Make a list of subjects in decreasing order of their weightage. Prepare high weightage subjects first to revise them more times than low weightage subjects. High weightage Subjects have in-depth concepts so they require more revisions.

3 Genuine Study Material

Select Right Study Material for your preparation, guided by past year Toppers or selected candidates. Best Books Recommended by Toppers have useful content. Prefer your own handwritten note over others' handwritten notes. Read Reference Books for those topics or concepts that you are unable to understand from the teacher.

Use some Free Offline Apps from Play Store that helps you during the preparation time. Some give you Free Question Bank to practice and some give you Free Books Pdf to learn concepts. You can also use paid apps which have more advantages than free apps.

4 Convenient Strategy

Make Strategy as per the available time (Total Time) which suits you. Learn How to Make a Strategy that works for you by understanding Topper’s Strategy. Follow the advice given by an expert candidate, Topper, or Teacher. Don’t Copy & Paste other's strategies in your life.

5 Conceptual Practice

After you learn the concepts than the main game began. Practicing lots of questions from PYQ than Practice Set of any reputed coaching Institute than Test Series questions. Initially, you won’t be able to solve all problems in the question bank but after 2-3 revisions your concepts become strong and your Numerical solving skill will improve.

Right Way to Solve Numerical Questions

While practicing questions try to manage time. In the beginning, you will face problems in solving questions within 1-2 minutes after a few revisions you will learn the art of solving problems quickly. Although some questions have lengthy calculations (Not all questions can be solved in 1-2 min).

6 ESE (Mains) Conventional Questions

When we study any subject we always get stuck in some topics to understand the concepts deeply. Whenever we face a new type of question we won’t be able to solve it. In this situation, ESE (Mains) Conventional PYQ will help you very much.

One Conventional question has multiple concepts interconnected. If you can solve them then your concepts will improve exponentially. Solve easy questions first to gain confidence then move to hard problems. Solve Conventional PYQ 2-3 times only.

7 Timely Revision

Hermann Ebbinghaus (German Psychologist) is best known for his discovery of the Forgetting Curve. When you learn anything at that instant you remember 100% information. After 1 day only 33% of data is stored in your brain like that as time passes you start forgetting the concepts. But you always feel that you remember everything that you have learned.

Scientific Way to Revise Subjects for GATE & ESE

Once you finish a subject, the first revision has to be done on the next day only. Then second revision after 7-8 days later. After 3-4 proper revisions you can now revise each subject once in every 10-15 days. Revision of all subjects from time to time is very important. Those first 4 proper revisions should be done from Full-Notes only.

One Revision include Theory & Questions

8 Test Series & Order of Test

When you learn concepts clearly and Practice enough questions now time to give a test to see how you will perform in an exam when time is ticking over the head. Most aspirants can solve questions during preparation time when they don’t have time pressure. But in the final exam, time is very important, you have to solve all questions within the given time.

Buy 1 or 2 Good Quality Test Series. And give test after 2-3 revisions of subjects. The order of Tests should be like, Subjects wise than Mixed Type than Full-Length Test. Test Series really helps you to evaluate your performance in final exams.

9 Common Mistakes

During the Test or Practice time, every aspirant do some silly mistakes. If you remove or eliminate all those common mistakes then you will improve your performance in the final exam. You should not ignore any single mistake that you do. Make a note of the mistakes that you do in the test series.

Revise the mistakes you have done during the test, before giving a new test. If you know what type of mistakes you can do then your chances are less to repeat them.

10 Completion of Syllabus

If you start your preparation easier then you can finish the complete syllabus on time. Try to cover 100 % syllabus, 2 months (or 45 days), before the final exam. As you finish soon then you can revise more times and work on improving the rank by practicing new types of questions from different sources.

Right Time to Start GATE Preparation

If you start late and can’t cover 100 % before an exam. Try to cover important topics that have more weightage than others. And don’t learn anything new in 10-15 days before the final exam. Dedicate those 10-15 days to pure Revision, Practice, and Full-Length Test.
