 Know the Syllabus

Knowing the syllabus of any competitive exam is very vital for any aspirant as it allows them to focus on what they need to study. This is the primary step in the direction of instruction of any competitive examination. There are four sections in TANCET paper: Business Analysis, Reading Comprehension and Verbal Ability, Quantitative Aptitude and Data Sufficiency.

Solve Previous Years’ TANCET Question & Sample Papers

Practising preceding years’ question papers is considered one of the fulfilment mantras of many successful candidates. To do well in any competitive exam previous years’ papers are an important tool. Treat these papers as your actual exam paper and attempt it in time. This will assist you with your time control and raise your confidence.

Another important aspect is the sample papers. Solve as many as you can during your preparation time. Sample papers are primarily based on new styles. They give you insight into new questions and assist you in aligning with the new format of exam.                                                        

After attempting sample paper you will come to recognise your weak point and strengths which you can work on in time. Most of the times you are making silly mistakes in calculations and your entire query is going wrong. Practising sample papers will help you in recognising your mistakes and work on them.     

Revise Key Concepts

It is a must-do before the examination. If the subjects that you examine a month or month earlier than examination are not revised then they are useless. While going through topics continually make notes and write down vital formulae. It is advised not to study new subjects a day earlier than your examination. Give your complete time to revision.

It is vital to make sure revision is protected for your weekly examine schedule. One of the best ways to revisit and refresh anything you had previously studied is to revise the whole lot that changed into done in the previous week.

Stay Motivated

Staying encouraged is difficult. Sometimes, while solving sample papers you are not able to resolve a particular problem even after spending more than the desired time on that question or you could not attempt enough question inside the paper. In such conditions, you feel tense.

Whenever you feel that you are unable to solve a question, leave it and attempt it again after a few minutes. If you are able to solve it, then find out where you were going wrong.
