Test Taking Strategies

The following may be of help on the day of the test :

  • The first section in your sequence of attempt should be either a section which you are strong at, or a section which requires relatively less concentration as compared to other sections. Starting with a section you are competent in, gives you a positive flavour of the test and the much required momentum to help you graduate to subsequent challenges in the test. Similarly, starting with a section/ area which requires lesser concentration levels helps you to manage the challenges during the initial teething phase of the test.
  • As time progresses, your concentration levels tend to peak and then start diluting towards the fag end of the exam. Thus, it is recommended to place the less engaging sections/ areas (with respect to concentration challenges) on the extremes and the more demanding ones at the centre of the time-concentration curve.
    In this exam, you need to attempt 120 questions in 120 minutes, there is no negative marking and there are sectional time limits. Therefore, you should first attempt the questions you know and for the other questions try to make an educated guess and mark the answer.
  • The number of questions you need to attempt cannot be previously determined; as this is a function of the level of difficulty. However, you are advised to keep a fine balance between effectiveness (accuracy) and efficiency (speed).
    Do not get emotionally attached to questions and don’t let the questions prick your ego. Devoting too much time to any one question can disturb the overall equilibrium and time management.
  • You must review the answers of each section within the allotted time, as once sectional time limit is over, all answers are automatically submitted. Use the review screen smartly to identify the questions that you have left unattempted or flagged for review, while attempting the test.
  • In case you complete the section before the allotted time, any balance of time will not be added to the next section(s). Hence, it is suggested that you utilize the sectional time limit to your utmost advantage.
