Preparation Strategy for CSIR NET PART A, General Aptitude
Let's follow the below preparation strategy for Part-A to score well in the CSIR-NET exam
- Practice each topic of Part-A on a daily basis for a minimum of 30 mins routinely.
- Try to spend the first 15 minutes understanding the formulas, and the next 15 minutes can be used for solving questions on that topic; at least 10 questions should be solved.
- PYQ's analysis is important to understand what questions are repeated throughout the years and emphasise solving those questions.
- If you find some topics difficult to understand, like trigonometry, quadratic equation, etc., we recommend you to take extra time and divide that topic in 2-3 days. Skipping any topic will not be feasible.
- Master easy topics first and solve them in less time by applying simple formulas.
- Solving PART A from PYQs will give you ample experience to attempt a good number of repeated questions in the upcoming CSIR NET 2022 exam.
- The CSIR NET PART A formula sheets with all important formulas in PDF form will be very useful for quick revision – Download them below.
- Attempting Mock Tests for PART A is a must.
