- Be aware of the basic

While it's important to pay attention to specific exam requirements, the secret to exam preparation is to grasp the fundamentals. As a result, familiarizing yourself with the exam structure, syllabus, and selection process should be your priority.

The UPSC states that there are two phases to the selection process: a written exam and an SSB interview. There are two written exams: a mathematics paper and a general ability test. Incorrect answers result in a mark deduction.

Therefore, having a basic understanding of the material will enable you to tailor your study plan and preparation technique to the subjects and weights assigned to each session.

 

Activity paper and practice mock

Studying for the NDA exam requires taking numerous mock exams and reviewing questions from prior years.

This tactic helps you assess your development and pinpoint areas that require improvement. It also helps in the analysis of your test results to identify your areas of strength and weakness.

 For this reason, monitoring the time you spend reviewing the previous year's papers is crucial to passing the test.

 

Time management

The secret to studying for and passing the test is effective time management. You must make a study plan and follow it to focus and manage your time well. A schedule detailing the subjects to be covered, the amount of time allotted for each subject, and the study hours must be made.

Studying for the NDA exam requires efficient time management to accomplish goals. Your goal should be to accurately respond to as many questions as you can in the time given.

 

Agree to a holistic method

You should take a comprehensive approach to studying for the NDA exam, working through as many questions as you can to gain a thorough understanding of both simple and complicated ideas. Since the exam has negative markings and a sectional cut-off, accuracy actually matters more than speed.

Keep up with the most recent information regarding the test and defense. Since remaining current will benefit you in the NDA exam's General Knowledge part.

 Additionally, you may keep ahead of the competition by staying informed about the everyday events leading up to the exam. Therefore, staying ahead of the competition and gaining the confidence to ace the exam may be achieved by candidates who are aware of the revised curriculum and exam format.
