Preparation TIPS for NMAT 2017:
Time Management– It is imperative for candidates to properly manage time while taking mock tests. Analyze each mock test attempted. Attempt the paper in such a way that enough time is left in the end to make sure that all the questions attempted are selected and saved. It is a cumbersome task to attempt 120 questions in 120 minutes. Time management is what will set you apart.
Question Selection- Know your strengths and weaknesses. Attempt the section you are confident about first. A perfect combination of speed and accuracy is needed for success.
Avoid Test day confusion- Make sure you are acquainted with the format of the exam, comfortable with the interface, know the exact location of the test centre and carry all the necessary documents to avoid any last minute tension.
