Aspirants planning to prepare for DAVV CET 2022 in three months should cover the entire DAVV CET syllabus in the first phase. Here are some tips and tricks on how to prepare for DAVV CET in three months

How to Prepare for DAVV CET 2022 in Three Months

The difficulty level of the DAVV CET exam is usually easy to moderate. If a person is already preparing for CAT, XAT or other MBA entrance exams, s/he doesn’t need to invest extra time for DAVV CET exam preparation. However, if a person plans to prepare for DAVV CET from scratch, s/he will have to put in extra effort to get a score good enough to clear DAVV CET. Here are a few prep tips for DAVV CET preparation in three months.

Fix your weak links: While devising a study plan, an aspirant should be mindful of his strengths and weaknesses. While it is good to build on your strengths but ignoring your weak links may prove costlier during the exam. So, at the beginning of the DAVV CET exam preparation, candidates should make a list of topics that require your immediate attention and start working on it. If need be, they should take help from your teachers or peers but use the major part of the first month for clearing concepts.

Focus on the qualitative study: More than the number of hours spent on the study table, success will be decided based on candidates' attention span during the preparation phase. Even if they devote two hours a day, every single minute should be used qualitatively. Aspirants should assess their takeaways after each study session and work to improve their performance. They should study at an hour when their attention span is maximum and they feel refreshed in order to retain the knowledge gathered by them.

Practise DAVV CET Mock Tests: Practising mocks is essential for cracking any competitive exam. Candidates may practice mock tests simultaneously while covering the DAVV CET syllabus. For example, after completing a chapter or a section, they should take a sectional mock test. However, it is imperative for an aspirant to solve at least a dozen mocks and DAVV CET previous years question papers, to perform well in the exam. It will also help an aspirant devise a section-wise approach for the upcoming exam. Additionally, a candidate will be able to handle the exam pressure if he has already given a good amount of tests.

Don’t lose the intensity during the exam preparation period: It’s more than often we start our preparations with a lot of zeal and vigour but tend to lose focus our of complacency or lethargy with each passing day but the key to crack DAVV CET is to remain consistent and make your study session as productive as possible. You can make a list of topics, you have learned on the first day of your planned study session and compare it with the topics you have learnt or worked on every subsequent day.

Keep away from distractions: It is not only the study hours that will decide your fate in the exam. candidates' day to day activities will also have an effect on their preparation. During the preparation period, candidates should minimise the use of social media or any other habit that could be counter-productive for the exam. A healthy break from studies is always a good idea, it helps the brain regain focus. Instead, they can just stroll through a nearby park or listen to music for a while which will help them concentrate.
