KCET Preparation 2024
Candidates need to study the relevant topics properly and revise them. They need to work hard and wisely by preparing a schedule and allowing time to each subject according to the syllabus. There is no substitute for hard work, but we can still use some tips and tricks to get better results from what we have prepared.
Time Management
- Time is a resource which once lost, can’t be retrieved.
- Never waste your time going through unnecessary topics or topics that have the least weightage.
- Preparation for the exam is your first priority. All other things come later.
- You can still go watch a movie or listen to songs to unwind from time to time.
- Make a time table for your studies and follow it consistently.
Be thorough with the basics
- The candidates need to be thorough with their eleventh and twelfth NCERT textbooks.
- Students wishing to get good ranks in KCET have to go through these books and understand the basic theories and their applications by heart, there is no benefit to mugging up things.
- Study the chapters from each textbook.
- The questions based on those chapters will be given at the back of each chapter. Go through them and solve them.
- Never go for the guides in the first phase itself. Try to solve them on your own first.
- If it is not possible, discuss those questions with your friends. If you are still not able to get answers then you can go to your guides or teachers and solve them.
- Understand how the problems are being solved and apply the same techniques to solve similar kinds of problems.
Download Previous KCET Sample Papers and Solve
- It is one of the better ways to understand your position in exams.
- Before writing the original exam you can go through several previous year question papers and understand the pattern of the questions they are asking.
- Download the question paper and solve it like how you would do it in the examination hall.
- Find out your scoring areas and weak areas.
- Work on the weak areas and try to solve as many questions as possible.
Revise the portions which you have studied
- Include time for revision in your “study time table”.
- Study those portions again and again.
- While you are revising, write down those portions which you have forgotten.
- Otherwise while writing the exams you will go blank.
