Revision Plan
The first & foremost step is to build a sound & feasible plan for your
preparation.
Divide your entire time into a reasonable time chart with milestones in
between & plan your studies
accordingly. Do not overestimate the time you have. You are advised to
leave free time in between so that if any module gets delayed you don’t
have to change the plan.
Study the trend of previous year question papers & draw marks distribution
of each subject to find out which topics are most important & which are
least. Give priority to important topics & try to put them in early stage
of your preparation to avoid any possibility of them being left.
Review your plan periodically to find out if there are any lapses & how
they can be covered up.
To summarize PAGE counselors believe that most of the student’s fail not
because of lack of ability or intelligence but because of lack of desire,
direction, proper planning & discipline.
Fundamentals
Most of the questions are based on fundamentals & their applications. So,
the first step is to establish a solid base by mastering the fundamentals.
For mastering the fundamentals you have to be focused. Don’t refer too
many books. Decide about the books after discussing with your trainer at
PAGE then stick to them.
Devote equal Time to every Subject
All the subjects are equally important. Devote more time to subject/topic
you are weak in (remember most of us tend to devote more time on areas we
are strong & often shy away from our weakness). In most of the
examinations minimum qualifying marks are there for each subject. Hence
make sure that you do not ignore any subject & allocate adequate time to
each subject
Quality is more important than Quantity
Quality is more important than Quantity: Doing 100 quality & concepts
based questions is more important than doing 1000 questions which have not
been selected carefully. Remember that the purpose is to sharpen
problem-solving skills. Start with conventional methods of problem solving
but improvise constantly & build you own shortcuts & ways of attacking a
problem.
While practicing the problem always try to solve the problem on your own.
If you are unable to solve a problem do not hurry to consult the solution.
Study the relevant theory again, paying attention to the finer points and
the problem in the back of mind.
While doing problem solving try to strengthen and develop your conceptual
understanding by analyzing deeply and correlating the problem with real
life situations.
While practicing identify your strong & weak areas (subject wise/topic
wise/question wise). Testing your preparation chapter by chapter can do
this. Through a structured test you should be able to diagnose which
chapter, which concept & what type of problems you need to practice more.
Improve your strike rate
Always keep track of your average speed of solving questions.
Participating in PAGE identical test series helps in time & temperament
management during the final exams. It has been observed that most of the
students loose 15 to 20% of their marks not because they do not know the
subject but because they fail to apply the basic concepts correctly. This
is basically due to examination fear & pressure. These marks that a
student looses because of silly mistakes (calculation errors, confusion,
fail to apply the right concepts, solving the problem by long method) can
be reduced if a student regularly participates in test series based on the
pattern & level of final exams.
Compare your preparation
The student can also simulate the exam like conditions through PAGE
training program.
Get a feedback on your preparation by getting yourself tested by a body
other than your College. Testing by PAGE would give you an independent and
unbiased feedback about your performance. It is preferable if these tests
give feedback on National level.
Please remember that both speed & strike rate are important for success.
Continuously develop the ability to do things fast & accurately.
Keep interacting with people who are preparing. Since the competition is
on National level it is important to compare your preparation with other
students preparing across the country.
Improve your Speed
Memorizing land mark problems (remembering standard formulae, concepts so
that you can apply them directly) Being strong in mental calculations
(never use the calculator during your entire preparation, try to do first
and second level of calculations mentally, remember as vocalization
reduces reading speed, similarly doing calculation on paper reduces the
speed. Working with choices (see all the options and do not go for last
digit accuracy unless required by the problem) when you are doing subject
wise exercises you can also calculate speed subject wise.
Here we would like to highlight one more point that just good speed is not
enough because of negative marks, so a high speed with less accuracy may
be harmful.
