How to Prepare for UGC NET Philosophy Exam-

Understand the UGC NET Philosophy exam pattern: The exam pattern of UGC NET Philosophy helps you in shaping your preparation in many ways.

• First, it tells you that only multiple-choice questions are asked in the UGC NET Home Science exam, so there is no point in preparing for subjective answers of 5-10 lines. Your preparation needs to be objective-oriented. You will have to allot more time to learn specific details and not whole paras.
• Second, since there is no negative marking, it allows you to take risks and go for answers to what you think might be the correct option.
• Third, you get to know how many marks you will be awarded for every written answer – 2 marks for every correct answer. So, you can set an easy target for yourself accordingly

In-depth analysis of the UGC NET Syllabus Paper 1 & Paper 2: The syllabus is no less than the bible to the students.

• Proper analysis of the syllabus is especially important in order to understand what all topics must be covered in order to be able to answer questions that come in the exam.
• The main point behind following the syllabus is that it saves a lot of your time. History as a subject is so vast that there can be no end to what you have to study, but now that you have a well-framed syllabus in your hand you have the advantage to stick to it.
• Work towards time management: From the above tip you must have known by now that you get only 3 hours to complete 150 MCQs without any break. That can be tough for those who are not good at managing time.
• For getting a better hand over completing the paper on time, you will need to solve old UGC NET History question papers. The more you practice, the more you will get used to handling the questions in time. You should use a stopwatch to calculate your speed and time.
• Secondly, if you will have a look at your syllabus, the first thing which will come to your mind is its length. You do not have to get discouraged by assuming that it’s lengthy and impossible. What you need to do instead is prepare a study schedule for yourself.
• Revision is the secret recipe: Revision is the final touch that you give to your exam preparation to make your foundation more and more concrete. It is very important to revise what you have been studying all along so that you are confident of the syllabus in general and each topic in particular. The best way to revise is to take mock tests and solve practice papers that can be found online and even in bookstores.
• To be even surer of your preparations, you can solve the previous year’s question papers and check your scores to assess your progress.
• One other way to revise is by making notes while you are preparing. Once you are done with the syllabus, you can go through your notes where you have noted down all the important points covering each topic. This way when you write your spelling also gets stronger and you memorize the names properly.
• Another important tip is that you should always start your revision with sections that are relatively tougher for you so that they also change to stronger topics in time.
• Motivate yourself physically and mentally: The last and the most important thing to complete your preparation properly is your personal well-being. Your physical and mental well-being can be ensured by not over-stressing yourself and doing away with any presumptions that an exam is tough and it is very hard to qualify. You need to focus on your eight hours of study and completion of the syllabus,
