031 is the memory-less microcontroller hence, it has interfaced with external ROM. Whereas, 8751 chip has only 4Kbytes of on chip UV-EPROM. Everyone knows about the general 40-pin microcontroller i.e. 8051 introduced by Intel in 1980s and consists of serial communication pins, Timer, Interrupts, RAM, ROM. It has 4 ports and each port has 8 pins, total 32 pins and other 8 pins for other purposes. 8052 is the super-set of 8051 that consists of 8K bytes of internal RAM (4K in 8051), 256 by...

Different ways to generate delays in 8051

The delay length in 8051 microcontroller depends on three factors: The crystal frequency the number of clock per machine the C compiler. The original 8051 used 1/12 of the crystal oscillator frequency as one machine cycle. In other words, each machine cycle is equal to 12 clocks period of the crystal frequency connected to X1-X2 pins of 8051. To speed up the 8051, many recent versions of the 8051 have reduced the number of clocks per machine cycle from 12 to four, or even one. The frequency for the timer is always 1/12th the frequency of the crystal attached to the 8051, regardless of the 8051 version. In other words, AT89C51, DS5000, and DS89C4x0 the duration of the time to execute an instruction varies, but they all use 1/12th of the crystal's oscillator frequency for the clock source. 8051 has two different ways to generate time delay using C programming, regardless of 8051 version. The first method is simply using Loop   program function in which Delay() funct...
