Tips and Tricks for BITSAT:
Refer to BITSAT syllabus in the brochure available on BITS official website.
· You need speed to finish BITSAT within prescribed time limit. Go through the topics in the brochure and start with the ones that you are good at. Practise reasoning and mathematics problems by memorising formulas.
· After each study session keep 1 hour for revision of topics learned/practised. Learn Chemical reactions by writing over and over.
· Make mathematics your strong suit, practise questions to solve them within time to increase efficiency. The trick here is to mug up math formulas by heart, so they come in handy while solving a problem.
· Become smart by attempting questions that you are sure of first, then come to the questions you’re in doubt. But don’t attempt them anyway, remember negative marking is a factor here. Therefore, only attempt a question if you really know the answer to.
· Manage your time properly; give appropriate amount of time to each section. Try to improve your time by practicing as many online tests as possible.
