What should be the last month strategy for engineering exams: revision or practicing mock papers?

The main thing to be kept in mind during the last month of preparation of any entrance exam should be to keep yourself calm and composed and not panic with the approaching dates for exams. During the last stage, you should try not to practice or try something new. Your main focus should be on how to strengthen the already known topics and to make sure you don't make mistakes in those. During the last moment, student often panic of what they don't know. They should try to mug those topics which are unfamiliar to them and in that attempt, they even make there base weak and then they do silly mistakes in the paper. If you don't know the topic and you don't think you have much time to complete the topic then don't start it. Instead, do what you think you can add cover to make that topic strong. Revision, calculation speed and memorizing power is the key to excel the competitive exams. You should also practice mock papers and see how much you are able to solve and which point is still weak and needs improvement. Practice papers help you to schedule the timing for the different parts of the paper. By solving mock paper, you can judge how much your speed should be.

Since we are talking about the final month before exams, you should not focus on reading new topics because at this point you won't be able to retain it, and as far as revision goes, as long as your concepts are clear you are already prepared. So the best thing to be considered is to practice old exam question papers as well as mock papers to test yourselves and compete in a time bound strategy, that way you'll be calm during the exam as well as know how to attempt tricky questions that consume most the time.

Entrance exam is a part of life. Nowadays, on each stage of life, we have to take an exam for the course which we want to pursue. The fear of failure really scares us. No one wants to fail in the exam. For, this we need to prepare well and try to overcome all the ill effects and qualify the exam. We prepare the whole year and a single mistake may lead to failure. So, in the last month, we all need to see and practice mock tests and previous years question papers. Revision may lead to confusion, just go through question papers and see if there is any fault then go through the notes. In the exam, speed is a major factor in deciding the success level. So, keep on solving mock papers and try to solve them before time. One must need to be quick and accurate to achieve high scores. For this, in maths, use short methods for calculations and skip irrelevant steps to save time. For chemistry and physics, use key points to solve a problem and try to escape from a twisted problem. Always remember, never study a new topic or a topic which you left almost a year ago and never miss some common topics such as conics section & GP 3D straight line in maths. In chemistry, biomolecules, chemical bonding, the structure of atoms, and P&S block elements. In physics, heat and thermodynamic, gravitation, magnetic effect, optics and modern physics. Best wishes.
