Preparing for IOE entrance is a wonderful as well as nightmare experience that varies from student to student. It’s Upon you whether to make it wonderful or a nightmare. Today, in this article I am going to debunk some of the points that a topper makes to crack the IOE entrance exam in a shorter, effective way.

BEFORE EXAMINATION

Make a Proper Time-Table

The first and foremost is that you make a time table and stick to it. This way you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it. It is best to cover this time with a regular amount of breaks and never study at a stretch. Most experts will advise you to study for an hour followed by a 10–15 minute break. Not only breaks save you from boredom and monotony but also let you retain things you’ve learned.

Focus on Concept Clarity Rather Than Rote Learning

When it comes to engineering entrance exams, more than anything it is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basics and concepts before moving on.

Prepare Short Notes

It is very important that with each covered topic and chapter you make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas that will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.

Practice Sample Papers and Past Questions

Although you cannot predict the questions it is important that you practice on the sample and previous years’ question papers available for the IoE entrance exam.

DURING EXAMINATION

Prioritize Physics and Mathematics

Physics and Mathematics carry maximum marks in the entrance exams. So, if you are good with Physics and Maths, you will have a higher chance to pass. Practice and learn these subjects as well as possible, and during the examination go for these subjects with the highest confidence.

Be Careful With English

English is tricky and may lead you to trap. So, be careful while attempting the English questions. They do not only seek high attentiveness but also teases your brain. English is something that is not much difficult, yet most of the students fail to score more than 60% in it. This is because most of them do not give English much importance and thus fall into its prey. Practicing old questions and being cautious during the exams are the key to get through English questions.

Time Management is Key

The most important of all is time management and it is important that all students preparing for the exam try to learn. Time management can only be learned through thorough practice and regular mock/practice test-taking. The paper pattern, duration of the paper and the number of questions to be attempted in the given amount of time is not something you will be able to pick up on the day of the examination. So it is important that you practice it and practice it well. During the examination, take care of your time and make sure you do not spend more time on any subject.

Stay Positive

Staying positive will not answer your questions but it will steer you clear of unnecessary confusion and panic. Being confident and optimistic can create miracles and keep negative thoughts away. This way you can give the best shot at the examination. When you enter the examination, believe that you will do great.

Conclusion:

Do whatever yu=ou feel is best for you but remember working smart is always the best way than working with no-smart-hard-work.

Best wishes for the future. We shall meet soon.
