Zephyrr, I thought Noman and Adnan Arshard's posts were sufficient, but here are my two cents if they help at all
Judging from your post on the above thread, I think you need to make sure
-your concepts are correct
-you understand the question correctly, infact understand what the examiner wants. You need to get under the examiner's skin think like him !
-You need to be tactful in what your write, understand the difference between why and what. Look at the sentence construction some times we are so excited by looking at the topic that we forget what the examiner wants.
-do not get carried away just because you know 'too much' of a topic.
-always,always, always attempt the full paper; this must be a matter of life and death
-You need to practise by attempting past question papers in 'exam conditions'
- I think you are consulting too many books, Stick to just two good books and these should be sufficient. I think Adnan Arshard's list of books is what I personally used (minus the study texts, we did not have them in our days)
-Read the solved answers from a good RAET and discuss with your peers and friends how they have passed the exam what was their approach what did they writr
-Most important of all analyse and mark yourself on the last paper that you have failed and see where you may have lost the marks get to the bottom of why you have failed. That is the most important link.
-remember your friends and peers may have just passed the exam by a couple of marks, some times that is the only difference. A students in a class have very similar skill sets, so if a class mate can pass so can you !
Quoting the late Ashfaque Ahmed sb
Last but not least never loose your cool on the day of the Exam, even if a paper is difficult remember it is difficult for all the students, every one is going to do badly on the paper ! which means the top quartile is going to pass.
If X can pass this exam so can you. Remember this, don't get dogged down on because you have failed ! If you want it you can be it. Give it your best and then leave the rest to God !
