Prep Tips for NIFT Creative ability test [CAT]

Develop objectives and goals: Your goal should be clear to you so that you have confidence and a planned approach towards your goal. Don’t prepare to appear in the examination but set your target to qualify and get marks in the test. Develop your objectives to achieve your goal. You must be very sure about what are you preparing for. List out the topics you have to cover to qualify for the examination. Check your strength and weakness and set objectives to improve

Prepare a methodology: Make a draft methodology chart for your preparation, as you have to prepare for the test in stages, and skipping or shuffling the stages can confuse you and may affect the quality of your work which may hinder your performance in the examination. Start with the fundamentals of design. This would keep you updated about your progress and will set a strong foundation for further stages.

Determined Approach: Be determined and execute your plan thoroughly and rigorously. Keep in mind, if you just make plans and do not implement them then there would not be any significant progress in your quality of work.

Observation and Application based methods: Keep observing your surrounding and vicinity; this would help you to understand the application of the topics you are practicing, as the creative test is always application-based. For example, if you are practicing line work then check for its application, look up questions-based online exercises. The same should be done for all the topics to understand the reason for practicing particular topics.

Be Optimistic: The examination is designed to evaluate drawing, visualization, creative writing but other than this it also assesses the psychology behind your answers. Your answer will depict your psyche. One has to keep an optimistic approach by choosing positive, cheerful, confident topics, options, and color schemes.

Avoid Myths: A common myth is that entrance exam are very tough or that the questions are complex and difficult to crack. It is just a different pattern of examination that requires a different approach to understand the same subject that you have studied in school.

Time Management: Time management is a critical part of the preparation of any exam as you have to maintain the quality of your answer and complete it in the given time as well. Students should develop a habit of drawing complete answers and doing it in a set timeline. So attempt the questions with such a speed that you can complete the tests within the stipulated time.

No Plagiarism, No shortcuts. Avoid focus dilution: Do not copy answers from any available resources. Avoid plagiarism, as it would damage your imagination abilities and would deplete your thoughts, ideas, and observation regarding the subject and topics and you will not be able to come up with any innovative answers. Your focus should be strong and cemented, do not get distracted from unnecessary ideas or logic which are not applicable or unpractical concerning your preparation. Remember, there is no shortcut for developing your skills; you have to keep practicing and observing.
