How to Study for CETs

Make sure you are in the right mindset

  • Studying amidst a pandemic can be quite hard, and taking care of your mental health is the top priority. 
  • Do this breathing exercise – breathe in for 4 seconds, holding your breath for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds might help you relax and prepare for studying. 

Organize your study space

  • Being in a conducive environment will help you be productive
  • Try and get rid of all distractions, and make sure you feel as comfortable and as able to focus as possible
  • Put on some music to help you focus.

Use technology to your advantage

Have a schedule 

  • Create a schedule to review a subject for the day
  • Make it a routine to start reviewing at a certain time to retain information easier

Have a study group

  • Use Zoom if you have to, reviewing is better if you have friends to help you with.
  • Share your reviewers with them and ask for help whenever you have a hard time in a subject

Take 5-minute breaks in between

  • After reviewing for a subject for at least 30 minutes, allot 5 minutes for you to unwind and refresh
  • It will help you retain more information if you rest for 5 minutes in between.

Talk to your seniors 

  • Ask for reviewers, review tips from your seniors
  • Their insight on the previous CETs might help you prepare for your incoming entrance test
