NRA CET 2022: Subject-Wise Preparation Tips
Let us now look at how we can prepare for the NRA CET matric-level exam for each subject.
Firstly, we must understand that the level of assessment will be of matric level-only. Therefore, we can expect the questions to be simple and basic.
Quantitative Aptitude
- The more important topics from this section are Number Systems, Ratio and Proportion, Data Interpretation, Percentages, Mensuration, Simple and Compound Interest.
- Solve 5 questions from each of the aforementioned topics daily.
- However, you must give due time and attention to all the topics as well.
- Memorize tables up to 20, Squares up to 40, and Cubes up to 20. This will help you solve all the questions quickly and accurately.
- Take 1 or 2 subjects at a time only. It is best to begin slowly and steadily if mathematics is not your strong suit.
- Moreover, we advise you to begin with the more difficult topics first.
- Please keep in mind, since the assessment is for matric-level only, all the questions will be quite basic. Therefore, if you practice enough, you should be able to score well in this section.
General Intelligence & Reasoning
- This is the most important section of any competitive exam from the examiner’s perspective.
- General Intelligence and Reasoning seeks to check the problem-solving ability of a candidate.
- The more important topics for this section are Coding-Decoding, Alphanumeric Series, Verbal Reasoning, Embedded Figures, Blood relations, Direction Sense and Order & Ranking.
- For this section and for Quantitative Aptitude, we recommend that you take many mock tests to understand how you are faring in this exam.
General Awareness
- The General Awareness section of the paper basically can be divided into 2 parts, i.e., Static G.K and Current Affairs. Among these 2, if you are asked school-level static G.K., it can be a very scoring section as questions will be asked from history, geography, elementary science, politics, novels, English literature and the like.
- If you passed your matric exam a few years ago, its time to reopen your school books once again. However, be mindful of the latest syllabus as a reference point for your exam.
