Hi,
Based on my experience, I can say that you can easily clear the NDA written exam if you prepare with a positive approach and well planned manner. I cannot impose my itinerary on you but, I would like to share how I planned my preparations. As you know, the first step is our written exam and we need to clear it to proceed to the SSB interview. Investing the majority of your time in preparing for it is advisable. Prepare in a smart way, like:
Clear your basic concepts by sincerely following NCERT text books.
As soon as you complete a topic try to take a test and do a self assessment.
Keep revisiting the topics already covered before you start a new topic.
You should practice previous years' question papers to analyze your preparation.
Effective time management is very important as you need to solve all questions within the stipulated time.
Last but not least, approach your exam with confidence and a positive attitude.
These are just a few of the points which I followed for myself. Apart from these points, I suggest you take good online classes at your comfort to cover the syllabus in a well organized way. Numerous websites and online coaching institutes are providing us with online coaching. I personally utilized the coaching provided by Unacademy and have opted for the Iconic subscription (https://unacademy.com/goal/nda/DANNJ) which really helped me with their live classes. The structured syllabus helped me to cover the syllabus in very little time and also in an organized way. The most helpful one was the mock tests which helped me to prepare for the exam in a better way, I could clearly analyze my performance where I had to invest more effort. Finally, Unacademy provides this subscription at a nominal price compared to other learning platforms. I have just shared my point of view. I hope they stand helpful to you.
Good luck!!
