Preparing for competitive exams in short duration


Preparing for competitive exams in short duration

After you're done with your 12th grade, you'll have to face many competitive exams within a very stipulated time. Given a short duration of time, the question of how to crack these exams are worth discussing and these points will surely help you out.

1. Always Start Early: The competitive exams test the aptitude of a student and not the knowledge. It is therefore always better to start off early to get enough time to synchronize the board exams with your competitive exams. This can also buy you enough time to set aside more time for difficult topics.

2. Keep distractions aside and change your habits: Taking up a whole new routine can help you set aside more time for studies. Keeping distractions away and properly dividing time appropriately makes you stress free. You can keep a limit on time spent on meeting your friends, watching TV or playing on smartphones, etc. for at least this time of the year.

3. Make a study plan: You have to have both short term and well as long term plans, including the time division for each subjects. Charting out what is to be studied during the current day comes under short term plan, while assigning these many days for each subject comes under long term plans. Harder subjects should be assigned with more days, and the other way around too.

4. Start practicing form question banks: Question banks will have all sort of problems and are most appropriate while preparing for the exam in the last minute. Also, as it will have questions that would've appeared in various exams, it will help you master the concepts within short period of time.

5. Follow the Golden Rule: Easier Subjects First, Harder Subjects Last: Easy and tough subjects are dependent on the student's aptitude for the subject. It is always preferable that you go for your comfortable subjects first and then later allot more time for your difficult subjects. This will help you score better for the subjects that you're already familiar with and also understand your tough areas.

6. Highlight All the Difficult Concepts In Different Subjects: Highlighting the important points in the book helps one take a mental note of points. This might be helpful while revising the subject as you can skim through the important points easily whenever you can.

7. Practice Previous Year Questions Papers: Practicing previous year question papers help you get an idea on how the questions are formulated and on the areas they come from. The manner in which they're asked will also be familiar to you once you've gone through the papers. However, you can't completely rely on them either.


8. Revise: Revision is something that you can't miss out. Keep aside time for revision, even if you've not gone through the whole syllabus. It is revision that refreshes your mind and makes concepts stay fresh during the examination.

9. Follow smart work: Most of the competitive exams are not knowledge based and are about aptitude and reasoning. It is therefore advised that students follow smart work than hard work. You have to understand the concepts clearly to solve the questions and mugging up will not help you score in exams.
