  • Revision will save the day: Candidates must revise all the important topics that they have studied for the ATMA exam, as revision will help you recall all the formulae and theories which will give you a stronghold over the topics. Brush up on all the theorems, formulae, and theories so that you do not miss out on any important questions. Revision will also help in strengthening what you have already studied.

  • Practice previous year's question papers and take mock tests: The best way to prepare for ATMA exam is to practice as many sample papers and mock tests as possible. Solving ATMA mock tests and sample papers will not only acquaint you with the type of questions and the difficulty level but also help you manage your time in the most efficient way while attempting the ATMA question paper.

  • Give your mind some peace: Sleep well before the night of the exam so that you feel fresh and calm on exam day. ATMA question paper is a time-based exam and it requires a calm mind to ace the Analytical Reasoning and Quantitative Skills section. A relaxed mind will fetch you a good score and you will be able to excel in the ATMA exam.

  • Reach on time with the necessary documents: Candidates must make sure that they reach the exam centre at least an hour before the exam commences. Leave your house on time keeping in mind the traffic and possible delays. Do not forget to carry the ATMA admit card as candidates will not be allowed in the exam hall without the admit card. Candidates also have to carry one photo ID proof (original and photocopy) such as a voter ID card, passport, Aadhar card, driving license, or college/university ID card. Candidates should also carry a copy of the registration form to the exam centre for the verification process. Take a printout of the ATMA admit card and keep it with you near your exam table along with an original photo ID proof
  • Stay calm and confident: Do not panic if you get stuck at a particular question while solving the ATMA question paper. Panicking will only make things worse and you might end up wasting too much time on one question. ATMA has sectional timing and negative marking. Hence it is advised that if you are stuck on one question, do not worry and move on to solving the next question.
