NTSE Kerala 2024 Preparation
NTSE Kerala is one of the toughest papers to crack. To perform well, students must devise a clear-cut plan.
Following are a few tips to ensure securing a good score in the exam and outperforming peers of your age.
- Go Through Syllabus
Students should understand the entire syllabus before starting their preparation, and getting an insight would help them mark important topics that need to be covered first. NTSE covers topics mostly from Mathematics, Science, Social Science, English, General Knowledge, and Mental Ability syllabus.
- Make a Time Table
To secure good marks in any examination, there should be a set routine. Scheduling a timetable provides a direction to achieve your syllabus target on time. The student should chart out the units and topics that need to be covered at a specific time.
- Practice Previous Year Question Paper and Sample Papers
No amount of preparation is complete without solving the previous year's question papers and sample papers. Practising these will help the student chart out a better plan based on its strengths and weaknesses.
- Refer NTSE Books
The questions in NTSE are built upon basic concepts of class IX & X. Students should first go through the NCERT books provided and then later refer to guides for an in-depth understanding of the subjects and topics.
- Revise and Repeat
For competitive exams like NTSE, the syllabus is wide, and it is impossible to retain everything by reading it once. Students are suggested to revise every 3-4 days as per their study schedule, and it will help them learn new topics without forgetting the old ones.
- Time Management
Many students find it difficult to complete the entire paper on time, mainly due to a lack of practice. One suitable method to keep up with time is practicing previous year's question papers by setting a timer. These will help the student understand the areas where more time is taken and work on it accordingly.
