How to prepare one month before NDA & NA Written Examination

The National Defence Academy and Naval Academy (NDA & NA) Examination is administered by Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) for School Leaving (K-12) Students in India. Writing written examination is the first step; qualified candidates are called for personality test and interview for final selection. The UPSC India conducts NDA & NA Examination twice every year. 

Here are a few tips to prepare one month before actual NDA and NA test date.

#1. NDA & NA Examination is rigorous testing to fix, what you have studied in school years and whether you would be able to serve to Indian Defence Forces. Plan your preparation at least one year before you write actual examination.

#2. Self study is the key; NDA & NA Examination is objective type test / multiple choice questions (mcqs). Clear the basics well, and practice identical questions, the types that are asked in real examination.

You can find guide books for NDA & NA Preparation in the market place. Also you can search for websites that conducts online classes and provides study material, mock test etc.

Find a mentor; join some coaching institute for NDA & NA Exam Preparation. If your parents can not afford fees, find someone who can teach you only selected topics, that way will be cheaper. If either not works for you, do not loose hope, be your own mentor!

#3. Plan your studies for NDA & NA Exam at least one year before the actual examination. This is essential step. Cover every topic mentioned in the NDA & NA Exam Syllabus and practice lots of Objective Type Questions. This is essential, so you feel confident at least one month / two month / 3 months before actual exam date. 

NDA&NA Written Exam is competitive test to identify whether you would be able to complete a course from one of the Defence Academy and further serve to Indian Defence Forces. The Level of NDA & NA Examination Questions is high.

#4. Do NOT study new topic. Every topic from the syllabus is important. But NO, if something has left, leave it for now. Focus only around covered topics.

#5. Revision is the Key. Keep revising Mathematics Formulae, and General Ability Test (GAT) Basics.

#6. Test your self; take mock tests, as many as you can. Ideally, one mock Test every alternate day will work well.

#7. Evaluate yourself, how you fared. Why you marked an answer wrongly from one of your favorite topics. Pick the basic books and clear doubts.

NDA & NA Exam is high pressure competitive test; do not overload yourself with exam worries. This is just another examination. Stay calm, go for walk, listen music, eat healthy. STAY FIT. Even small sickness may hamper your performance in actual test.

STOP READING!

How much you prepared, believe, that much will get you a place in NDA & NA Written Test Result. You can flip books, look across some formulae, or periodic table, but not for the purpose of Exam Preparation and scoring. You are already prepared, now it’s time to test yourself.

16 Websites and Apps For Entrance Exam Preparation

Test Prep

Every student appears for entrance examination at some stage in life. Preparing for an entrance exam takes ample amount of time and energy. You need to be with the crowd and stand out as distinct. In any entrance examination the number of candidates qualified is significantly less than the number of candidates appeared for it.
Preparation matters.
Irrespective of at what examination a student is writing, the level of questions asked are always high. An entrance examination tests you for 3 things. 
1: What you have studied in previous years. 
2. Your academic aptitude, are you able to take admission in a said course for which examination is being conducted and 
3. Whether you would be able to complete further course work successfully?

The questions asked in any entrance examination come from the curriculum that you had studied in preceding years. However, the level of questions asked are high.

This is digital age, computers, laptops and mobile devices are available in abundance. The method of learning is changing slowly. Now many best teachers prefer teaching online. Student also loves studying while sitting at home. To help in your entrance examination preparation, I gathered here 16 Website and Apps that you can use for entrance test preparation. 

Following given the list and web address. Through these website you can get access to Online Learning for Entrance Examination (Web based learning, App based learning, Computer Based Learning or a combination of few or all of these).
  1. Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org)

This list may be or may not be helpful to you. But do not count on AI based learning for examinations, that will lead you to nowhere. Perhaps some may pass the exam from AI based learning as well but AI is not a trusted source of information.
Please count of books, teachers and guides for academic studies. I am not against AI instead I am with AI but I do not support blind faith and academic learning based on AI. May be AI can help learning to those in special need or something like that and its doing it already but writing your answers based on AI responses because you are lazy will be harmful to your career.
