Plan

You need to organise and plan your GATE self study schedule subject wise, considering those tough and easy topics. You need know the concepts of a difficult subject in order to prepare. It is better if you choose a subject that is medium difficulty for you and is also an important subject in GATE. Don’t  start the preparation with a tough subject. Also, studying a very easy subject means you waste lot of time on it in the beginning, which is plain foolish.

Easy and Tough Subject

– Always build a timetable to finish studying for each subject in a day. – Be good in all subjects than mastering just one subject. – Use the time while travelling to prepare for GATE or for browsing and finding high  quality information. – Monitor your daily activities sincerely. – Use time to complete useful discussions with competitive group of friends. – Quit – watching TV, irrelevant internet browsing and chatting.

Time

Some exams you  can use one book to the maximum. For GATE exam, the syllabus might be in such a manner that for a few subjects all the topics may not be present in one text book.Sometimes this one book may not have enough information about a particular subject.Therefore, use two books to cover all the important topics and information. Always buy and use books with good standards and quality. – Don’t- Choose just one book. – Don’t: Buy or use bad quality books. – A little mistake can lower your GATE rank.

Text Book

These are of three kinds like standard books, institute and online resources.In good coaching institute materials, there is content that is related to your syllabus. This might help you but this  might not be enough.Textbooks have lot of information use it when you have lot of time. Online resources have lot of material, hence choose relevant high quality material. Use their quizzes and other preparatory material available to help you practice regularly.
