CTET EXAM: TIPS & TRICKS
1. Focus on your weak areas - With the help of CTET mock tests, you can find your weak areas. Once you are aware of your weak areas, start working on them to convert the same into your strengths. Some candidates make a mistake of skipping the difficult topics or the areas they are weak at all together, which is definitely not a good choice
2. Make notes and revise them regularly - Develop a habit of making short notes when going through the syllabus. These notes help in regular revision of the syllabus. Moreover, these save your time during revision as you just need to go through the important topics instead of the complete chapter again. Regular revision from notes also helps you in remembering the concepts, formulas and important theories.
3. Detailed Knowledge About the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) - The principles of the CTET exam are activity-based teaching, child-centered learning, teacher’s appreciation for the children etc which is where NCF is important which points out the best educational practices in India and the methods of teaching each subject. The CTET exam will consist of several questions based on application-based-classroom-teaching which is where an in-depth knowledge of the NCF will come to the candidates’ rescue.
4. Be Confident - Confidence is a must as it can boost your exam preparation. However, aspirants should know the difference between confidence and overconfidence. Maintaining a gap between the two is crucial.
5. Time Management - Time managed is half the job done. Students' success in the exam is directly attached to how well they manage their time. Aspirants should solve the exam paper before time and stay one step ahead. If the candidate finds any question difficult then leave that question or mark that question, and move on to other questions.
6. No Negative Marking - Candidates should note that there is no negative marking in CTET , so they should not leave any questions while attempting the paper. First attempt the question in which you feel confident and then attempt the rest of the questions.
