All students who are preparing for the exam for the last few months should check their notes, short notes and formula sheets to check for the clarity of concepts. In case of any confusion, they must immediately contact their mentors for clearing their doubts.
Do not start a new topic
If students are preparing quite long for the exam, there are very few chances that they have left any topic out of the GATE syllabus. However, if a student didn’t go through any of the chapters, there is no need to start it now. Rather such students can improve their preparation of the other topics. They should also check for the important topics for their subjects.
Practice Previous Year GATE Question Papers and Mock Tests
Students must solve GATE previous year question papers and appear for the mock tests. They must make sure that question papers are solved within the same time as that of the exam. It will help the students to understand the GATE 2022 exam pattern and manage their time. GATE mock tests and previous year question papers will assist students in knowing their preparation level and weak topics. Students will also get a fair idea about the pressure they may encounter during the exam by appearing in the full-length tests.

It will help in relaxing their mind and keep them energetic for the next day study.
