Hi to one and all,

I seen recent days more number of people are too much worrying about Preparation Strategy and Test Series

 

Preparation Strategy :-

Actually there is no unique type of preparation strategy which works for all, we have to implement on our own strategy which is suited us.

But note that a very important activity is revision. At last day, How many hours you dedicated to learn the concept in previous moths is not matter, How much subject you remember to attend the GATE question is matter which is directly propositional to how many hours you reserve for revision for a subject.

How can i revise continuously ?

Take a chart, make a cell for each day till the D-Day, choose subjects in round robbin fashion fill them in each cell.

on every day from today onwards, what ever your preparation may be, first give 2 hours to revise the fixed subject which is written on the chart to the corresponding date, after that start what ever you want to do according to your preparation.

At the end of the every day, make a note on the cell what you did whole day !

if you revise a subject, write it with number of hours you did that, if you read a new concept write it, if you wasted the day write it, even if you went the movie, write it also. At start of every day you should check what is your previous day performance, i am sure that will it BOOST UP you.

After the revision one more mandatory activity is practicing the problems, after the revision, as per your plan you studied some other subject ( with the help of GO or wiki or some other resource ), At the end of the day, please check the Previous year GATE questions with respect to the concept, and try to solve them, ( If you are following GO for those questions please read the complete discussion on that question, understand different perspective of different people on that question which helps you alot. )

After two weeks check your chart, If you see it, then you can automatically understand which subject troubled on the day of revision, then you can allocate some more time to that particular subject. ( My opinion, if you are completely unaware of any subject don’t try to learn in the month of January ).

While your preparation, keep one day as a blank between four days( due to only one month left ). Take any subject on that day, only practice the problems related to that subject. ( Generally most of the people takes test series try to write tests of that subject ), If any question troubles you, and you think it is a beautiful question, then immediately copy that question into your book. Due to this action you keep on seeing the question at time of revision.

 

Test Series :-

The first question comes into my mind is “ $\color{red}{\text{Is writing test series is necessary ?}}$ ”

Some of the people say yes, then i am asking “ $\color{green}{\text{what is your reason behind to take the test series ?}}$ ”

  1. Some of the people saying, Time Management, Then think is 3 hours of time not sufficient for you ? I mean there are 65 questions in the exam, 180 Minutes of time, one should understand we can’t touch 65 questions, let you want to attempt 60 questions, then average time for question is 3 Minutes. Is 3 minutes is sufficient for one question, on average, as per my opinion it is sufficient, So don’t worry about time management in GATE.
  2. Some of the people saying, Questions, yes but one should note that those questions ( which ever the test series ) should be based on previous year gate questions, So without practicing previous year GATE questions there is no use of taking any test series. If you already did all the GATE problems ( Some other standard question papers ) then you write test series for the purpose of questions.
  3. Some of the people saying, for knowing the competition, yes some what it can help to analyze the where we are in RACE. But one should know that, Most of the people even doesn't write the tests, most of the people who wrote test series, didn’t took it seriously. One more point which have to consideration is “ the answers provided by the test series may be wrong even questions itself wrong.

One more point which i have to mention, “$\color{blue}{\text{ Some of the people DISAPPOINTED due to the result of test series performance}} $”

yes it is a human tendency to disappoint when we doesn't perform well. But one should analyses the reason before disappoint, Is really you performed bad ? or due to the out of syllabus questions or ambiguity questions or more time consuming questions or wrong answer provided by them lead to score less ? One more point people should remember that GATE exam should consists easy questions, medium questions, hard questions and very hard questions. But these test series following this standard ?

( this blog is written in my perspective, If you didn’t agree with me, then follow your own ideas or approaches, i am not forcing anyone to follow my approach )

PS : there are many spelling mistakes or grammatical mistakes, please forgive me for that
