Now, let us find out the best tips for GATE exam success in the final week that will help you take the result-oriented measures.
- Set a revision timetable: Revision plays a critical role for GATE exam aspirants, especially if you are preparing hard to crack the exam and secure a top rank in the GATE exam. Most students lack the urge to revise from time to time. Therefore, it becomes important to create a revision timetable that caters to the needs of the GATE exam preparation for the respective aspirants. It will help you in successful goal achievement. If you are planning to give another attempt, you must prioritize addressing the loopholes in your study plan for the next exam session. Every GATE aspirant must focus on wholesome revision for the upcoming GATE exam session in the available days.
- Avoid learning new topics: As a GATE exam aspirant, especially, if you are attempting it for the very first time, you need to understand that you will come across different types of topics and questions present in the syllabus. During this period, you need to choose the notes wisely for speedy revision in the last few days before the GATE exam success. GATE aspirants must avoid reading or learning new topics to avoid confusion and retain the well-prepared syllabus-related concepts and formulae until the exam (if possible till the interview round for higher studies admission and PSUs recruitment). Apart from this, you need to ensure that you do not indulge in last hour/minutes learning, which might influence your GATE exam success.
- Manage your time well: You need to understand that time management is a critical skill for all exam aspirants preparing for different exams. Manage your time well, especially during the last 5-7 days. It will help you stay calm, revise properly, and put yourself in the habit to deal with the challenges with the maturity that you need to face during the exam. You must make it a point to treat your time similarly to the way you treat your currency until the last day of your GATE exam preparation.
- Refer to your notes: Gone are the days when you need to check all your study material to revise important information. You can implement the basics of time management with the help of your short notes. GATE aspirants can refer to the physical and digital notes based on their comfort and study schedule. Prioritize reading your notes once and again until you feel satisfied with your revision sessions. In this way, you can ensure that you do not leave any stone unturned to secure ‘that’ rank in the upcoming GATE exam.
- Learn the art of stress management: Karim Seddiki has rightly said that ‘It’s not the stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it.’ Most students might find it as a quote. However, you need to understand that stress reaching your boundaries is quite common, but you need to ensure that you say goodbye to stress from there. Practice meditation, breathing exercises, and stretches to manage stress properly and avoid letting it influence your mental and physical well-being. Each of these productive activities will help you implement your skills associated with stress management. Focus on the activities that you can perform (ones in your control) and stay relaxed in the case of others. You must stay on top of your exam preparation game to stay stress-free.
- Opt for mock tests with guidance: Mock tests prove to be beneficial for the GATE aspirants as these tests offer a simulating environment with a similar experience (often a difficult one). Most experts and toppers agree to the point that students must continue taking mock tests even during the last week. You can pause attempting mock tests 2-3 days before the first exam. Remember, if you want to see the real impact of your GATE exam result, you must ensure that you do not skip attempting mock tests.
- Keep all exam-related information handy: Yes, you heard that right! Although students feel that this segment is less important, GATE exam aspirants must keep certain important information handy. It includes the GATE exam centre, location, rules and regulations at the centre on the exam day, distance from your current residential place to the exam centre. You can even go and visit your exam centre a few days before the exam (in the last week before the exam). The most important tip is that you need to read the details specified in the GATE exam admit card.
