Tips to Prepare for BITSAT 2024

  • The candidates have to be very serious about the exam and must complete the syllabus as soon as it is possible for them. The sooner they complete the syllabus; it will be easier for them to start with the revision part.
  • The candidates must make it a point that they take as many mock tests as possible. The mock tests will help them to get an idea of how much time they will have to spare for each section and in how many minutes the entire paper can be completed. This will also give them the window period to analyse if they have answered every question correctly or not.
  • They must make it a point to solve sample papers and question papers of previous years. They will feel relaxed to know that they may find many questions common if they solve the sample papers as well as questions papers of previous years.
  • The candidates are required to remain focused till the last moment of the examination and to do so they must keep on practising the sample papers and previous years’ question papers till the last day of preparation and one day before the exam.
  • The candidates are also required to make them as familiarize with the question pattern as possible. To do so, they have to go through as many question papers of last five years as possible. This will help them to avoid any kind of confusion when they actually take the test on the day of the exam.
