Considered to be one of the biggest medical/pre-dental entrance tests, All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Test (AIPMT) is scheduled to be conducted on May 4, 2014 from 10 am to 1 pm. Conducted by CBSE, AIPMT sees a vast majority of students appearing for this entrance exam year on year . This year more than six lakh students have registered to appear for this medicine/dental entrance exam.

Clearing an entrance exam largely depends on your preparation, adopting appropriate strategy to solve the questions, as well as a little luck factor.

So, to help you ace AIPMT 2014, Shiksha.com has brought for you some last minute tips to help score well in the entrance exam.

Revise your course: We know that you may have spent all your preparation year trying to complete your syllabus. However, at this last moment if you have not been able to complete any topic then consider leaving it. It is always better to be thorough in whatever you have studied rather than going through topics which you can certainly not master at this last moment.

Go through sample papers: Referring to previous year papers of AIPMT is a good strategy to follow as this will help you know the trend of questions asked in the exam. Practice several mock tests as this will help you identify your weak areas.

Identify key topics to study: At this last moment, try and focus your attention on revising the important topics as these will fetch you maximum marks. Some of the chief topics which must be revised include:

Physics: Heat and Thermodynamics, Waves, Optics, Modern Physics.

Chemistry: Ionic Equilibrium, Electrochemistry, Chemical Kinetics, GOC, Carbohydrates, Proteins and Polymers, P Block, Chemical Bonding.

Biology: Human Physiology, Plant Physiology, Ecology, Genetics.

Make a revision key: This is the time to revisit your flash cards so as to revise all the important facts. They come in handy in the last days as you don’t have sufficient time to go through your books again.

Get enough rest: We advise that you catch up on your sleep and rest as much as you can before the exam because if you do not do this, you may be in danger of feeling sleepy or lazy during the exam which can affect your performance adversely.

Speed and time management: Being an extremely important exam, all students try to do their best and clear AIPMT and here your speed management and time management skills will come in handy. In AIPMT 2014, you are roughly given a minute to solve one question so you need to be extremely alert and quick in solving the exam paper.

Relax: We know this is hard but try and relax before the exam. Go out, play a little, this will help you to clear up your mind, which in turn will help you perform better as you will sit for the exam with a fresh mind.

In the end, we would just say that keep a positive attitude and stay confident and there is nothing in the world that can stop you. Just think about appearing for the exam and solving the questions to the best of your ability without thinking or getting nervous about the results.

We wish you all the best for AIPMT 2014!
