negative marking in exam

 assalamualaikum w.b.t...

ada few students that asked me - 

1. akak, negative marking tu macamana?

2. effect dia banyak tak nanti?

3. why ada negative marking?

4. sebab tu ke orang takut nak ambik medic?

 

so, first thing first, negative marking ni wujud bukan kat semua tempat in medical examination.. dia ada kat satu section je which is True/False section..

1) negative marking tu macamana?

--> negative marking tu berlaku bila:

- jawab dan betul (1markah)

- tak jawab langsung (0markah)

- jawab tapi salah (-0.5markah)

contohnya, dalam satu soalan True/False tu, akan ada 5statements (a,b,c,d,e)..

so, u kena jawab all questions tu (nyatakan statement tu true/false)..

let say u jawab 3, tak jawab 2..tapi dari 3soalan yang u jawab tu only  2 yang betul..so, marks will be 3 - 0.5 = 2.5 :)

-->so better jawab or not?

- this one u need to ask urself :) tepuk dada, tanya iman..

- for me if that statement i hesitate either betul ke tak, tapi rasa macam true/false..so i will jawab true/false..that 'rasa' mostly correct :D

- but if that statement macam tak pernah dengar pun..memang tak pasti, so jangan jawab..

2) effect dia for the whole result banyak tak nanti?

--> TBH, tak effect banyak pun..just about 0.5-1% of the whole result je actually..

3) why ada negative marking?

-->haaa..this question me also pernah tanya waktu awal masuk dulu..sebab rasa macam tak adil..kenapa nak kena negatif marking..tak payah bagi marks jela..sampai masuk bilik lecturer tu ha sebab nak clarify the purpose of this negative marking :p

- but actually, this negative marking sebenarnya nak train u to be a good Dr and also a safe Dr..its a good thing actually..

- sebab by doing this, they can train u to be sure about your decision..bukan main decide je walaupun benda tu tak pasti..

- they wanna train u not to use 'eh, yeke..', or 'eh tersilap decision pulak'..haaa bukan ke tak safe macamtu kan..dengar pun dah tak safe, apatah lagi in real field nanti :D

- so, indirectly this negative marking make u be more careful about your decision..mungkin dalam exam just risau hilang marks je..tapi in real life u will deal with nyawa orang..so its not gonna be that simple :)

4) sebab tu ke orang takut nak ambik medic?

--> for me, jawapannya tidak :D why?

- sebab those yang NAK ambik medic ni mostly tak tau pun ada konsep macamni dalam exam :D dah masuk nanti baru tahu :p

- unless they came from medical background family, abang kakak Drs, or they do lotss of reading before applying :D

**in a nutshell, tak perlu takut pun dengan negative marking tu..just enjoy the ride..jangan stress2 :D
