ANU CDE 2022 Exam Preparation Tips

Methods to Effective Study Approach: The first step to ANUCDE exam preparation is to make a proper plan. Candidates should check the ANUCDE 2022 syllabus and follow a systematic approach to topic selection. Randomly selecting topics will result in unnecessary confusion. It is best to create a timetable where aspirants include a minimum of three topics per day from each subject. Aspirants will have to balance their preparation by taking up the difficult topic and the other two comparatively easier topics. Allocate some time at the end of each day to practice sample questions to understand how well one has understood the topic. With limited time left for the exam, we recommend candidates understand your strong and weak points and prepare accordingly.
Good Memorisation Technique to Score High: While studying topics, aspirants have to make short notes alongside. The read and write method is considered one of the best memorisation technique for exams. It also cuts down the pressure to go through long notes before the test day. This technique is very helpful for the Mathematical Ability section as it helps in memorizing formulae and tricks faster.
Mastering the Art of Time Management: Time management skill is as decisive as creating a timetable for the disciplined study approach discussed above. In a speed-based test, it is important to utilise some quick tips and tricks to solve questions in seconds. Hence, it is advised to attempt the easier questions first and then move on to the trickier questions. The other tip to exercise time management skill is to apply short cut methods to answer 200 questions in 150 minutes. When practising the previous year ANUCDE question papers, they have to observe the strategy that helps them in solving a maximum number of questions in lesser time and apply that on the test day. This will also help in increasing the accuracy level.
