Preparation Focus for the Next 95 Days
With little time left, a disciplined study plan is essential. Education experts highlight the three pillars of success: revision, practice, and consistency.
Revision of Key Concepts
During this phase, students should revisit core concepts across subjects:
- Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology) fundamentals
- Regularly update and revisit quick-revision notes
- Focus on areas with frequent question patterns
This reaffirms conceptual clarity and builds confidence ahead of the exams.
Regular Mock Tests with Analysis
Mock tests are crucial for simulating the actual test environment and improving both speed and accuracy. Candidates should:
- Attempt full-length mock tests weekly or more often
- Spend significant time analysing mock performance
- Identify and work on weak areas after each test
This strategy helps build endurance and reduces exam-day errors.
Speed & Accuracy Enhancement
The BITSAT pattern demands quick problem-solving: 130 questions in 3 hours across multiple sections. Therefore:
- Track time spent per question
- Practice sectional tests to improve pace
- Avoid excessive time on tough questions and revisit later
Effective time allocation and question selection can significantly impact the final score.
Points to Remember During Final Preparation
- Avoid studying too many new resources-stick to a single solid material for consistency.
- Maintain physical and mental health to sustain long prep hours.
- Practice English proficiency and logical reasoning, sections that often distinguish top scorers.
Following a disciplined, data-driven approach for the remaining 95 days can make a significant difference in performance for BITSAT aspirants, especially for competitive engineering seats at BITS Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad campuses.
