Reading comprehension.
Especially for English and general test, RC can make your score.
Start reading more. Articles, editorials, even random stories.
Also, practice actual comprehension sets. Train your brain to read and retain fast.
Also... don’t just read and think you understood. Prove it by answering questions.
~ Revise your domain subjects.
“Arre comprehension ko strong karo, domain toh ho jayega” - this overconfidence ruins people.
Keep revising your domain subjects regularly. I used to revise through PYQs, rather than just reading my notes again and again.
Active recall > passive rereading.
If you studied Economics or Psych or B.St., make revision a weekly ritual.
~ Time Management.
This is one of the most important soft skills for CUET.
You need to know when to study, what to study, and how long to give to each section.
Even during the exam, managing time per section is critical.
~ Speed and accuracy, dono chahiye, balance karke
Fast but wrong? Marks gayab.
Slow but correct? Paper incomplete.
You have to train your brain to be quick and correct.
Use timers. Set a target that you need to solve these questions in this span of time. Then track how many are right.
This habit makes the actual paper feel like a piece of cake.
I still remember solving some PYQs with a stopwatch, and when I got 18/20 right under time, I genuinely felt like a genius for a moment. “Bas, LSR toh ab mera”(lol)
~ Logical reasoning.
Even if you think you’re “naturally logical” (same lol), you still need practice.
Also, learn how CUET frames its reasoning questions, they have a pattern, and once you catch it, it becomes 10x easier.
~ Stick to limited resources.
More books don’t mean more marks.
I know people who jumped from one material to another and stayed confused till the end.
Pick one good resource for each subject and master it.
