Preparation
A study plan that works
- Master the +2 syllabus firstThe questions come from the Grade 11 and 12 science course. Clear concepts beat memorised tricks.
- Mathematics is the biggest score differencePractise calculus, coordinate geometry, vectors and trigonometry daily. Speed comes from repetition.
- Use timed computer practiceBecause the exam is on a computer, practise reading and answering on a screen with a two-hour timer.
- Be careful with guessesWith negative marking, guess only when you can rule out at least one or two options.
- Review every mock testWrite down why each wrong answer was wrong. Repeat those topics the next day.
