Hello Naveen,

Here are some tips to score good marks in Gate ME:

Your plan of action is very important:

1) First of all, classify the subjects (you have opted) into i) analytical and tough, ii) analytical and easy, iii) descriptive and tough, and iv)descriptive and easy.

2) Try to prepare analytical subject followed by descriptive subject. You can think of making notes, marking/highlighting the important portion of reading material.

3) Never mix-up analytical subject and descriptive subject (you can not learn unless your mind is concentrated). But you can mix-up (or bring in between) easy subject, when you are tired with a tough subject.

4) Every one hour, you keep changing the subject as per the second and third points (when you are reading something dull, difficult or boring, keeping your attention focused for one hour is also a challenge).

5) Before you start the next subject, relax for just five minutes (Which is going to enhance your understanding capacity).

6) Try to be confidant of the basic concepts.

7) Have five years' question papers, and have a mock test (at the weekend).

8) Then compare your answers with the right one (and keep observing the improvements or shortfalls).

9) You should never get distracted your mind despite so many diversions.

10) Your must keep some interesting things to change your mood and calm-down your mind. You can use the break time to watch songs and news on TV(to break the monotony).

11) You can take the help of light melodious background music (if need be).
