Important instructions during preparation contd . .

Prepare the Tough topics First


Once you have indentified certain topics as difficult on terms of preparation and you are sure that same are going to take time to prepare, start with those topics. Completion of these topics will give you ample confidence and will relieve you of lots of pressure. Also as you will know the time you take for preparation of these topics you will be able to gauge the time you will require to prepare for the other easier topics. If you start with easier topics and take enough slack for preparing them then you have invariably wasted time on the topics that you should not have wasted and you would be left with less time to prepare for other topics. So as per me the best option would be start with tough topics and move towards the easier topics.

Keep in touch with other people who are preparing.


This is one of the most important things. Always keep in touch with other people who are preparing for the same subject. If possible I will advise to form a small group of people who are going to appear for GATE in your own college or you own locality. This will give you different perspective on what should be prepared and how should you go around dealing with different subjects. Also, this will be an additional support system and will help you to keep yourself charged up for preparing for the GATE. This in our case was very important, all three of us have known each other from our college days and we have been encouraging each other to do better and this has helped us lot in preparing properly for GATE. Ashutosh had already passed last year and he was a very helpful support for us as he gave us very helpful guidance and if you can find someone who has passed the earlier year he will give you a lot of additional inputs that would prove invaluable.

Also you can find people on social networking site like Orkut or if someone in your acquaintance has cleared then you can be in touch with them for the guidance. But the guidance is important if you are going to prepare on your own. If you are planning to join some coaching classes than it’s not a problem.
