- MA Psychology entrance exams normally contain questions from all sections of Psychology, be it General Psychology, Clinical Psychology or even Educational Psychology. Thus, you need to focus on all of these.
- Make a study plan that is realistic since most of the plans that we make are not followed. Make a plan that suits you and is also possible to complete. This will make the study more efficient and save time later.
- Avoid studying too many books too little for theory. Choose one book that you can understand and follow that minutely.
- Make an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses that you have. Study the strengths minutely so that you can make full use of it. Avoid losing too much marks on the areas that you think you are weak
- Solve the previous papers to understand the question pattern and then plan your studies effectively. Study the parts that carry more marks and try to make them as your strengths.
- Stay mentally and physically balanced. Don't over exhaust yourself, this will have a detrimental effect on your studies.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
