Don’t start any new topic - In the last few minutes leading up to the exam, you must focus on already-studied topics. Don’t start any new topic at random, because it will eat up precious revision time.
Solve sample papers: With a few days left before the exam, you must solve as many SEED sample papers as possible. This will help you improve your problem-solving and time-management ability. Also, this exercise will help you fix minor errors and give you a lot of confidence going into the exam.
Take mock tests: SEED mock tests are meant to get an exam-like ambiance to practice in. The purpose of the mocks then is to understand the exam dynamics and how to navigate through them, be it handling pressure, deciding which questions to attempt first, etc.
Keep your composure during exam preparation: If you have high expectations, there is a great chance you will be under pressure to perform. In such cases, it is important to stop fretting over what may happen in the future. Instead, focus on the now, something that is under your control. Overthinking can also lead to stress and burnout, so don’t let your mind wander. If you feel like pressure is building inside you, leave your study desk, have some fun, listen to some claiming music, and do something to get detached from the pressure.
Eat healthy and sleep tight - One good way to release the pressure is to sleep tight and eat light and healthy food. If you have a good night’s sleep, it will simply reenergize you and you can again hit the ground running.
Make an exam-day checklist - On the day of the SEED 2024 exam, you will need to bring the admit card and a valid photo ID proof. Admit cards for SEED 2024 will be available to download from January 31 onwards. You must download the admit card and keep a photo ID proof ready for exam day. By keeping the essentials ready, you will not be in any panic on exam day and will reach the SEED exam center on time. Apart from this, read the instructions given on the admit card properly.
