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.
5. Study at home: You can’t afford to waste time on the daily commute now that the NTSE exam is only a few days away. This is the time to look into self-study or online test preparation options. Practice tests assist you in preparing for the exam quickly and effectively.
6. Take practice tests: Taking as many mock tests, practise tests, and previous year papers as possible is one of the best ways to check your progress and your level in comparison to other students.

7. Regularly revise: The key to success is revision. You should revise your syllabus regularly and solve sample papers to determine how much you know.
8. Get answers to your questions: Entering the exam room with doubts in your mind will only harm your performance. So, whether you are taking NTSE coaching or not, make sure you clear any doubts. If you have chosen self-study, you can ask questions by downloading a mobile app.

9. Work on previous year’s papers: This will assist you in comprehending the exam pattern and the 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.
10. 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.
