Few last minute tips for CET

Here i will contradict myself when i say last minute tips. I don't really believe in last minute tips. CET or for that matter any management entrance test needs preparation and strategy designing from the beginning itself. I am going to list down a few general points about CET (These are my personal views, some people may disagree. Kindly follow only those things which work best for you.)
  • Believe in yourself- nothing is impossible
  • Have a sound sleep for 7-8 hours before the day of the exam.
  • Last day preparations won't help much in CET so don't waste time in trying to learn new topics.
  • Solve only one mock on Saturday, try to do it between 2:30 to 5:00 pm.
  • Stay away from unnecessary worries about results, just concentrate on exam.
  • Do not try to change your strategy at the eleventh hour, it may not work.
  • Don't even think of other aspirants, once you start solving the paper don't take your eyes away from the question and answer sheet,not even for a second
  • Keep your mind cool on Sunday. Try to be with someone with whom you are most comfortable.
  • Double check if you are carrying everything that is mentioned on the hall ticket. Have a backup of everything. (This may sound childish but people make these mistakes and then ask others for pen and pencil)
  • You will get the answer sheet at least before 10 minutes of the scheduled time. Fill in all the details with utmost care.
  • Once you are done, try to meditate for 2-3 minutes. Think of the best person in your life or say it to yourself- " I am going to win today because i am the best"
  • As i have mentioned in my earlier posts do not waste too much time on a single question. If you feel you wont be able to solve the question in 45 seconds simply skip it or take a calculated guess.
  • If at all you get some tough questions one after the other then don't panic simply turn the question paper pages and start from the last question (be careful while marking answers in this case). Believe me in CET speed is what matters the most, so don't get stuck on any particular question.
  • Once you are done with the exam, do not discuss any question with any of your friends, however close he/she may be may be. It unnecessarily creates confusion for you as well as for the other person.
  • I would even say don't look out for solutions by coaching classes. Just sit back and relax till the results come out. Of course between you will need to start preparing for GD-PI which i will address in another post.
  • One most important point - Do not eat heavily before the exam otherwise you may feel sleepy which may result in slowing down while solving paper.
Wish you all the best for exam. Do your best.
