Top Approach to crack Entrance Exams With Good Marks

Tips for getting Good Rank in CET :

• For a good rank in CET start your preparation after 10th class board examination. Merely passing in CET does not guarantee you a place in engineering college if you don’t stand high in CET merit.
• While studying at home, do a question time-bound. This will increase your speed. But remember if you are not able to do it in that time, don't give up by looking at the answer, try again. Even after giving it a good time you are not able to solve you may refer solution or may ask your teacher or here itself.
• Clear your basics, concepts and fundamentals, develop understanding of topics; this will improve your marks in class and will add to your rank in CET. Focus extensively on solving problems including numerical questions. This will improve your test taking abilities and applications of theories, principles, and logic sets.
• Regularly solve model papers. The CET question paper is in English medium, so be familiar with terminologies used in physics, chemistry and mathematics in English, if you are a non-English medium student. Language won’t be a big problem as the questions are objective type.
• Make a proper plan of your syllabus. Divide it among parts. Layout weekly tasks rather than daily ones. Give time to revision as well. Remember, reading one book 5 times helps more than reading 5 books once. Stick to good books. But the more important part is that you study them thoroughly.

Preferred Books

Following books contain & cover the necessary portion :

• Himalaya
• Pradnya (which is of Latur pattern but it is good one)
• Marvel
• Modern publications for each subject.
