Dear GATE 15 aspirants

Dear All,
Hope all of you are busy with GATE 15 preparation. I too busy in classes and not giving any updates in my blog. I got little time today before starting the class.
I would like to remind you few things before the exam

1. Consolidate all of your preparation by one month before the exam
2. Try to give more MOCK GATE tests as per your exam time. For example if your GATE 15 exam is scheduled from 2 pm to 5 pm, give MOCK TEST daily during the same time slot. So that your mind body will co operate very comfortably during the exam
3. Try to solve as many as problems with online calculator and get familiar with it
4. Topic wise tests are very important and Grand tests are much more important
5. Dont be alone and dont get panic and discuss with friends as much as you can
6. Have healthy diet and proper sleep (min 6-7 hrs of deep sleep daily) very much essential
7. Try to maintain summary of every topic and formulas in pocket notes and revise regularly. Other wise paste it on your room walls and revise frequently

All the best
