>> Preparations for Net/JR/IIT GATE/MCA-M.Sc Entrance Exam/ SSC-CGL/GMAT/CAT/ GRE/TOEFL/ IELTS/IBPS/FCI/IIT JEE/CPT/ AIEEE/ DIET any particular examination should be done intensively. If you are an appearing candidate I would suggest starting from the beginning is best. Keep working hard until and unless you get it.>> For subjects like Mathematics and Statistics and Geography maps etc, practice is very important. One should also practice other subjects and should not treat the same examination, as an "experience gathering" exercise to get a chance for attempting for mains is a great thing, which you may not get again.>> Go through the unsolved papers of the previous papers and solve them to stimulate the atmosphere of the examination. Stick to the time frame. Speed is the very essence of this examination. Hence, time management is of crucial importance. Time management skills matter a lot in these Examinations. Most of the candidates appearing for the NET/GATE/CPT/PMT/CAT/GRE and equivalent exams have a lot of knowledge but lack time management skills. Within the given time slot you should be able to present all the information/knowledge in a coherent and logical manner, as expected by the examiner.>> For developing examination skills, keep practicing model answers while preparing for the ANY examination. This helps get into the habit of writing under time pressure in the mains examination. Sequential and systematic style of answering comes after a lot of practice and analysis of standard answers.>> Try to stimulate the actual examination hours to judge the performance and to plug any loopholes. Try for the best, don't lose hope, and always love your Hard Work. Revision of subjects is very important. The reason is that you have been preparing for months or years together. It is a human tendency to forget something after some time. Try to make a comprehensive timetable to get an adequate results.
