Both IPE Score and TS Eamcet marks are considered to calculate TS Eamcet rank. However, IPE Score is given less weightage i.e. 25% weightage and rest of the importance is given to Eamcet score. Now to get a rank under 5000, you must aim to score 100+ marks in the exam and if you have over 90% in IPE, you can get a rank under 5000. Focus on important chapters. Instead of choosing a random topic from the syllabus, you must break your preparation into sections. Sub-topics from each section should be selected and then strategy on clearing concepts must be made. You can make short notes on the topics that you have find difficult to understand.Never leave any concepts doubtful or unsolved. Once done with the syllabus and concept clarity, you should move towards solving previous years papers. Give mock tests as much as possible. Time management is one more important thing you should look upon. Remember that practise will increase your efficiency. Give at least two mock tests every week. Then analyze your weak parts and work on them.
