General Preparation Tips for TG ICET 2025

  1. Avoid studying more than 2 hours at a stretch for TSICET 2025 exam. If you are comfortable studying for long hours, take longer breaks of not less than 20 minutes. In the break time, keep yourself stress-free and away from syllabus completion thoughts. This is mainly because, if you continue with such thoughts, this will not relax your mind.
  2. Apply note taking strategies mentioned below-
  • Skim through the textbook, list down the questions, read, write and review it.
  • Check through the text you have written in the notebook. Put them in bullets, as it is easy to identify them.
  • Review and frame questions on the jotted points. This is a useful strategy to recall the points by you.
  • Reflect on the points and keep repeating them until you feel confident enough on any topic.
  1. Wherever possible try to use visual cues, as this is helpful in memorization of topics included in the TSICET 2025 exam or for formulas memorization. This will also help in the memorization of things. You can also make use of flashcards, as they are appealing in nature.
  2. Make sure to revise the topics within 24 hours. If you are touching upon the chapters that you have not studied for a long time or on the uncovered syllabus in the last few days, Recap, Review and Reinforce (3 R’s) is the best way you can adopt to prepare well in this section.
  3. Last but not of least importance is sleep well as it helps one to boost their memory. Your body needs at least 7-8 hours of sleep to remember all that you have studied.
