Productive study sessions: TANCET 2025 aspirants must ensure they make the best of the remaining time. Even if one devotes three to four hours a day for TANCET preparation, s/he should spend another 30 minutes evaluating the learnings from each study session. Supposedly, if an aspirant covers three important topics in a particular study session and need more clarity on one of them, s/he should address that topic during the doubt-clearing session.
Set apart a different time to clear doubts: Apart from the regular study routine, candidates should set apart at least two hours for doubt clearance. They should not ignore topics that they are not comfortable in. They can take the help of TANCET study material, online tutorials or a mentor who specialises in TANCET exam.
Practice mocks: Generally, students start practising mock tests and solving previous year TANCET question papers after covering the entire syllabus. However, it should not be a rule of thumb for every aspirant. When there is less time in hand, the best way forward is to cover key topics and practice mocks simultaneously. It will help aspirants find their weak areas that need immediate attention. Then it will also help them learn time management and most importantly, gauge their ability to handle the pressure of the actual TANCET exam.
Revision: Aspirants can make a list of topics that requires revision regularly. Covering a certain topic is just the first step of TANCET preparation process, to ensure that the candidate confidently solves the questions in the examination hall, he or she needs to revise them regularly. It is important that the students work hard to make the best of their time and work qualitatively to get maximum out of each study session.
