CUET UG 2023: Effective tips to prepare for ‘General Test’ section
With the Common University Entrance Test (CUET-UG) 2023 just around the corner, students are eyeing diverse strategies to foster their preparation for this prestigious national-level exam.
Section 3 of CUET which is the General Test comes as a crucial part which, if attempted well, can significantly enhance the chances of students to secure a good score. Below are some effective tips to allow students to design an effective strategy for cracking the general test segment of the exam:
Stay updated with current affairs
The CUET General Test 2023 encompasses topics related to current affairs, general knowledge, and quantitative reasoning. This makes it imperative for students to stay updated on current national and global developments. Reading newspapers and journals on a daily basis in this regard can help students stay informed and perform well in the exam.
Chalk out an exam strategy
To ensure comprehensive preparation for the CUET General Test 2023, creating an exam strategy is a must for students. They need to recognise their areas of strength and weakness from the list of topics and prepare accordingly. It would also be of immense help to them if they prioritise the topics which they find difficult and devote more time to them.
Frame a daily study schedule
Once students have designed an effective exam strategy, they need to create a daily study schedule that they can stick to. It is also important to cover at least one subject daily and be consistent with the study schedule.
Practice mock tests and previous years’ question papers
A detailed understanding of the curriculum is essential to succeed in this segment and score exceptional marks. Taking mock tests helps students determine the areas that require improvement and lay emphasis on them. Also, with routine practice, they can acquire a substantial understanding of the examination and better manage their time on the day of the exam.
It is also advisable for students to avoid covering new topics and this may add to their confusion. The best approach here would be to continue revising the topics that have already been covered and focus on the fundamentals.
Candidates appearing for the CUET exam must also note that the exam pattern witnesses minor changes every year. Hence, it is important to visit the official website and comprehensively review the exam pattern to comprehend the exam’s latest structure and format. This comprises the number of sections, types of questions, marking scheme, and duration of the exam.
Lastly, students should considerably focus on their physical and mental health during the final stages of their preparation. Getting adequate sleep and adhering to a healthy diet and routine can go a long way in boosting their performance.
