GATE Exam - GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is an all-India prestigious examination. It tests a comprehensive understanding of engineering subjects.
Not reading instructions carefully - Many students do not read instructions carefully during the exam despite knowing that instructions are for helping the candidates not make any mistakes in the exam.
Relying on past success - Some students forget every exam is of different levels and candidates are tested for a different set of attributes. Hence, candidates must treat every exam as new and prepare accordingly.
Not making the selection of sections - Many candidates do not care for it and take up exams question-wise. Rather than solving questions from any section randomly, you better select the easy section first and then go for the harder one.
Not reading the options carefully - It is crucial to read all questions and their answer options carefully during the GATE exam. Candidates are suggested to not rush while going through options.
Not saving the answer after marking - Some students prefer to go through the entire question at once and mark the right answers they know. There is nothing bad about it, but the problem occurs when the students do not know time management and rush during the exam.
Answering all the questions - The ideal way to take any exam is that try to answer as many questions as you can. Negative markings can affect your performance in the exam. Hence, try to answer only those questions that you are sure about.
Stay calm and believe in yourself - It is equally important to stay calm and believe in yourself during the GATE exam. Rush and exam fear can bother you and affect your performance in the exam.
