The ideal number of sample papers to be solved before the REET (Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers) exam may vary from candidate to candidate, depending on their level of preparation and understanding of the subjects. However, solving at least 10 to 15 sample papers can be considered a good practice to prepare for the exam. Solving sample papers helps candidates get familiar with the exam pattern, type of questions, and the time required to solve each question. It also helps them identify their strengths and weaknesses and work on them accordingly. Additionally, solving sample papers can help candidates build their confidence and reduce exam anxiety. While solving sample papers, candidates should try to simulate exam-like conditions, i.e. , attempt the paper within the time limit and without any distractions. After solving the paper, candidates should analyze their performance, identify the mistakes they made, and work on improving them. It is also recommended to solve previous year question papers in addition to sample papers as they provide a better understanding of the exam pattern and the level of difficulty of the questions asked in the exam.

To qualify the REET (Rajasthan Eligibility Examination for Teachers) exam, candidates need to secure the minimum qualifying marks set by the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE). The minimum qualifying marks for each paper are as follows:
A) For Paper-I: Candidates belonging to the General category need to score at least 60 per cent marks, while candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS categories need to score at least 55 per cent marks to qualify the exam. B) For Paper-II: Candidates belonging to the General category need to score at least 60 per cent marks, while candidates belonging to SC/ST/OBC/MBC/EWS categories need to score at least 55 per cent marks to qualify the exam.
