HOW TO PREPARE FOR NET EXAM

For first Paper:

1. You should have your own book for reading (either you can purchase or you can borrow) but you should have the book all time.

2. You should have an intense desire in your mind to clear NET exam (Don't think that I can clear by luck) and you should commit yourself to reading.

3. Make a time schedule for reading. For example, I made a time schedule for 20 days. (This time schedule depends on an individual based on your basic knowledge of all subjects you have.)If you have sufficient knowledge about the subject then 20 days enough otherwise take 30 days.

4. You can read this paper afternoon or night because of this paper easy and interesting.

5. For data interpretation, you have to learn through by practicing in the worksheet. This needs speed calculation method.

6. For reasoning question also you have to practice more.

7. In exam first, attend those questions in which you are good thereby you can spend more time on rest of the questions.

For Second Paper

1. Again you should have your own book.

2. Read interesting subject or practical subject in the afternoon.

3. Make a timetable for reading each subject.

4. First, read the description of concept then read the objective type of question and then solve previous years’ question paper.

These are the few useful Tips for exam preparation. The most important thing is students have to understand concept of subject rather than mugging up the subject.
