Q:   How to avoid common mistakes in TISSNET?

A:
Tips to avoid common mistakes in TISSNET: - Last minute preparation: To give your best. Do not learn new tricks at the very last moment. This increases chances of confusion especially in case of mathematics problems - Don't get stuck: If you feel the problem is taking time, then leave and move to next. There is no point in wasting time in something which you don't know or which is taking time. It’s better to attempt 2 simpler questions than to crack a difficult one. - Don’t feel pressure: Getting under stress is the biggest mistake that we make just before the exam and prepare ourselves ready to lose the race. Make sure you are positive, remain cool and calm throughout the exam. - Enter with open mind: Our suggestion is not to get biased or limit yourself in attempting the number of questions. You may or may not attempt all the questions in all the sections, given the time constraint or for fear of getting penalty for wrong answer.
