Writing CET paper

As i have mentioned in the first article, try to solve as many question papers as possible. Many friends of mine were asking me about the strategy that i used to solve the question paper. I saw few posts on the Pagalguy about writting the paper which suggested to concentrate on one's strong areas.

According to me there can not be any option as strong area and weak area. Its only a matter of 2.5 hrs that decide your future and needless to mention the competition is really intense. Out of 125000 students only 120 manage to get into JBIMS. You get hardly 45 seconds to solve one question. Moreover all the questions where you are strong may not be on the same page so you may waste 2-5 seconds every time you turn pages to find the questions which you want to attempt. And if you add these 2-5 seconds every time you turn the pages you will come to know that you may loose substantial amount time.

Another disadvantage can be, the ovals which you are supposed to darken as very small and close to each other, in case you try to solve the questions at random you may mark the answer for some other question (it happens under pressure). So again a loss of few marks which may cost you dearly. Remember the difference between the marks of the last person getting into No.1 institute and the first person getting into no.2 institute is 1 mark.

I will advice to start from the first question and attempt all the question till the end. If you find any question tough, if you don't get a click in 10 seconds,then simply skip that and move to next. If you spend more time on one question you may miss many other questions which usually are very simple, as simple as addition of two numbers.

And in the end if you are following the time limits then obviously you will be left with some extra time in which you can get back to those skipped questions. An important point as there is no negative marking in CET, do not hesitate in doing the guess work. And if you manage your time well then you will be in a position to do calculated guesses than doing it blindly.

As i have mentioned in first post you will get mastery over solving the question paper after solving at least 30-40 papers on your own. I managed to solve almost 190 questions, including calculated guesses.

Any comments are always welcome for improvement in blogs writing and feel free to put your query in the comments, i will try to answer them as and when i get some free time.
