TS EAMCET Preparation

The TS EAMCET exam requires a very careful and strategic study plan. These include understanding the syllabus, knowing the pattern of examination, creating a study timetable, and many more. Read below to know in detail about the TS EAMCET preparation tips.

  • Understanding The Syllabus

Obtain a copy of the official syllabus of TS EAMCET released by the examining authority. Make a list of all given topics and subtopics in each subject and carry out an in-depth study of each of them. 

  • Strategic Study Planning

Design a study schedule within realistic limits. Do not set up too ambitious timelines that can cause burnout.  Include the necessary breaks, leisure activities, and adequate rest time. Allot specific time to each subject. Focus on the weak subjects or topics and spend more time improving yourself in those areas. At the same time, make sure that stronger subjects are revised consistently in order to keep up the proficiency level. 

  • NCERT/ State Board Textbooks

Use the NCERT (or State Board) textbooks of Classes 11th and 12th as your main textbooks.   Place importance on understanding concepts rather than rote learning.

  • Previous Years' Question Paper Analysis

Go through the PYQs.  This will help you understand the exam pattern.

  • Mock Test Practice

Attend mock tests regularly. This will help with time management.

  • Performance Review

Performance review is extremely important. This does not just cover calculating the scores, but also a proper understanding of the answers. Find out the wrong answers and detect the causes of them. It can occur due to conceptual errors or time management mistakes, or errors in calculations.
