CDS Last Minute Preparation Tips 2022

Don’t Pick New Topics

As the exam is coming near you should avoid picking up new topics in any subject. The final phase of exam preparation should only include revision because it will help you recall and grasp the concept properly. This also avoids any last-minute panicking and confusion.

Prepare Section-Wise Strategies

Candidates must formulate strategies for all the sections so that they can attempt maximum questions and score well. In the Math section, candidates must try to remember all the formulas, tricks, and shortcuts which will help them save time. For English, brush up on your vocabulary and learn a good number of synonyms, antonyms, and idioms which come in almost every exam. Current Affairs can be a tricky section because of its broad scope. But that can be covered by reading the newspaper daily and revising the important events, dates, dance forms, books, awards, and recent activities.

Revision

As told a number of times, revise as much as you can because this will increase your recall power. Make notes of various chapters and incorporate flow diagrams to revisit the topics that you have covered. Glance through the notes to refresh the chapters in your mind.

Practice Previous Years’ Question Papers

Solving previous years’ CDS question papers is one of the best ways to know the level of questions asked and know your strengths. It will help you in time management and also improve your accuracy.

Sleep properly and Avoid Stress

Don’t spend sleepless nights preparing for the exam because this will only drop your energy levels. Sleep properly to energize yourself and to increase focus. Also, avoid taking any stress because that will do more harm than good. Many bright candidates fail to qualify the exam just because they couldn’t handle the pressure and commit mistakes.
