Last minute preparation tips
Proper understanding of an exam pattern and syllabus is essential to crack any exam, including the RPSC Assistant Professor recruitment test. Here are some effective last-minute preparation tips to ace it.
Prioritise key topics for revision: Identify and revise the topics that carry the most weightage in the exam during the last leg of preparation. Quickly go through important formulas, definitions, and concepts.
Use summary notes: If you have prepared short notes or flashcards, now is the ideal time to use them. They are excellent for quick revisions.
Refer to previous years’ question papers: Glance through the last 3 years’ question papers to get a better idea of what you can expect in the exam hall. Make mental notes of important topics to make the last stage of revision more effective.
Focus on your strengths: Reinforce your strong areas to ensure you can confidently answer every question in the exam. Do not try to learn anything from scratch at the last moment.
Pay attention to time management: This is a crucial skill that you need to apply in every exam. While revising before the exam, allocate specific time slots for different subjects or sections based on their weightage and your proficiency.
Make your revision stress-free: Take short breaks, do some deep breathing or light exercise to reduce stress and stay focussed.
