  • If you started preparing from Feb, in the first 2- 3 weeks of your preparation, Cover the basics of each topic. Once basics of all sections are covered, get hold of the topics specifically crucial for the MAH-CET exam. Focus more on the Logical Reasoning section as it has the maximum number of questions in the exam; and the Abstract Reasoning section. So, in the next 1-2 weeks, focus more on the Logical Reasoning section; and also practice the Abstract Reasoning questions.
  • Students must have a proper study plan in place and must stick to it to ace the exam. Try to dedicate one hour for each section every day. This timing may vary depending on whether a section is your strength or your weakness. Spend more time on improving your weak areas. Overall try to spend around 3 hours every day, can spend more time if you think you need more time to improve in your weak areas.
  • Especially if one targets top colleges like JBIMS, you have to focus your preparation equally on all the areas; you cannot ignore any section. Give importance to every section during your practice. A Major part of your preparation should be on speed building, and it comes from practising a variety of problems and being familiar with the concepts. Also, during practice, focus more on improving speed calculations and reading more, as they will help you save time during the exam.

The key is to keep building your speed during your preparation, but one cannot improve speed without having strong fundamentals in place. So be familiar with the concepts and focus on the practice and mock tests.

How to utilize mocks tests for MAH MBA CET:

Some important points about the mock tests:

  • Take more mock tests: CET is a speed-based exam, so the most important part of the preparation is giving more mocks and analysing them. Taking time-bound tests becomes very crucial. Once you have covered all the essential concepts, the central part of your preparation should be focused on giving more mock tests and trying to build your test-taking strategy. The primary focus should be on the mocks and Revising the essential topics in the last month.
  • Give 2- 3 mocks per week. Analyse thoroughly to assess your progress, see how many minutes you spent on each section, and practice those areas more where you need more improvement.
  • Pay more attention to your weak areas in mock analysis, and change your strategy accordingly.
  • Students must take the mock tests seriously. There’s no sectional time limit, so one must know how to manage time in each section. Having a strategy helps you identify which sections to attempt first.
  • The balance between accuracy and speed is essential, as there’s no point in solving with more speed but will less accuracy. Both are important to get high scores.
