NCHM JEE Preparation Tips: Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude Section

Candidates must keep the following things in mind while preparing for the Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude section for the NCHMCT JEE exam:

Clear your basics: To attempt questions from the Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude section, candidates need to work on their basics. If candidates feel that they do not have conceptual clarity on some topics, they must refer to their Class 8 NCERT books and clear their basics.

Regular practice: Regular practice is the key to success in the Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude section. Candidates should devote at least an hour every day to solving the Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude section of Class 10 difficulty level.

NCHMCT JEE question papers: Once candidates are over practicing enough questions from each topic of Numerical Ability & Analytical Aptitude, they should attempt previous years’ NCHM JEE question papers and sample papers.

Learn shortcuts: When it comes to Mathematics, learning shortcuts to solve questions and calculations becomes extremely important. By using shortcuts, candidates will be able to solve the questions much more quickly than before, thereby, saving ample time to attempt other sections.

Focus on accuracy: Candidates must ensure that all the calculations they do in the exam are 100 per cent accurate. Since there is negative marking of one marks, making silly calculation errors can cost a lot.
