Got a poor result in your last exam and are dreading being questioned about it in an upcoming interview? Well, there are reasons for you to be upset as there are no two things about it that your poor academic score will be a topic of discussion during the interview and you will have to give an answer that sounds genuine and convincing at the same time. “Why poor academic performance? Top 10 answers to give”.
Say that you focused more on the practical areas
You can tell the interviewer that you believe in doing things and making them work rather than learning about them in the textbooks and that is why your grades are not really good, but you have all the practical skills, as you have been focusing on that aspect.
This is also going to help, but not a lot. You need to tell the interviewer that you were indisposed before or during the exam and that was the reason you could not get good grades. To substantiate this, you will need to produce a medical certificate.
Tell them that you indulged in sports and other extra co-curricular activities, back then
In case you were a sportsperson or into music or something else and have been taking that seriously during your college days and have won a few laurels for your college, then you can tell the interviewer about how you were passionate about the activity and everything else seemed unimportant in front of it. Certificates are going to help. Don’t forget to mention that you are a changed person now.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, to put down everything that they know in words and that two on a piece of paper with a time sword hanging on their head. But that doesn’t mean that you are not good at your subjects or lack the required knowledge, you can show them how good you in the workplace once you are hired.
Tell them that it's the work of your hands that matters if you are a medical student
What's the use of learning everything by rote and upchucking it in the exam, if you don't know what needs to be done in a real life situation? Tell the interviewer that you have done outstandingly well in your practical sessions when you were in college and that is what is most important.
Field work is most important for management students
There is no book that will ensure you the experiences that will teach you and one of the most important aspects of management is putting to practice what you have learnt, or everything will be a waste. Tell them you have interned in a similar organization and have the knowledge that is required to work in such an environment.
Say that you will be taking a diploma course for the subjects that you have lagged in
In case they are not really convinced with your performance you can tell them that you are ready to take a diploma course in a subject that you have poor grades in so that you can gain more knowledge in the subject and that will help you as you will be able to make an amendment to the previous low score in that subject and you will be able to meet the needs of the organization.
