Do not stress if you do not score too well in the SET mock test. Attempting mock tests will help you in increasing speed and accuracy as well.
- Analyse the Previous Years’ Question Papers: Spend at least an hour analyzing the SET previous years’ question papers to understand the marking scheme and to know which the important topics in the SET exam on which the majority of the questions are usually based. This will also help you in understanding the difficulty level of the questions asked in the exam.
- Do Not Start A Fresh Topic: Do not stress if you were not able to cover some chapter or topic during your preparation. Do not start a fresh topic in the last week of preparation as it will lead you being confused and ill-prepared on the topic. Focus on what you have prepared and capitalize on it.
- Prepare for the Exam Day: In the last week, make an exam day strategy in advance. Have a good eight-hour sleep, have a healthy breakfast and keep all the documents required at the SET exam centre. No amount of preparation is enough if you are stressed on the exam day.
