The much-awaited result of Federal Board Matriculation examination is now public. Results do not bring the same emotions to every student. Those who are successful in achieving the desired marks are happy with the conduct of the examination. On the other hand, students who are unable to score good marks feel depressed and dejected with such results.
There is always light at the end of tunnel and with a positive approach, one can find solutions to a problem. Likewise, students who unfortunately fail in the exam or score less marks can sit in the supplementary examination. It gives them a chance to improve their grades.
Should I improve my matric subjects?
It is a wise decision to look at all factors before applying for the supplementary exams. All this challenging work must translate in the results as increased marks. Therefore, one should only put serious efforts for the supplementary exams if there is gap of more than twenty marks. Moreover, knowing the reason for failure or decreased marks can only help in getting better results. Some students during the preparatory phase, face severe health issues which affects their preparation for the exam badly. Supplementary exams are a practical choice to increase the marks as there will be ample time to prepare the exam. Likewise, students often pay less attention to Urdu, Islamiat and Pak studies which cost them badly in the overall score. So, if you have enough margin to score good marks in a particular subject, you must improve.
