Tips To Crack KVPY

Below we have provided study tips and strategies to score maximum marks in KVPY:

1. Work On Your Weak Points

At this point, you need to focus on your weak points – chapters and concepts where you are facing difficulty – especially the ones that are important for the exam. Improving on your weak areas is important but do not take too much stress upon yourself for that. You can easily work on them if you are focused.

2. Don’t Pick New Topics

One of the most important last-minute tips for KVPY is not to touch or pick any new topic. New topics will take more time to finish which you cannot afford at this moment. And even after spending time on the topic, if you are unable to understand the topic then this will affect your confidence. Revise the topics that you have already finished, and master them.

3. Create A Sound Revision Strategy

Every single moment of these last few days before the exam matters. So, you should plan and execute a good revision strategy. Create a timetable – allocate time for each and every subject and spend more time on your weak subject/topics. Special attention should be given to revising the formulae, their derivations, equations, etc.

4. Pick Important Questions

You cannot solve or even go through all the questions that you have practised for each subject during your KVPY preparation in these last minutes. What you can do is solve important and difficult questions from the chapters that you have completed. Start off with the important chapters, then move on to the chapters that you find difficult, and all other chapters at last.

5. Attempt KVPY Mock Tests & KVPY Previous Year Papers

Attempt a few KVPY SX mock tests and solve KVPY previous year papers. These will prepare you to face the actual exam. Also, analyzing your performance in these tests will help you find out your weaknesses and mistakes. You can then work on them and avoid making the same mistakes in the actual exam.

6. Use Flowcharts & Flash Cards For Revision

For last-minute revision, it is neither possible nor practical to go through the whole chapters. So, make use of your notes, flowcharts, and flashcards to revise. It will save a lot of time. Also, this approach helps in memorizing everything better.

7. Stay Positive

Stay positive. You have prepared well for your exam. But to convert your knowledge to marks in the exam, you need to stay confident and focused as well. Do not let any kind of negativity come in between you and your goal. You will definitely do well in the exam.
