Hi,

Here are a few tips to preparation for NTSE 2019.

Plan you preparation in sync with NTSE Syllabus

Before beginning, you must have clarity about the NTSE syllabus and you should sync it with your 10th standard studies too. This exercise ensures that your NTSE preparation moves according to what the exam demands and you do not have to put extra effort for NTSE preparation.

Evaluate your Strengths and Weaknesses

Solve and analyse last years question papers to check your existing level of preparedness for the NTSE exam. This will help you decide how much weightage you need to give to various sections under the limited timeframe.Also, develop a strategy to improve your weaknesses during the NTSE preparation.

Refer to NCERT text books

To develop clear concepts, nothing is better than studying NCERT study material. So, read the NCERT textbooks thoroughly to give your best performance.

Go for group exercise

Group exercises are always good when you plan to appear for an exam like NTSE. All you have to do is to coordinate with a group of 5-10 friends towards regular studies and practice. When each of your group members comes with 10-20 questions a day, you will be able to learn at least 50-100 questions every day. This promises to be a very fruitful practice.

However, here you have to be cautious that you do not get distracted during your group exercise. Your group is not made for enjoyment but for a common goal i.e. NTSE preparation.

Regular practice and revision

It is important that you do regular practice and revision of exercises that you have already learnt. Make it a habit and revise all topics time and again. This ensures you do not forget what you have already learnt. Also, if you are regular at revising and practicing your chapters, you get desirable command on your speed and accuracy during solving NTSE questions. With clear concepts and time management, you ensure a significant rank on NTSE merit list.

Make question bank of difficult questions

Make a question bank of difficult questions to practice them time and again. With this, you will be able to know most of your common mistakes and will not repeat them in NTSE exam hall.

Previous year question papers/ Sample papers

To evaluate the level of your preparation, it is important to solve more and more previous year NTSE test papers or sample papers. This will also make you familiar with the NTSE exam pattern and marking scheme. Also, while solving a set of old test papers, you get accustomed of the type of questions asked in NTSE. If you had been solving NTSE papers, you need not worry about any kind of surprise element during the exam.

Take good sleep prior to NTSE exam day

It is important to have a seven-to-eight-hour sleep a night before the exam. This will relax your mind and body, and you will enter the exam hall with full of energy.

Hello dear

My first advice will be to join a coaching institute which can prepare you for NTSE. If you get a decent institute than fine else you should purchase a book for NTSE. Previous year question book is aa good source for practice. But for theory you need to buy either a complete book or buy a package for NTSE from an established coaching institute like Resonance, Vibrant, FIITJEE etc.

Fir JEE Advance you will need work on its concept from the start of class 11. I think you are in class 10 so donot have much time left for class 11 to commence but if you cab spare some time start one subject of JEE but again it is very difficult you have your boards too this which indeed are too important. In that case you should only focus 10 th level conpetitions like NTSE, IMO, NSO,  FTRE and other coaching entrance test to uplift your mind level.

With love
