Get Ready For The Exam

During the last days, you shouldn't encourage exam stress over basics things such as exam pattern and type of questions. We suggest aspirants work on the previous years' question papers, which will help in getting familiar with the exam pattern besides weightage of the topics. 

Time Management

Aspirants need to solve 100 questions in 180 minutes, which means less than two minutes for each question. One should take advantage in the general awareness section (25 questions), which can be attempted in less than 10 minutes. The most important point aspirants have to remember is that CMAT is a test of skill and analysing. Hence, one can devote at least two minutes on each question. 

Revise Effectively 

Candidates might have covered the entire CMAT syllabus for the examination. Without an effective revision during the last days of CMAT preparation, one can't score well.

It is suggested to recall all the strategies and revise the entire syllabus before the exam. 

Keep Weakness At Bay 

In order to score well in any examination, one should equally focus on their weaknesses as well. Identify the tough topics and try to devote more time to the revision. 

Attempt Mock Test 

Try to take at least one mock test daily during the last week. Taking mock tests will not only help in preparation but also boost your confidence.
