Personal Stories of Preparation and Performance

Memorable Experience: A Confident but Challenging Exam

I took the FIITJEE FTRE exam on December 24, 2017, and it was a memorable experience. As I walked into the exam hall, a mix of nervousness and excitement washed over me. I knew that this exam was a crucial step in my academic journey, testing not just my knowledge but also my ability to think critically and apply concepts in diverse situations. The exam itself was quite challenging but in a good way, with the questions designed to gauge my problem-solving skills and conceptual clarity.

The Mathematics section was the toughest, requiring deep analytical thinking. Physics tested my conceptual clarity, while Chemistry had a good mix of theory and application-based questions. Thankfully, I had thoroughly prepared with FIITJEE's materials and mock tests, which helped me manage the level of difficulty and the time constraints effectively. After the exam, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Regardless of the results, I knew that I had given it my best shot. When the results came, I was thrilled to see that my hard work had paid off, and I secured a significant scholarship.

Underprepared Student’s Perspective

A class 7 student, I had very little preparation for the FIITJEE FTRE exam. However, I participated in the exam with the hope of securing a scholarship. The paper 1 was relatively easy, but paper 2, due to negative marking and numericals, was quite challenging. I scored a total of 453 marks out of 723. While I am in class 9 and will enter class 10, I remain hopeful for a more encouraging result in the future.

Parental Perspective: A Highlighted Journey

As a parent, my daughter appeared for the FTRE 2017 exam which was a defining moment for her. Initially, she was least interested, appearing only for my sake. However, I surprised her by giving her a hall ticket just a day before the exam, leading to a tiff. Despite her anxiety and inadequate preparation, she managed to pass the exam with a positive mindset.

She scored 85 marks in the first paper and 25 in the second, totaling 453 marks out of 723. She was happy and relieved after the exam and remained optimistic about the results. The experience has inspired her to prepare seriously and dedicate more time to her studies in the future.
