Cracking entrance exams seems tough? Here are some useful tips to help you get through!


A lot on the plate already? 12th boards, and loads of entrance exams up on your sleeves?
It is indeed very tough trying to crack these entrance exams when your brain is already filled with the pressure of having to give your boards. But, it is not impossible though it may seem so at a glance. Let's make it a bit easier for you, shall we?

With a dollop of hard work, dedication and keeping in mind some small tricks and tips will help you crack any entrance examination at a go! Remember, cracking an entrance exam is not about hard work but about doing your best in the examination hall. Let's break it down one at a time.

1. Know your strengths and weakness - Everyone has their specific strengths and weaknesses and understanding that is the first step to cracking these giants like examinations. Playing to your strengths and sailing through the shortcomings is the best exam strategy you can bet on.

2. Create a study plan you can stick to - Planning and not working for it won't work. If you want to clear that SET exam Symbiosis or any other entrance exam this time, then create a study plan that is easier for you to stick to and also gives you enough time for your board's preparation. Give more time to topics that you find difficult and keep a buffer so that you can complete some pending tasks.

3. Use fewer theory books - Don't keep too many books for only one subject, that will only fuel the confusion in your head and not resolve as it is supposed to. Also, during the end preparation time, you will be immensely pressured to find a particular topic's answer from 6 different books conveying the same thing in different languages.

4. Reading the question paper multiple times - This is an old technique but is always useful. Examiners tend to play with the minds of the student, especially in their undergraduate entrance examinations by playing around with the questions and options. Watch out for the questions which are designed to have more than one correct answer, and you are supposed to choose the option with multiple correct answers.

5. Exam strategy - If you can plan your exam strategy carefully and stick to it is half the battle won. Most of the students focus on the difficult questions, and that takes consumes their time and their minds. Thus, they end up answering only 50% of what they are confident of. Instead, start with the easier questions and then move on to the difficult ones. That way, you can save time for some mind bogglers.

6. Previous year papers - Looking at the questions and options of the previous year questions of all the undergraduate entrance examinations you will be taking will give confidence in you to decide which of the questions have the probability of recurring this year too. This way, you'll get an understanding of solving the paper, and you can time yourself to see if you're able to complete it on time.

Keep these tips in mind, work hard, be patient, and voila! There's no one stopping you this time. All the best!
