How to crack NMAT?

NMAT is also considered as important entrance exam along with CAT, GMAT and other ones. So, like all those exams NMAT also needs attention on preparation and making results.  Here we are trying to provide some advices for clearing NMAT easily and successfully. 

  1. Know the pattern and nature

Every entrance exams are one of the filtering steps for the admission process. But still, each of them differs from others, mainly based on their pattern and what they look for. Some concepts, which are given prime attention in an exam, may not have given that much attention by another. So while preparing for any exam, try to analyze the concepts and its importance given in the exam pattern. Refer previous year’s papers for getting an idea on the important topics, which will help to crack the exam easily and effectively.  Also, try to manage study time properly, if you prepare for more than one exam, in the same stream itself. 


  1. Be thorough with the idea

It will be always good if you study a concept thoroughly. While preparing for exams which will lead to your dreams, make sure that you never become passive on your studies. Even though you have competed very less topics, make sure that you are good enough with them. Clearing concepts will take you to heights, which a careless study cannot do. Also, the clear idea on topics will help to complete mock tests and actual tests in a better way, by increasing your confidence level. 


  1. Maintain a regularity in studies

Always try to remain in a state of equilibrium in your studies. Maintain a consistency in preparation will lead to have a calm and clear mind, which will improve your memory capacity.  Also, try to keep you away from distracted, throughout your preparation period. If you need to clear the exam with a good score, try to keep you in a straight line, with a focus on your goal only. 


  1. Equal importance for all topics

We always hear that making a classification in topics, based on our strength and weakness will help for getting god marks. This is correct up to a level. We always should make a mental chart on topics, based on our knowledge and capacity. But still, we must ensure that we give equal importance to all these sections, which includes our strengths and weaknesses. Periodically, we should analyze this classification, to identify the concepts which we may ignore from covering. This planning will surely lead for success, if we work on it properly. 


  1. Accelerate your study speed

Even though understanding the concepts clearly is very important; you should always try to boost your study speed, by trying to cover all topics fast, without any mistakes. If you fail to manage the speedy covering of all topics, you will be equipped only with less knowledge. In this aspect, first try to speed you calculations and readings. When you are able to manage calculations in a fast way, you can find out more free time in the exam hall, which can be utilized for making revisions on your answers. Also, speedy answering method will limit your unanswered questions to very few or zero. Still there is no negative marking in NMAT, which will in turn reduce your marks based on your blank answers.  So make sure that you attempt all questions, even if you do not know right one. 


  1. Exploit mock tests to the maximum

Mock tests are the best way to assess your own preparation. For any big exams, use mock tests to the maximum, if you really wish to top in the list. It will give you some tips on how to manage the exam, and to know the faults in your preparation. Now days, there are a number of mock tests available in internet, for various exams. Use those mock tests to the maximum you can, to mould yourself to clear the exam. Also, try to clear yourself, by understanding the mistakes you have made in you studies, using them. 


  1. Use chances for appearing in the exam

NMAT provide three chances for each person to appear for the exam. In these three chances, best marks will be considered, for all candidates. So, make sure that you use this opportunity wisely. In case if you miss two chances, make sure that you appear for third chance with full preparation than the previous one. Usually there will be a time gap of three to four weeks among all chances.  So be sure that you use this opportunity rightly, to achieve your dreams.
