Tips for A Good Entrance Test:

Here are some things you need to pay attention to whenever you are applying to get admission in your desired college or university.

1. Usually, registration and entrance tests are opened several times in a year. But if you already have done with preparation then it is better to get registered for tests immediately.
2. You need to find out first which tests you will take. Get full details about pre-requisites. At least get some idea from past tests which are offered by STEP.
3. Entrance test is not just answering written questions, you know, sometimes it is also necessary to appear in interviews. In above section we have mentioned some crucial questions. You should prepare answers before you come in Interview session.
4. The advantage of registering at some reputable institute like STEP is that preparation starts early. It will help you in achieving the highest marks definitely.

A better stance is to appear in entrance test as it is your final test. You need to pass entry level test at any cost because you don’t have extra time or budget.  Your chances of success will be quite high if you adopt this approach.

Preparation for Entrance Exams:

Some extra tips are given in order to prepare well for exam test.

Have you prepared practical study plan?

Some students remain busy in making plans about preparation for entrance tests but they don’t implement drafted plan practically. They don’t study according to plan. First they spend many days to draft a rough plan about test. Then they take extra time to change it. After many days or even after few weeks as they get a final working or study plan then they don’t start it immediately.

They keep postponing it until their test date comes. At that time, they feel confusion that how to manage it all? As a result, their performance in entrance test remains poor.

What are your “true” weaknesses?

Hold on for a while, do you know all weaknesses in your personality? Look, you are not in front of panel. You are asking this question from yourself. No one is looking or listening you. Be honest, be very fair in answering this question.

If you know what are your weaknesses but you try to hide them then it means you are not ready to manage them. You are not ready to convert your weaknesses into strengths.  You are not ready to expose it even in front of you. And ultimately you try to ignore them.

The results are sometimes very bad, because you have been hiding your weaknesses then a time comes when you appear in some written entrance test or in interview. At that time, your weaknesses appear in very bad way. And your whole career or future goes into risk.

So, knowing bad qualities or habits in time, then addressing them in logical way and trying to remove those obstacles from personality means you are near to success. You are near to cross a boundary line where other successful people reach.

Don’t be too much excited or over-confidence

It is also observed, some students become too much emotional or excited after reading question paper. Either test paper is really easy or it is too hard to attempt. In both cases, be calm, be relaxed and be careful. You need to read each question with vigilant eyes especially, ones having multiple choices.

The examiner makes up a mind to confuse you with words in your entrance test. You sometimes become overconfidence or get confused with these words. So first read them in ease and then write/tick the answers.

So, our advice is take each question as you know it already. And a student just needs to distribute time on each question with active mind.
