Importance of Revision for CDS 1 2022 Exam

The most important phase of preparation is Revision. If the topics that you studied earlier are not properly revised, it is as good as not studied. The revision will help you memorize everything that you studied months back.

According to Science, if you will not revise whatever you have studied, you will forget 70 per cent of the data. Make a list of all the important topics & revise them. This will refresh your knowledge and you will feel confident to appear in the exam. Now here the question arises, How to revise?

We will not advise the oral revision method until and unless it is General Knowledge. Also, for efficient revision, we advise you to make GK sticky notes and paste them on your study table or board or anywhere in your room. Placing these Notes, formulas in front of your eyes all the time will help you learn the GK more easily than trying to mug them.

At the end of the day, revise all that you learned. For other subjects like Maths & English always revise intermittently. Eg. Start with Speed, Time & Distance topics of math & then go to error spotting and reading comprehension this way you will not feel overburdened.

Make a habit of attempting at least one mock test every day. Your task doesn't end here. After attempting mock tests, go through the detailed solution of the questions you solved wrong. Try to find if the question can be solved by any shortcut method or not. If you are continuously finding problems in solving a particular topic, give that topic some time and reattempt those questions. By attempting mock tests daily before the actual CDS 1 2022 Exam, students would cut down on the petty mistakes they may commit in the real exam.
