DAVV CET 2022 preparation: Key tips and tricks

  1. Clarify key concepts: Since all three sections are equally crucial, aspirants should devote requisite time to each one of them. While building on one’s strength, the candidate should not just hold off their weaker links. They can either refer to books or online study materials to clear their basic concepts. If you are preparing for other competitive exams like CAT, XAT or MAT then you are good to go for DAVV CET as well.
  2. Practice DAVV CET Mock Tests: There should be two approaches while practising questions set on the lines of the DAVV CET pattern. An aspirant should, initially, take section-wise practice sessions and solve questions within the given time span. This will help them explore areas where they need to improve. Once they are confident about all three sections, they can attempt the whole DAVV CET mock papers in one go.
  3. Focus is the key: Since there are still more than six months left for DAVV CET 2022, aspirants should not lose sight of the fact that being consistent during this period will help them in the long run. Just envisage a study plan and stick to it till the completion of the DAVV CET entrance exam.
  4. Time Management: DAVV CET 2022 will be a 120-minute exam with 100 Multiple Choice Questions. Students will get four marks for correct answers while one mark will be deducted for every wrong attempt. So it is crucial for the candidate to be cautious while attempting questions. At the beginning of the DAVV CET 2022 exam, candidates should quickly go through the paper and start from the section where questions are easier. Once you are done with easier ones, you can solve the remaining questions thereafter.
