2.Device a Study Plan: Based on the exam pattern and syllabus, create a study plan that covers all the topics and gives you enough time to prepare for the exam. Make sure you allocate sufficient time to each topic and revise regularly. Aspirants spend most of their time on preparing Quantitative Aptitude as it has formula to memorize and shortcuts to learn. If you are short on time, Key thing to do is to identify the topics that you are comfortable with and master them. Read newspaper, magazine or books regularly. When you read, think what kind of questions can be asked from it, this helps you with Reading Comprehension.
3.Sample Tests: Take as many mock/sample tests as possible and analyse your performance after every test. Identify your strengths, weakness and areas of improvement. Sample tests are quite useful especially for sections such as reading comprehension and data sufficiency.
4.Time Management: Time management is critical during the exam. TANCET has 5 sections with 20 questions each and duration is 2 hours. Approximately candidate can spend 20-25 minutes on each section. During Mock/Sample test allocate 20-25 minutes for each section to get familiarized. Practice time-bound mock tests. Alternatively, you can try to finish the section that you are strong quickly and allocate more time for your weaker section. But wise thing is to distribute the time equally among the 5 sections.
5.Accuracy Matters: Don't try to attempt all the questions. Since there is 0.33 negative marks for every wrong answer, you will be better off, if you attend only the questions you are sure. If you are not sure of an answer, eliminating incorrect options can help to narrow down the options for few questions and this strategy will not be helpful for all questions.
