While solving, you should be able to give correct answers to most number of questions. That is, at least 50-60% of questions with proper accuracy.
Practice well while focusing on time management: Time management is most crucial in Tier II preparation. Be strict and discipline yourself to stick to your plan and complete the syllabus on time. Keep a stopwatch by your side and solve maths problems as fast as you can. It will boost your timing and increase your confidence before the exam. Take English and Quantitative aptitude tests available separately on SuccessLynk that will help you score well.
Pay attention to scoring topics: English is one scoring subject. Understand that the exam tests your right usage of words in different contexts but not the ornamental usage of words. It’s difficult to build your vocabulary in a short time. Hence a daily practice of English language test of SuccessLynk is a must. You’ll be drilled through a variety of questions that help you to score well. Pay special attention to direct/indirect speech, rearranging, active/passive and use different memory tricks to remember; for example, remember idioms by seeing the pictures in your mind.
For quantitative aptitude, do not underestimate basic calculations. Memories squares, cubes and multiplication tables. Pay special attention to arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, geometry and mensuration. First attempt straight-cut formula based questions as they are easy and do not take much time. Then attempt medium-difficulty questions and then attempt the difficult and time-consuming questions in the end.
Take online mock tests: Going for online test series and practice papers from SuccessLynk is a sure shot way to keep you ahead of the competition in Tier II exam. The uses of online test series are numerous.
- You’ll know your performance and time management in your exams and will be able to enhance them.
- You’ll know your mistakes and will be able to learn from them.
- You’ll understand where you have miscalculated or paid lesser attention. It will help you to increase your attention during exam.
- You’ll be habituated to spend the least amount of time on a single question and optimize your performance.
- You’ll improve your problem solving skills and your approach towards the test
Evaluate and improve your performance: After every mock test, take feedback from SuccessLynk and analyse your score. If proper analysis is not done, then you will only get used to the exam format or timings but you will not be able to increase your overall score. For your test series, make note of:
- The time taken to answer each section and the average time for each question
- The question(s) that took max/min time
- The easiest and the toughest sections and the questions
- Your accuracy rate and the number of attempted questions
Analyse these aspects and understand the feedback given by SuccessLynk properly and make changes in your approach to increase your accuracy and the overall score.
