TISSNET 2023: Last Month Preparation Tips
Cover entire syllabus: It is imperative for an aspirant to cover the entire TISSNET syllabus by now. However, with approximately a month to go, a candidate should be clear about his/her strengths and weaknesses. If a certain topic tends to confuse an aspirant, s/he should cover it and clear the doubts at the earliest because it often happens that the topics, we leave out of complacency, often spring a surprise in the exam.

Decoding the exam pattern: Unlike the regular MBA entrance exams, TISSNET Pattern lays emphasis on the social aptitude of the candidate. The questions in the aptitude and reasoning section are usually easy to moderate while in General awareness section, a majority of questions are asked from static GK.

Learning Shortcuts and formulae: Since time management is an important aspect of TISSNET, candidates should devise shortcut methods and have the formulae at their fingertips to save as much time as possible without compromising on the accuracy. Candidates should revise shortcuts and formulas of Mathematics and Logical Reasoning that they have learnt during their TISSNET preparation period. It is equally important to learn how these short-cuts could be implemented to get swift results.
Take Mocks: Practising previous year's TISSNET question paper and mock tests are key factors to acing an exam. This will help an aspirant devise his section-wise strategy during the exam. Suppose, an aspirant considers English as his forte, he should start with this section and finish it quickly so as to save time for other sections. An aspirant can build a time management strategy by taking a number of mocks. Apart from the complete mocks, candidates should also take sectional mocks for revision purposes of the weak areas.

Speed and accuracy should go together: For an aspirant, speed should not be the only consideration to perform well in the exam. After attempting every question, he or she should be doubly sure about the accuracy of his answers. While TISSNET does not have negative marking but TISS MAT which has been introduced last year does have the provision for the same.
Take breaks: An unregulated study regime could affect the mental health of a candidate. It is crucial for an aspirant to not get stressed out due to the exam. It’s always good to take a break and do something you enjoy. It could be meditation, a good piece of music or your favourite sport.
