Strategies to Cover CAET Syllabus 2025
Here are the key preparation strategies candidates must follow to strengthen their exam preparation and excel with commendable scores:
-
Break down the syllabus into weekly study targets and pay attention to achieving these goals. Candidates can also consider setting daily targets to boost their confidence and gradually enhance their preparation.
-
Solve CAET past year papers to identify question patterns. This approach also helps in improving time management.
-
Use study resources like video lectures and charts to visualise complex physics and chemistry concepts. Focus on understanding the key principles before attempting to memorise the formulas.
-
Solve questions from sample papers to improve problem-solving skills. Additionally, take full-length mock tests once a week to track progress. After completing every mock test, candidates must analyse their mistakes to focus on weaker sections.
-
Allocate specific time slots for revision, problem-solving, and revising theory sections.
