GCET 2022 Preparation Tips

Its very important to prepare for exam in a best way as to fetch good marks. Below are few preparation tips for GCET, which might can help candidates.

• Plan the preparation strategy as per the syllabus of Goa Common Entrance Test.
• Divide the topics into parts. firstly focus on difficult topics & then move on to easy ones.
• Candidates can make a suitable time table for the preparation for the exam.
• As the questions will be based on 12th std, so must follow topics of PCM of that level.
• Must make notes so that it can be easy to understand at a glance.
• Be consistent and try to finish one topic each day
• Practice at least one mock test paper every day to enhance speed and accuracy level.
