How to Prepare For CMAT in 1 Month?

Can we crack CMAT in 1 month? Yes, you can! Now that you have reached the last stage of preparation for the upcoming CMAT exam, it is very common for candidates to start feeling anxious or nervous. However, you must not lose confidence or divert yourself. Here are some steps that you must take that will help you ace this management exam.   

1. Revision is the key

With the exam date coming near, you must give yourself one month to revise and go through all the important topics one by one. Doing so will help you remember all the facts and figures, methodologies etc. Not only this, but revision also helps you curb last-minute exam stress. 

2. Master your time

Another important point, with only little time left, you must not waste time by worrying. Instead, develop a sense of awareness and manage your time effectively. This can be done by creating a timetable and planning out your day. This will not only help you avoid unnecessary disturbances but make you more focused on your goals. 

3. Work on your basics

After going through the CMAT syllabus, you must have noticed that only basic-level questions are asked in the CMAT exam. So, it is crucial for you to have a strong hold on your basics as they will help you solve the questions with utmost accuracy. Apart from this, you should also be aware of all the tricks and shortcuts for solving the questions much more accurately and faster. 

4. Attempt Previous Year’s Question Paper

Once you have strengthened your basics, opt for the previous year’s question paper or sample papers for CMAT. This practice should be followed more before the final exam. By doing so, you will become more familiar with the CMAT exam pattern, and know which questions are important and require more focus. Not only this, you will also master time management skills during the process of attempting multiple papers. 

5. Remain Calm

Having anxiety to a certain level is okay as long as it doesn’t hamper your self-confidence or take over you completely, making you lose your focus. This can have a negative effect on you leading to an overall bad exam experience. So, to divert yourself from it, you can go out get some sunlight or spend some time listening to music, doing yoga or other hobbies. 

We hope by following the above-mentioned steps in the last month, you will ace your CMAT exam.
