During the appraisal
Present a positive attitude as soon as you enter into the appraisal room. This approach may lead to more constructive discussion of review items. Don’t take any negative judgement that are offered as personal attacks, but rather try to take them calmly, because if you put the failings right you will improve your performance.

After the appraisal
Create a list of personal goals based on your performance appraisal. Make the item detail and measurable if possible. Make and give the list to your boss so he or she knows you took the appraisal honestly. This list would help you to achieve higher scores on your next performance appraisal.
post six month of appraisal, you could ask for a half-yearly review with your boss to discuss your progress. This meeting would be more relaxed and informal than the official review. Ask for more feedback to help you improve. This will help you to get a nice hike in the next appraisal.
