Students from the general category must score 40% of the available marks to pass the exam, while students from the reserved categories must receive only 32% of the available marks.

4. Recognise your Strengths and Weaknesses: Knowing your strengths and weaknesses allows you to concentrate on the things that matter. If you are aware of your flaws, you can seek solutions. For example, if you don’t understand a topic from books, you can supplement your preparation by watching videos.

8. Work on NTSE Previous Year’s Papers: This will assist you in comprehending the exam pattern and types of questions asked. Based on this, you can devise techniques and strategies to attempt as many questions as possible in the time allotted to complete the test.

9. Look After your Health: Having less time for NTSE 2022 preparation does not imply that you will neglect your health. Even if you have to study for a few extra hours, you must eat healthy foods and get enough sleep. What you eat and how much sleep you get directly impact how well you perform on the final exam. As a result, when preparing for the NTSE, pay equal attention to your health.

Detailed Study plan

Every exam necessitates a certain strategy and commitment throughout the preparation process. In order to ace a test, candidates must develop a proper and well-structured preparation approach that includes proper analytical, time management, and exam-taking abilities. The following are some key ideas and suggestions for preparing for the NTSE exam.

• Before you start studying, make sure you have all of the necessary information on the scholarship test’s NTSE syllabus. Before commencing the preparation process, students must thoroughly review the NTSE syllabus.

Candidates should keep a copy of the syllabus with them during their preparation to ensure that nothing is forgotten, that no topic is left unprepared, and that they do not miss any important topics before the exam.
• To understand the types of problems asked in the NTSE scholarship test, students should download and solve past years’ question papers. Solving previous year’s papers will also assist pupils in determining the paper’s difficulty level. Solving previous year’s papers will also put a student in a better position to take the NTSE exam. Candidates are encouraged to take the previous year’s exams as a practise test to get a better sense of what to expect on exam day. They must use the answer keys to evaluate their responses.

Solving mock tests allows students to get a realistic picture of their NTSE preparation and to see where they are. Candidates must make it a habit to take at least one practise test on a regular basis. These practise examinations are meant to be a little tougher than the real thing. Apart from that, it assists applicants in estimating the level of difficulty and time management of the paper.
• Creating a strategy and a routine, and sticking to it, can help you pass the exam quickly and effortlessly. Students must practise issues on a regular and rigorous basis in order to excel on the exam. Candidates are urged to develop an appropriate strategy and preparation plan based on the paper’s themes and mark distribution.
