Preparation for BITSAT
How to study efficiently :
- It is essential to cover only the prescribed syllabus. More the time you spend on
studying outside the syllabus, the more time you may be wasting on questions that
might not even be included in the final BITSAT.
- Since the test is computer based, you should have at least a working knowledge of
the same.
- It is a good idea to start by revising your 11th and 12th standard NCERT syllabus
for mathematics, physics and chemistry.
- For additional preparation you can also rely on numerous reference books easily
available in the market. Stick to the ones recommended by other students who have
already studied from them.
- Reference books should provide you with a wide variety of multiply choice questions,
covering the entire syllabus.
- Don’t rush into taking mock BITSAT’s. You should cover the entire syllabus once
and practice from reference books at least 2-3 times before attempting the preparation
test for BITSAT.
- You should be thorough with basic concepts and formulaes.
- You are not allowed to use a calculator for solving mathematical questions. It is,
thus, important to brush up on your calculation skills .
- Study from a good quality study material for the reasoning section of BITSAT. Try
to devote a specific amount of time to the preparation of this section daily, as
you might not have studied reasoning in your 11th or 12th standard.
- At the time of the exam, start with the section you are most confident about.
- As there is a negative marking of 1 marks for every incorrect answer, try to avoid
wild guessing. However, a calculated guess will not do too much harm. Remove the
option which is least likely to be correct. Guessing from 3 options would obviously
reduce the risk factor a great deal.
- Time management can help you succeed in BITSAT. Allocate a specific time to every
section and try to complete the section within that time frame.
- Don’t get stuck at one question. If you are getting confused and are unable to find
the right answer, skip the question .
