Applicants are advised to solve the past year UGET papers of COMEDK. Candidates must note down the important topics which you feel has been asked frequently. Match these up with your strengths and prepare accordingly. Revise the fundamental concepts, as there are questions which directly ask you one word solution and knowing the concept can help you in getting the answer in no time. About 50% (or even more) of the COMEDK paper is like this. Always make sure to clear your doubts then and there as coming back later to the same topic might be a waste of time.
If you have enough time, prepare the topics that you are weak in and which are regarded to be important and frequently asked from your above assessment. Practice and label diagrams for biology students as some questions will be direct from identifying the labelled part of the diagram. These will be sitters in your examination. Try to practice from more than one reference book. Reference books of CET (Common Entrance test) will also be useful for COMEDK UGET.
