MCAER PG CET Preparation Strategy:
1- Begin your preparation early: If you begin your preparation much earlier than the scheduled date of the exam, you will have ample time to study, revise, and refer to different study materials.
2- Make your study time worthwhile: It is not necessary to study for the whole day, but concentrate and make the most of the hours you put into MCAER preparation.
3- Understand the detailed syllabus.
4- Obtain the detailed syllabus from the official site and clear any doubts you have about the exam syllabus.
5- Make a schedule: Charting out a study schedule and following it is necessary to ace the test. You must allow appropriate time for each topic, including revisions and breaks.
6 If you are unable to adhere to your study schedule, make up the time.
7- Revise as many times as possible: The more revisions there are, the better. If you have ample time, you can do multiple revisions of the subjects. In cases where time is short, you must learn to prioritize and revise the hard topics first.
8- Check your preparation status: You must perform various sample and mock tests and record the results. This is a check to SEE where you stand and what areas you need to work on to improve your results. For more details, you may visit the Shiksha MCAER PG CET page.
