In this article, with the idea of guiding the aspirants in the right direction, we will discuss the major mistakes to be avoided during the preparation to achieve the best results in the Railway NTPC exam.
Common Mistakes to avoid during the RRB NTPC Preparation
The following points enlist the common mistakes to be avoided while preparing for the RRB NTPC exam:
Relying on Shortcuts
One must have strong basic concepts to ace the exam with the best scores. Focus on building strong concepts and then learn the short tricks to solve the questions. If the candidates completely rely on the shortcuts and the questions are modified a bit in the exam then it can create confusion and they may fail to attempt the exam. Therefore, it is important to learn the concepts first and then memorize the shortcuts accordingly.
Not Referring to the Syllabus during the preparation
Candidates are advised to go through the RRB NTPC Syllabus in a detailed manner before starting the preparation. Many times aspirants make the mistake of not sticking to the syllabus and preparing the unimportant topics that are not even asked in the exam. Identify the topics relevant to the syllabus and allocate their time accordingly to prepare for the exam.
Preparing for Too Many Exams at a time
While preparing for the RRB NTPC Exam, the aspirants must focus only on one exam. It may only create confusion if the candidates prepare for too many exams at a time. Every exam like SSC, Banking, RRB have their own set of exam patterns, criteria, and syllabus to assess the candidates. Therefore, they are advised not to sail in two boats and focus only on one exam.
Referring Multiple Study Resources
It is observed that many candidates waste their time and energy in referring to multiple study materials and books from both online and offline stores. On that note, they are advised to refer to the limited resources based on the latest RRB NTPC Exam Pattern and Syllabus. Aspirants should practice multiple questions from a single book rather than practicing one concept from multiple books to avoid last-minute confusion before the exam.
Neglecting General Awareness Section
Candidates should not avoid the general awareness section because it carries the maximum marks in both the exam stages. Many times they skip reading newspapers or attempting daily current affairs quizzes out of laziness or other commitments. This should be avoided if the candidates want to achieve the best results in the exam. One should remember that maximum marks in less time can be secured only in this section. Therefore, the aspirants should not skip this section. They should regularly revise current events, important dates, awards & recognition, and so on on a daily basis.
Skipping the Revision of Important Topics
Last-Minute Revision is one of the most important parts to achieve a high score in the competitive exam. After the release of the RRB NTPC Notification, the candidates need to pull their socks up and devote themselves to the preparations including regular revisions. They should create a study plan that has the slots for mock tests and revision. Revise all the important topics and formulas before appearing for the RRB NTPC exam.
