How to Prepare for TS ICET Exam
It is an advantage for students who start their exam preparation early compared to those who start only a month or two before the exam. To secure good marks and qualify for the exam, students should start with a strict and punctual timetable. As we have discussed earlier, there is high competition and a low rate of selection. Therefore, students must adopt a well-structured strategy to crack the exam. Here are a few exam tips that students can follow:
- Go through the complete syllabus, to know your weakness and strengths, so that you can make an effective study plan.
- Take help from the best book and other exam-related references. You can also consider watching YouTube lectures.
- Take consecutive breaks during preparation for effective learning, and to avoid stress.
- Solve a mock test daily to know your level and command over the topics.
- You can consider solving section-wise problems also.
- Go through the previous year's question papers to make exam strategies,
- Get enough sleep of 7 to 8 hours to reduce stress and improve learning skills.
