Laboratory exam & viva. How to prepare?

Engineering is all about laboratory exams. You will have to appear in lots of laboratory exams and viva. The laboratory exams are the easiest in the course. If you prepare it well, you can score some easy points which will help to raise your pointer. Some people ignore laboratory exams totally and when they discover where they are lacking, it is almost late. In engineering, each laboratory generally has 5 to 10 experiments. You have to learn the process to do experiments correctly during the demonstration. If you do not understand, you are to visit the laboratory at the time of less rush under the advice of the laboratory in-charge and practice it. Nobody will say no to your request. Now a day, people are eager to teach but people are less interested in anything related to study. You need to approach the right person with a positive attitude. There are some general things which you should take care of which are listed below.

(1) You have to perform experiments after learning the process demonstrated by the instructor. You have to carefully note down the intricate points told by the instructor and also you have to listen carefully to the theory involved in it.  

(2) You are to make a neat and clean laboratory copy with signatures from your instructor after getting each experiment verified. Laboratory copy bears a good chunk of marks attached to it. This can be scored easily.

(3) For laboratory exams, you have to know to do the experiments along with the theories associated with the experiments. You should be able to answer the questions related to the theory and operations done throughout the experiment. Moreover, one should keep in mind that each laboratory is linked to a particular subject. Therefore, one should be able to answer the questions related to the subject. Sometimes, the invigilator may ask or may not. But, you should be ready for any contingencies.
