‎6 Steps Towards Success in EAMCET:

9:44 PM 0 comments

•Focus on solving as many problems as you can, rather than just reading theories, formulae and solutions
•More than rigid reliance on rules without understanding ( rule – oriented study ) rely on any understanding of mathematical concepts and flexibility in the problem solving (Concept Oriented Study).
•Master the fundamentals, as most questions are designed to evaluate the candidates clarity of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply these concepts in problem solving.
•Don’t be in rush to solve problems. In EAMCET. Both speed and strike rate matter. You need to be quick as well as accurate to achieve high scores. High speed with low accuracy can actually ruin your results
•Master the fundamentals, practice a lot, and manage time well. Most of the students follow CMP order (Chemistry, Maths, Physics)
•Chemistry – 35 min, Mathematics – 75 min and Physics – 40 min remaining time for marking and left difficult and lengthy questions. Practice rounding off method, identify the difficult and lengthy problems and round it off and move to another problem as scoring is important to us.

Preparation Tips to crack EAMCET:

9:44 PM 0 comments

•Memorizing land mark problems (remembering standard formulae, concepts so that you can apply them directly) being strong in mental calculations (never use calculator during your EAMCET preparation), try to do first and second level of the calculations with out pen and paper
•Speed is the familiarity , more familiarity with concepts and formulae leads to more speed
•Read each question carefully, some times you can identify the range of the answer to that question and only one option will be in that range so you can answer the question with out solving the problem E.g, answer is positive and only one option is positive
•While preparing for EAMCET Mathematics students should practice substitution methods and verification methods and also tips and tricks given in all EAMCET materials. You cannot rely on only concepts because time is the main factor In EAMCET
•EAMCET exam students should maintain a calm and cool mid state as the exam demands confidence, speed, accuracy. You must be very confident, don’t panic, its not difficult and tough. Tou need to learn some special tips and tricks to solve the EAMCET Questions to get a top rank
•Do not spend more time on any question (More than 1 and half min). if you do so you will lose the time for another problem which may be easy for you
•Identification of the problem to be attempted or not to be attempted plays a major role in your success, so while preparing for EAMCET you should concentrate more on this factor
•Do not listen to your friends and other classmates, the topics which are easy or difficult need not be the same for two students. Do not change your preparation methods at this stage
•Don’t try to touch new topics as they will take time, you will also lose your confidence on the topics that you had prepared already. But prepare up to IPE level Basic concepts in each and every topic. As there is no negative marking you can go for answering every question.
•Don’t try to attempt 100% unless you are 100% confident. It is not necessary to attempt the entire question paper, don’t try if you are not sure and confident as negative marks are not there. If you are confident in 60% questions , that will be enough to get a good rank
•Never answer the questions Blindly. Be wise, pre-planning is very important
•There are mainly 3 difficulty levels, simple, tough and average. First try to finish all the simple question papers to Boost your confidence
•Don’t forget to prepare EAMCET previous year papers before the examination
•As you prepare for the board examination, you should also prepare and solve the last year question papers for EAMCET. You also need to set the 3 hour time for each and every previous year paper, it will help you to judge yourself, and this will let you know your weak and strong areas. You will gradually become confident
•You need to cover your entire syllabus but don’t try to touch any new topics if the exams are close-by
•Most of the questions in EAMCET are not difficult but they are just IPE Level. They require simple basic concepts in each topic. You will notice only 10 to 15 % of questions are difficult and lengthy ones. As time is the major factor you must take care of time management even during the preparation time. You should not think about time when you are revising the concepts
•It is very important to understand what you have to attempt and what you have to omit. There is no limit to which you can improve your speed and strike rate beyond which what becomes very important is your selection of question. So success depends upon how judiciously one is able to select the questions. To optimize your performance you should quickly scan for easy questions and come back to the difficult ones later.
•Try to ensure that in the initial 2 hours of the paper the focus should be clearly on easy and average questions, after two hours you can decide whether you want to move on to the difficult questions or revise the ones attempted to ensure a high strike rate

EAMCET Tips – Time Management – Subject wise Analysis:

9:43 PM 2 comments

•Students must thoroughly go through the papers of previous exams and grand tests.
•they should be very fast while solving the problems. They must be aware the pace needed for solving each problem.
•they must be very well versed with the concepts and the formulas of all the chapters.

•Students should be very confident while answering the questions. They must make sure they attempt all the questions as there is no negative marking.
•Aspirants must attempt more and More Mock Tests so that he realizes the mistakes he had done and did not repeat again

Tips for Mathematics:
•The most scoring chapters are probability, permutations and combinations. They have stress on particulars chapters such as matrices (determinants), circles, straight lines, general solutions, and properties of triangles.
•Differentiation and probability, integral calculus, vector algebra, trigonometric equations, definite differential calculus circles are most important chapters carrying high weight-age.

Tips for Chemistry :
•Start with chemistry as it saves time. Concentrate on organic chemistry as 10 to 14 bits are expected from it.
•Atomic structure, periodic table, chemical bonding is to be stressed as 3-4 bits are expected from these chapters.
•For second year topics follow Telugu Academy text book. Both problems and theory questions are expected from acids and bases, solutions, chemical kinetics and thermodynamics.

Tips for Physics :
•Always attempt physics at the end.
•Stress on synopsis, formula and conditions of every chapter from Deepthi Series.
•About 60 per cent to 70 per cent of bits are expected from Access yourself columns of Telugu Academy.
•Write few tests so that it will be a practice to manage time.
