Q. When did you start preparing for CUET Exam? What all books did you refer to?
A. I started preparing for CUET Exam 2022 after my boards. Since the syllabi of the boards and the CUET were almost the same and we had appeared in the first term exams in the MCQ format, I had some rough ideas on how to go about with the preparation. As for the books, NCERTs are the main ones. Besides, I also referred to Oswaal and Arihant for test papers. Reading newspapers helped me in the language domain. YouTube videos were also quite a help in my preparation.
