“Know your enemy and know yourself and you can fight a hundred battles without disaster” - Sun Tzu.GATE 2019 can be compared to a war for those candidates who are currently preparing for the examination. As rightly pointed out by the quote, it is important for you to know everything about your enemy i.e., the examination to win this battle. Proper and detailed information about the examination pattern, marking scheme, types of questions asked and more should be checked on. Make sure to check GATE 2019 syllabus to know which topics may be asked as questions in the examination.

Build Your Concepts

• While preparing from the syllabus of GATE 2019, try to strengthen the basic fundamental concepts of each topic.
• Knowing the basic concept of the topics involved in the examination will give you a foundation and the topics will become easier to understand and remember.
• This understanding will result in remembering the concepts well during the examination.“This time, the questions in GATE paper were completely from basic concepts: so much basic that they tested the roots of basics! In this case, it so happens that the students get confused (like I also did initially but then recovered) because they tend to study the advance level during preparation and tend to miss/skip the easier part thinking it will easily come to them.

Mind you - IT DOES NOT.

• When you are sitting in an exam, it gets difficult and you start forgetting everything. That is why I always say that sticking to your basics is very crucial.” - Rohit Sachdeva AIR 93 (Civil Engineering)
• “They should have good understanding of the subjects. Strong basics and sound knowledge about the concepts is very important.” - M.B.Singh, CMD for the Made Easy GroupPrepare and Plan for Better ResultsOne of the most important task to fulfill before commencing the preparation process for GATE 2019 is to plan.
• Creating a schedule and dividing the syllabus accordingly will help you plan out the studies. According to your timetable, divide which chapters and topics you want to spend more time on and which requires less of your time. Keep changing the topics after every few hours of study to keep the studies from being monotonous. Try to finish the syllabus well before the examination date to keep time for revision. Make sure to add short breaks in between.
• “Planning played a very important role in the preparation; I was able to finish one main round of study and two rounds of revision, along with giving a full set of online mock papers/test series (consisting of 66 small, medium full mock tests). I did not leave out any subject as I knew that there is very less scope of leaving questions if one wants to score high!” - Rohit Sachdeva AIR 93 (Civil Engineering)
• Manage your TimeTime management is the most important factor in GATE 2019 examination. The duration of the examination is 3 hours in which you will have to solve 65 multiple choice and numerical answer type questions. Learning to manage time between the different sections will ensure that you finish the examination well before time which leaves room for rechecking of answers. While practicing sample papers, keep a timer nearby to check your time management skills.
• “There are 30 one-mark questions, which should be completed in 45-55 minutes. Then there are 35 two-mark questions in which one should invest around 100-120 minutes. With this speed, the paper can be finished with enough time left for revisiting some questions if required.” - Rohit Sachdeva AIR 93 (Civil Engineering)
• Keep Solving Mock Tests Sample PapersOne of the best methods to prepare for GATE 2019 examination is solving mock tests and sample papers. During the preparation time, it is important to constantly solve previous year question papers, sample papers and mock test.

What is the importance of solving these tests and papers?

• By solving these, you will be able to practically apply the theories and concepts that you have studied till now. Be sure to keep a timer nearby to check how much time is required to solve the paper.
• “It is equally important to take up mock tests and solve the GATE question papers from previous years. Mock tests help you stay focussed and help you to push your limits. The mock tests are normally tougher as compared to the actual papers. Solving GATE sample papers will help you to gauge the pattern of the actual GATE paper. The trick to crack the paper is no secret. One must take up the mock exams at regular intervals to know the level of one’s preparation.” - Ameya Dravid
• “In a competitive exam like GATE, more than self-appraisal, what is important is where a student stands in a group of people who may be equally competent. Mock tests and sample paper solving helps you understand your performance vis a vis the population attempting GATE. Solving previous year papers is very helpful for the simple reason that the moment you solve the last 10 years of GATE papers, you have covered almost 80% of syllabus from which you may expect questions.” - Nitin Rakesh Prasad
• “Mock tests give you a real time demo of GATE exam and help you in understanding what things should be and should not be done in the exam. Solving previous year papers gives an idea of the difficulty level of the GATE questions. It also helps us analyze the level of our preparation for GATE.” - Siddhant Khopkar
