Biology Essay Questions And Answers Form 4: Fill & Download for Free

I might be not the best person to answer this, because grades are not that important to me. Important, but not that important.But I am definitly the right person to give sneaky ways to get those grades with the least effort, because I am this lazy … ehm! I just think that studying is a theory that we will never understand, because it has to be there to torture us. Just like taxes.So let’s get straight to the point.You are really choosing 3 of the most wicked and tricky subjects, but who knows maybe you can make it.So I will tell you a few tricks.Trick 1: ask your professor or teacher how to get an A* on each subject.Go to your math/physics/biology teacher and ask him/her how to get this grade. You will be surprised when you hear about their tricks. I mean, they have been teaching this subject for God knows how long. They must have plenty of tips and tricks to get this grade.Trick 2: It’s not about what you understand, It’s about what you know.This is how tests goes and when get into college, simple, reverse the qoute. At school you are still a student to them so they don’t care if you are smart or you know something they don’t know, because what comes in the book comes in the test. You have to be aware of every detail in your book and of the information that is given by your teacher, because they like to test you about how much do you concentrate in their classes. So pay attention to you teacher and listen carefully.Trick 3: Make as many mistakes as you canI like to call it the training phase. Make the stupidest mistakes you can ever make during the quizes and tests that don’t affect your grades -I don’t know about your education systems, but there are tests that don’t affect your grades-. Study those mistakes and wrong answers throughly and try to anaylze why you got these answers wrong. The answer is not always that you didn’t study hard. Maybe you didn’t sleep well -it causes a bad effect and it’s not something stupid- Maybe you are sad. Maybe you are depressed or stressed. Find the answer and deal with it.Trick 4: Identifiy your weaknessesWhat questions you get wrong the most? MCQ, true or false, essay questions. Know them! Start practicing as much tests as you can that comes in the form of these questions you always get wrong. Ask your teacher for some advice about how to solve them, they will help.Trick 5: Watch the way you think.I know this might be hard and confusing, but it’s crucial.I used to get all essay questions wrong when I was a school student. So I had to watch how I think and write when I face an essay question. I realized that when I am faced with an essay questions I get panicked and start writing things that are not related to the questions. Not a Coldplay song, but writing an answer that would fit another question and not this question right here in front of me. I started puttting myself in uncomfortable situations where I have to answer so many essay questions that I became a Master at it and it helped me now at college, because I do alot of essay questions.Trick 6: for Math and PhysicsPlease Please Please! Stop skipping writing your steps!!!!! When you solve a math equation or connecting some circut in physics keep a piece of paper next to you and write every step and detail you took or written to reach this answer. I know it will take time, but still it will save you a lot of time in the future and helps with your understanding early before final exams, because you are watching yourself solving this equation and when you are stuck you will realize that you are stuck and then you can easily turn to your teacher and show them the steps you took to solve this equation and they will be happy because they won’t have to guess how did you reach to this answer. This will show them how you worked your way through the equation and they will give you a very precise answer. This way you can easily return to these steps when you get stuck in a similar equation. Math equations keep repeating themselves.I hope these tricks could help you or anyone somehow. You can try them along with the usual act of studying!

Hi friends!Today, I want to explain in detail the mistakes committed by UPSC CSE 2018 AIR 64 GSS Praveenchand. This was his third attempt but I have taken his story as he failed to become an IAS officer in 2017 and came back in 2018 with AIR 64.Lets enjoy his story! It would be fun.About GSS PraveenchandHe belongs to East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. He did his B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from IIT Patna. Later , he worked as a ream leader for 3 years in software firm.Brief about why he wanted to become IASHe wanted to become IAS mainly because of his mother. She had planted this idea in his mind. She used to tell him that family doesn’t mean only parents and siblings, but also our society. She believed that happiness of one lies in happiness of the society. This played an important role in shaping his personality.Later as a student leader in college, he realised that public service is what gives him real satisfaction. So he decided to leave his high paying job and attempt civil services. Unfortunately, both his parents are no more, as he lost his mother at an early age and his father before his IIT exam. It was because of them he reached where he is, so he wanted to dedicate his success to them.Journey with UPSCHe gave total 3 attempts in UPSC civil services. During his first attempt, he reached up to the Interview but couldn’t make it to the final list. After the result, he was extremely disappointed as he had lost closely. He thought of leaving his preparation as he had exhausted his financial savings.During that phase, his sister ( Mounica) and friends ( Bharadwaj and Ekant Sharma ) stood by his side. He rejoined his previous company after giving prelims. In his second attempt he secured 512 rank and was allocated Indian Information Service(IIS). He resigned from his private sector job and joined IIS training. Simultaneously, he gave his third attempt and secured 64th rank.His book list and sourcesHistoryBrief history of modern India by Rajiv Ahir.Tamil Nadu history book – 11th class for medieval India [ pdf available on internet also ]RS Sharma old NCERT for Ancient IndiaIndian cultural heritage – Fine Arts NCERT, CCRT websiteNCERT – Post independence 11th classWorld history – VisionIAS bookletGeographyNCERT 11,12 – total 4 booksYouTube channel – Mrunal Geography playlist for better conceptual understanding , if needed.SocietyIndian society , 11th classPolityIndian constitution at work NCERTDD Basu – Introduction to constitution of India ( you may follow Lakshmikant as suggested by many others )EconomicsIntroduction to macroeconomics – NCERTIndian economy development – NCERTGovernment budgetEconomic surveySriram IAS economy bookletYouTube channel – Mrunal for better understanding of concepts ( very good source )Science and Technology6,7,8,9 class NCERTEnvironment12th class biology last four chapter on ecology and environmentDiaster ManagementLast chapter of Indian physical geographyNDMA websiteInternational frameworks like Sendai etcSecuritySriramias classroom notesEthicsEthics Integrity and Aptitude by Arihant PublicationsPrevious year question papers of UPSCCurrent affairsThe Hindu news paper – last page, first page , editorial pages , national pages , business page, international pages, , science and technology page.com website – daily current affairs and secureVisionIAS monthly compilationGovernment schemesFocus on schemes that comes in newspaper , economic survey and current affairs bookletsPrevious year question papersPrelims examination- very very importantMains previous year question papers since 2013StrategyPrelimsIn this stage, he was fortunate to score good marks in all the three attempts.His prelims paper 1 scores in all the attempts are as following :In 2016 : 138In 2017 : 150In 2018 : 120What he did for prelims ?He read basic books listed above , especially those important for prelims multiple times. For some he made his own notes, for others he highlighted within the text books.He used to do test series of Insights and VisionIAS. After giving every test, he used to go through the explanations very carefully. In every question, he used to read about other options as well. For examples, if a question is about National park, with four options : Corbett, Kanha, Kaziranga and Gir. He used to read basic information from first few paragraphs of WikiPedia or from relevant websites. This process he used for all the questions. This has helped in better retention, clarity, apart from expanding his knowledge base.He went through previous year question papers of UPSC prelims and revised important questions couple of times.For current affairs, he referred to the sources mentioned above.MainsHis booklist for mains remained same.He used to dedicate 50% of my time to General Studies and other 50% to prepare my optional i.e. MathematicsHere his focus was on improving answer writing. For that, he used to practice 2 questions everyday after prelims. Apart from this, he used to practice VisionIAS test series at home. He used to go through the answers of main test series provided by the institute very carefully. He revised every test at least 3 times. This helped in preparing various probable questions, as well as in bringing clarity to his answers. Further, due to this exercise, he was able frame answers in the exam hall in short duration, which has helped him to complete paper in time in all the papers.Coming to approach towards each paperGeneral Studies – 1One should thoroughly prepare NCERTs and standard text books. While writing answers in mains, quoting specific facts, examples and dates will help to score good marks. In social issues part, give examples from current affairs. In Geography, prepare the diagrams from NCERTs and use them appropriately in your answers.General Studies – 2In GS-2, first one should be thorough with constitution and governance aspects in our country. Using constitutional terminology, quoting relevant articles of the constitution and supreme court judgements in the answers plays key role to write good answers. One may use diagrams in international affairs part. E.g. Map of Belt and Road Initiative(BRI) if a question on BRI is askedGeneral Studies – 3There is lot of scope for flow charts and diagrams in economy. So, one should practice such things during preparation.Science & Technology can be largely prepared from current affairs. Do watch out for latest happenings about the keywords mentioned in the syllabusDisaster Management can be studied from NCERT and NDMA website. Through study of disaster life cycle and various international conventions like Sendai framework, etc will help to write well structured answers in mains.For environment, he studied 4 chapters of 12th class biology NCERT book. Apart from that, environment current affairs notes from The Hindu has helped him.Coming to security, he referred to sriram Ias class room notes. He augmented this with his notes from The Hindu newspaper.General Studies – 4One should prepare each term mentioned in the syllabus and make notes in their own language. He used to pick examples from his daily life and current events. He has referred to Ethics & Integrity book of Arihant Publications, one may use this book for selective reading. After prelims, he has practiced previous year UPSC questions. He revised those questions as well.EssayFor essay, he made framework for previous year essay topics. Framework included aspects likeDimensions to be coveredExamples from regional to international levelQuotesRecommendations of the committeesHe used to practice, 1 essay every week after prelims from InsightsPersonality testsHis scores during 3 personality tests are following2016 : 179 ( Vinay Mittal Sir Board )2017 : 179 ( Sujatha Mehta Ma’am Board )2018 : 157 ( Manoj Soni Sir Board )What I did for Interview ?He had thoroughly prepared my Detailed Application Form (DAF). He made around 30 keywords and from the DAF and prepared notes on each word in “question and answer” format. He also used to practice speaking out his opinions on current affairs in front of his laptop camera. He also recorded such videos and introspected his way of answer delivery. Apart from these, he used to practice with his friends (especially with Utsav, Rena, Deepak and Rickey ; he is thankful to them ) , where they used to take mock interview of one another. This was extremely helpful. He also used to watch Shahrukh khan speech from “Chak De India” and listen to “Enthavaraku” song ( from Telugu movie Gamyam) to boost his confidence on the interview day.Since interview tests one’s personality, it helps if one can groom it during the preparation. Honesty and integrity, problem solving skills, leadership qualities, etc are key aspects that are being tested here. So developing them during the preparation can certainly help. Don’t fake your personality, go to the interview with open mindset. Be yourself and give your best on the day. He always enjoyed interacting with experienced members during the interview, so will you.MathematicsI have scored 342 in mathematics optional.His mark sheetPrelimsMainsClosing words…If he can clear the exam, then each one of you can also do the same. I strong believe that anyone can learn anything, provided they have passion for it. If you think becoming an IAS and serving this great nation is your passion , then no one can stop you from becoming that. I wish each one of yours All the Best. Always remember, civil services is just one avenue to reach your goal, there are many other avenues waiting for you ,so don’t get disheartened if you can’t clear this exam. Find your passion in other fields and move on. Our country will move forward only if each one of us contributes in our respective fields, so let us do best in what ever work we do.Jai Hind!

What kind of writing best describes the writer? Some might argue a memoir, some an autobiographical poem, but for those who are seeking a place at selective universities it is the personal statement.Graduate programs require personal statements or statements of purpose which again often differ from what undergraduate applicants need to write for either the US or the UK.What follows is the personal statement written by a student for a Masters program at the prestigious London School of Economics. The prompt asks the students to address his or her interests and experiences that make them well-qualified for the program.***********************************************************************While working as a research assistant in a molecular neurobiology laboratory, I realized that the adolescent brain is more “plastic” than it will ever be again, capable of remarkable adaptability to many social and intellectual challenges that this developmental phase brings1. This is also the peak time for clinical onset of most mental illnesses as one in five adolescents have a mental illness that persist into adulthood1. Strikingly, mental illnesses that emerge before adulthood are known to impose a 10-fold higher cost than those that emerge later in life and are the highest single source of global economic burden in the world2,3.Understanding the economic implications while identifying the causal biological factors proved to me that medical intervention, alone, cannot ensure efficient management of childhood mortality due to mental illness. This led me to search and identify other external factors that either cause or/and affect the childhood onset and progression of mental disorders. Above the biological and psychological factors, society, policy, population, and poverty are identified interacting factors that acts directly to influence the disease onset, progression, and death. Being born in India where 25% of population still lives under poverty4, I soon gathered the importance of economic burden and society over the biological determinants of childhood mortality. This has led me to apply for two closely related MSc programmes at LSE- MSc in Health, Population, and Society, and MSc in International Health Policy.My primary objective to undertake this MSc programme is to develop a thorough understanding of the influence of socioeconomic status in developing economies on childhood mental illnesses. Secondly, to study the role of policy making in such economies that addresses poverty, ethnicity, disability, and geographical location of a population. Underlying these objectives, is the question of how childhood mortality due to mental illness regulates the population structure and growth of a country. This is important to know as mental illness and poverty are linked in a vicious circle. Since mental disorders generate long-term treatment and loss of productivity, it can be argued that such disorders contribute to poverty. On the other hand, low education levels, financial insecurities, and malnutrition have all been recognized as contributing to mental illness. This course will further allow me to understand the efficacy of existing alternative approaches in public health care and to analyse if there is a need for a shift in the delivery services from a hospital-centric to a community-centric model of care. Living in India has made me realise the many socioeconomic problems that challenges the Indian health sector. Through the MSc programme at LSE, I plan to utilise my training to addresses some of the challenges. As the socioeconomic status is inversely proportional to the childhood mortality, the challenge will be to develop an effective health policy for the developing economies that considers this phenomenon. I believe that this MSc programme will also provide insights towards ethnic diversity, GDP, health expenditure, public versus private models of finance, income inequality and structural differences in health policy that regulates population health. This would enable me to address the issue of how the most at risk and in need of health care services are the least likely ones to access those services.https://draft.blogger.com/nullCombining my interest in evaluating the extent to which population and society affect the mental health, my research experience in understanding the biological mediators of mental disorders in childhood and adolescence provides an ideal base for me to pursue an MSc programme in Health, Population, and Society. Further, my Masters in Biotechnology have taught me important concepts of biostatistics and mathematics that will benefit me in undertaking relevant courses during MSc like the Quantitative Analysis I and II, Social Epidemiology, and Statistical Methods in Health Care Economic Evaluation.In addition to my educational background, my previous experience involved conducting experiments, performing statistical analysis, drafting manuscripts, and communicating it to peer-reviewed journals. This process of collecting data, interpreting the findings and designing follow-up experiments has enriched my skill of analysing datasets and drawing implications from the study. Moreover, the lab environment has fostered in me the ability to implement ideas, to work independently as well as in a team, and to accept and build up on criticisms. Our weekly lab meetings provided an ideal atmosphere to develop my presentation skills while conveying my findings to lab members, courage to ask questions and express opinions. More importantly, living in a populous and highly diverse country like India has made me approach problems from different perspectives and thus reach a more objective overview. Therefore, I am certain that pursuing my studies in an internationally recognized university in UK will be an excellent investment for my future professional career in the health sector.In summary, I anticipate that my future studies will flow logically from my current interests and fit my career trajectory as a research scientist interested in health expenditure and health reforms in developing economies and its influence on population structure and growth. Understanding the economic factors that affect health of a population through the prism of biological sciences provides me with a unique background to join MSc programme at LSE. I believe that I have the potential to pursue this course and make significant contributions to help recognize that child survival and health outcomes across society are as much linked to socioeconomic policies that reduce inequality as they are to a country’s gross domestic product and systems of health care delivery.References:1.

We know he has done high level research, we know he has a passion for the field, and we know that his background as a student from India makes him particularly qualified for the programs he is applying for. His passion for helping others comes through; his work in the field demonstrates talent and future promise. It should come as no surprise that he was accepted to LSE (as well as to Oxford, King’s College, and the U. of Edinburg).I would like to thank Himanshu Sharma for letting me post his essay here. It is clear he has a very bright future ahead of him.His essay demonstrates his personal and academic interests. I bring this up as his words have also moved me to think about whether the questions colleges and universities in the US ask undergraduates to answer are useful to predicting academic success.Currently, the prompts on the Common Application focus on the personal far more than the academic. Many would argue that the essay are intended to help admission officers discover if the student is a good overall fit for the school. I agree and have written many times about the importance of fit. It is far more important than the name of the school a student goes to.On the other hand ,there are many in education who question if students applying to highly selective schools are judged too much on standardized tests, the number of APs/IBs they take, and the grades they earn. More and more schools are going test optional and more are questioning just how any APs a student need to take to demonstrate preparedness for a competitive academic environment. Given all the questions about selecting students via numbers, I wonder if the essay questions might be a way to determine not just fit but also academic success. I have yet to see a study that has examined admission essays furor students applying to undergraduate schools and whether they predict academic success.I am not suggesting that students have to apply the same way as student applying to graduate programs. I am suggesting however, that some research take place that might examine if essays, as they currently exist in the US or in other parts of the world do predict success. If not, then should the topics be examined to see whether another set of prompts might help admission officers select students who have academic passions and perhaps some background in a field or major they have an interest in. Some selective schools ask supplemental essay questions that address this and perhaps these essays should form the basis of a study that might determine if these kinds of topics should replace the current set of prompts on the Common Application.Asking more academically pointed questions tat all students who apply to Common Application schools might permit schools to use them in addition to the numbers that are all too often used as cut offs (although no school will readily admit this). It would perhaps permit greater latitude in selecting student through a holistic but academically focused process. What I am suggesting might be wrong headed, but in my professional experience in admission I always found that while reading applications to determine who were potential scholars those who had something significant to say that addressed or was related to academics often did very well in and out of class over the following 4 years. I would be grateful to anyone to comment about this suggestion. Maybe I am alone in thinking this might help the holistic process of selecting ‘the best’ students from among many students who have all the numbers that predict success.
