BITSAT 2023 Preparation Tips

A candidate taking the exam must answer a question in about 72 seconds. Even the needed cutoff marks for admission are pretty high. As a result, it is advised that applicants attempt as many questions as possible and follow the guidelines listed below. BITSAT 2023 Exam Preparation Tips to Achieve High Scores

• Take a few quick notes: Short notes covering all of the main concepts and points should be taken. You can keep track of short formulae, reactions, and derivations for each topic in one place.
• Examine BITSAT sample papers and previous year’s papers.: Solving previous year’s papers and sample papers can assist students in determining whether areas or topics require additional attention. Students will also be able to learn about the most commonly asked questions in the paper.
• BITSAT Mock Test Practice: Close to the exam date, the mock test series is made available online. Students can take BITSAT practice examinations to gain a feel for the paper layout, types of questions offered, and so on. The student will be able to determine which areas he or she did well in and which areas require further preparation based on the results.
• Organizing your time: Prepare a timetable and divide the subjects into groups based on the number of topics to be covered. A timetable will assist students in planning and completing their preparation on time, allowing them to devote time to answer the previous year’s papers.
