How to prepare for DAVV CET in Two Months:
Set specific targets: With around two months left for the exam, it is important that candidates' targets should be specific, time-bound and attainable. They must ensure that an appropriate amount of time is allocated to each subject. Candidates may face a situation where they will not be able to cover the pre-decided topics within the given time. To overcome this problem, you can set aside at least an hour to work on your weak links. Also, they need to customise
their study plan as per the changing time period.
Build conceptual clarity: Bringing conceptual clarity across areas will give candidates an edge over others. A conceptual understanding will help them tackle questions of varying difficulty level with relative ease. If they proceed without working on basics, they may get stuck in questions which will lead to a loss of time and confidence. It could be a simple problem in the Quant, LR or VA section, and candidates just need to keep pushing their limits. There is a lot of study materials available for DAVV CET both online and offline. It is essential that candidates get composite study material for exam preparation. Here is a list of the best books for the DAVV CET exam, candidates can refer to.

In case, aspirants need more clarity, they may either join a short online course or a coaching institute for further guidance. With fundamental concepts in place, their preparation journey would become easier and smoother.
Time Management: DAVV CET preparation requires a well-planned approach to time management. Candidates' target should be to persistently reduce the time taken to solve a question without losing accuracy. A regular attempt of DAVVCET mock tests and sample questions with conceptual clarity will help them ace the time management factor within a short span. To secure a higher percentile in the exam, you should understand the importance of proper time allocation for each section. Candidates should always start with their strong section to boost confidence. It often happens, especially in Reasoning section, that one gets stuck in a question and waste precious time which could have been used to solve other problems.
Mock Test and self-evaluation: It’s a common perception that practising multiple mocks is enough to get a good score in the exam. However, the truth remains, unless aspirants evaluate your performance in mocks and take necessary corrective action, they will only see a marginal improvement in your overall score. Hence, analysing mock tests to identify problem areas and rectify consistent mistakes is a must to improve the performance level and device preparation plans accordingly.
Revision: Given the time constraint, aspirants will not have more than a month left for revision, so they should choose topics wisely and strive to revise them within a stipulated time. They should also have a separate list of formulas and concepts, which you should revise at regular intervals.
