The BITSAT (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test) is a competitive engineering entrance exam. To prepare effectively in a limited timeframe, follow these key strategies:
1. Thoroughly review the entire BITSAT syllabus and exam pattern. Identify your weaker areas to focus more attention there.
2. Solve previous years' question papers to become familiar with the exam format, question types and difficulty level. Analyze them to identify recurring concepts and frequently asked topics.
3. Study NCERT books thoroughly, especially for Physics, Chemistry and Biology as BITSAT is focused on NCERT curriculum. Make clear and concise revision notes.
4. For Maths, practice solving questions on trigonometry, matrices, complex numbers, probability etc. Extensive practice is essential.
5. Take mock tests every week under exam conditions. They will help assess your progress and prepare both technically and psychologically for the real test. Review them to improve.
6. Avoid starting any new topics near the exam. Utilize the last month just revising thoroughly using revision notes, taking section-wise and full mock tests. Stay motivated. Eat and sleep well before exam day.
