Being a member of the National Defence Academy (NDA) is an honour as well as a source of prestige. It heralds a completely new universe and destiny. Preparing for an exam and taking it require a lot of dedication, hard work, and information about your country.
As we are left with almost 15 days in hand for the upcoming NDA Examination (which is to be held on 10th April 2022), you might have completed your preparation by then for the big day.
Let me share some tips here with you to keep you in pace before going for the examination.
Revision
You must review what you have learnt so far in the days leading up to the exam. Make a list of all the important formulas for each topic in Maths, Physics, and Chemistry and go over them in your spare time. Formulae serve as the foundation for calculations and make it easier to solve problems quickly which saves your time. Forget about your doubts; there isn't any more room for them at this point. You must focus on what you know and have learnt up to this point in order to ace these topics.
Manage Time
The most important aspect of the exam is time management. It is worth noting that there will be 120 questions in Mathematics and 150 questions in GAT. When you practise NDA Online Mock Tests, it becomes easier to manage time during the exam. I suggest visiting Testwale.com to practise Free NDA Test Series. To be able to manage your time effectively, complete as many full-length mock tests, sectional tests, topic tests and daily short quizzes as possible.
Plan for the exam day
You should plan ahead of time what you will do at the NDA exam centre. Make a plan for the exam day strategy and practise it from now on. On exam day, screen the paper for the Mathematics section as soon as you receive the NDA question paper and decide which questions to attempt first.
Analyse the trend
Analyse previous years' question papers to determine the chapters/topics from which the majority of questions are asked. Take note of the chapters that are of the utmost importance and concentrate on them.
Important topics to focus on for Maths
In this subject, you should focus on Binary Systems of Numbers, Quadratic Equations, Logarithms, Inequalities, Set Theory, Complex Numbers, Sequence and Series, Permutation and Combination, Probability, Binomial theorem, and Matrices.
Important topics to focus on for GAT
In GAT, you should practice Physics, Chemistry, General Science, History, Geography, Current Affairs, etc.
The five effective ways to crack the NDA exam in the first attempt are given below:
You should make a note of your daily progress.
Give more time to self-study during your preparation.
Improve speed and accuracy of solving questions, for this, you can practise NDA Online Mock Tests from our website.
Go through the current affair during your free time.
Take short breaks during your studies.
Below are some general tips to be kept in mind while preparing for the examination —
Every day 5 to 6 hours of study is necessary on a regular basis.
Time management is key to attempt the maximum number of questions in the actual exam. See how many questions you are able to answer in a minimum span of time.
When practising previous papers, think once before guessing on an option, since negative marking is implied here. So every wrong answer will cost you some marks to be deducted from your correct score.
Learn shortcuts, avoid lengthy calculations on paper, do it in your mind.
Spend some time on reading by giving some of your time to newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.
Studying/revising in a group will help you in sharing ideas and grasping the concepts quickly.
Good Luck!
