UGC NET Last Minute Preparation Tips and Guidelines

Revision

The importance of revision can never be emphasized enough. It is proven that thorough revision increases the retention rate.  Always prepare short notes while studying. Be it any exam, ensure that you make concise and clear short notes to revise the topics. These short notes will help you to recollect the concepts during revision. It ensures that you need not have to go through the entire study material to revise. They are also useful for quick recap after every chapter.

Time management

Since UGC NET is conducted in online mode, time management is an important factor. As each question is to be attempted compulsorily, the candidate should manage time such that you get enough time to complete the test. Cover the strong areas first. Do not dwell on a question for too long. Give a maximum of one minute to solve a question. Any question that requires more time should be left for later. Leave those questions out that requires more attention. Return to them later once you have finished the rest. Keep track of the time as you move forward during the exam.

Online practice

On way to learn to manage time is to attempt online mock tests.  This gives a feel of how the real exam is like. This will also help in knowing the pattern of the exam. Also, knowing what to expect will help you boost your confidence and makes you stress free. Another benefit of attempting online tests is that, it improves your speed and accuracy.

Improve speed and accuracy

Being a time bound online exam, it is important that the candidate attend all the questions within the speculated time. For this, speed is an important factor. Also, attempting the questions alone does not suffice to crack the exam. What matters is that you attempt the right answers within the time. So, accuracy is also important. Attempt as many practice tests and mock tests as possible to increase your speed and accuracy.

Do not over stress

No matter what you do to crack the exam, over stressing can result in bringing down all the results that your efforts could reap. So, try not to stress to much about the exams. Practice meditation and yoga to keep your nerves under check. Stay calm and give your best shot.

Conclusion

Last minute preparation should be all about brushing up the topics that you have learned. Do not go in for detailed revision. Revise your short notes and keep attempting mock tests. Above all remember to stay calm.
