Students’ Speak: Things to keep in mind for KEAM 2020 preparation

By: Manish Motwani

When you start the revision, don't relate It with your mains performance. Take KEAM as an opportunity to do better than JEE Mains.

KEAM is a speed contest. One needs to have good knowledge of subjects and better calculation speed. Hence, time management is an important factor here. In this article, I will help you with these tips and tricks in some last days preparations guidelines and how one can manage between the entrance as well as board exams.

Here, the paper is of 120 questions that have to be answered in a duration of 150 minutes. Hence, the paper time is sufficient per question. Reading the paper initially is a useful tool. One can also highlight answers while reading the paper itself. Do mark the answers along with the paper itself and don't postpone it for last.

When you start the revision, don't relate It with your mains performance. Take KEAM as an opportunity to do better than JEE Mains. Start solving last year questions and analyse your performance. Try not to repeat similar mistakes, such as solving the toughest part first or ticking the wrong answer in OMR. Always keep in mind your dream campus that will keep you motivated and energized.

How to manage 12th entrance with the entrance exam is a crucial point to be discussed. In my opinion, try doing the syllabus from the first day itself. In all entrance exams, one needs to score at least 75% to be eligible. Also, there are various scholarships and benefit available by government and state-funded universities for toppers where you can study at very low cost. Hence, start by doing common topics that are in both entrance exams as well as in the Boards. Boards require in-depth subjective knowledge of papers, so try reading and learning all topics so that you can write full answers based on it. Along with it, try solving the questions. This strategy will help you to cope up in the last weeks before KEAM.

For revision, in physics, solve H.C Verma's Concepts of Physics to revise all the fundamental concepts. do the last year questions and for practise solve mock test series.  For chemistry, N. Awasthi's in Physical Chemistry, NCERT for Inorganic and J D LEE for Inorganic and Organic Chemistry will be more than enough.

At last, believe in your preparation and try to keep calm while solving the questions. As advice carry a wristwatch with you in the exam hall and a ballpoint pen with broad point nib as it will save time while filling the OMR.
