Diligent Revision

Focus on your areas for improvement

 As you keep on revising your notes and solving the GATE sample question papers, you can find certain topics which seem to be difficult. Revisit the prepared notes again and attempt to solve questions of varying levels of difficulty to bring down your weak points.

Refrain from studying new topics

 Beginning a new topic will not only reduce your revision time but it might also be strenuous for you at the last moment. Candidates often try to study every topic prescribed in the GATE Syllabus 2024 and end up remembering only a small aspect of it. It is a more fruitful alternative to lay emphasis on important topics and attempt questions on them.

Undertake a mock exam rehearsal

Find a quiet area and start attempting any mock test or sample question paper. Take the test with a timer of 3 hours and be determined to complete the exam within that time frame. Such a practice will help you evaluate your time management and speed skills.

Keep track of time 

The pre-exam period is a crucial time for candidates to utilize to the best of their capacity. Candidates are advised not to waste time watching movies or planning a day out with friends as every minute is of utmost value during this time. Make a small pocket notebook to note down important points related to the subjects and go back to it frequently to increase your recall skills.

Maintain proper diet

In order to perform to your fullest potential in the GATE 2024 exam, make sure that your maintain a healthy diet and light physical activity. Candidates should refrain from eating junk food because a single illness can dampen your chances of putting forward your best effort.
