The exam tests knowledge of 11th and 12th syllabus so it is important to focus on 11th and 12th standard NCERT textbooks which gradually start by practicing previous years papers and appearing for mock examinations.

It is important to give mock tests for candidates appearing for KCET examination as it provides a holistic view and it provides a realistic exam experience also helping the candidates for analysing strengths and working on weaknesses.
