We spoke to a few students who are preparing for the competitive exams to share their strategies and plan that will help them crack the exam and this what they had to say!
“One needs to study for at least 16 hours a day, but frankly speaking I can never achieve that target and that’s why I feel it is really very tough to clear the SSC exam in one go.” Nishant, (currently preparing for SSC exam)
“The competition is too high and I think no matter how much one prepares for it the chances to clear the exam are really bleak. I am not a topper, so it is even harder for me.” Arushi, (aspiring to become an IAS officer)
“I continuously watch videos for tricks and tips,I read a lot about how to crack the MCA entrance exam. I work on my strong areas and do not waste my team on difficult topics.” Neeraj (preparing for MCA exam)
“ Coaching institutes are way too expensive and they make fake promises , my strategy is to devote the last three months before the exam completely for preparation. I have heard that 3 months of preparation is more beneficial than years of training.” Sudhir (preparing for NEET exam)
MYTH Studying endlessly without directions and proper guidance
We all have our own set of strengths and weaknesses, what works for one student may not work for another. A research showed that students who scored average marks in high school and college were more successful in cracking the competitive exams. When you consult an expert you get to know the stuff that you weren’t fully aware of earlier. Good guidance can prove to be a game changer. Hence, the preparatory plan varies from one student to another and only an expert counselor or educationist can help you understand your true potential. Creating your own unique study plan is important.
MYTH Short-cuts, tips, tricks and luck is the Key
“If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I would spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.” – Abraham Lincoln
If you are dependent on short-cuts, luck and tips you are definitely wasting your time and are going in the wrong direction. Your main focus must be on the basics then gradually try to go to the advance level. One cannot achieve success in anything without knowing the fundamentals of that particular subject or field. Mugging up, only memorizing the facts, not paying attention to detail can result in utter failure. Doing hardwork at last minute and trying to study too much only fed months or weeks before the exam will not help in any way.
MYTH Coaching institutes are hyped and not needed.
Most of the students complain that they are unable to focus and study at home due to one or the other reason. Therefore, coaching institutes are a great option for them. Coaching classes get updates and current information, which might not be possible with self study. This might keep you lagging behind the rest of the aspirants. You are kept in the know of things with coaching classes. You get all important details and crucial information about jobs, colleges or universities which are otherwise not easily available or found.
