How to prepare for the LPUNEST?

Ambition: The very first step is to decide which career you want to pursue and then start preparing for it. If you want to become an Engineer Mathematics form an integral part and if you want to become the doctor, then Biology forms an integral part. This will help you eradicate one subject and then accordingly you can prepare for the remaining subjects like Physics, chemistry, English, Mathematics/Biology.

Planning: As the topics and weightage is uploaded on the site. Prepare accordingly for them. Make a Timetable and allot effective time for all the subjects as they all carry equal weightage.

Decide the best time for you and start extensively preparing for the same.

• In the morning schedule, you can devote some time for Biology/Physics.
• In the afternoon schedule, you can devote some time to Mathematics
• In the evening schedule, you can devote some time to English/ Chemistry.

If you are occupied with schools and tuitions for your HSC make a point whenever you cover your syllabus try to cover all the important topics mentioned above. This practice will make your concept clear and will also help in your boards. With HSC you will have to surely take out some extra time for the preparation of entrance tests.

This management is possible only with the proper timetable. Without timetable you won’t be able to focus on anything. Ultimately you will get messed up which will lead to stress and ultimately it will affect your performance. As the exam schedules in May, you can also study after your boards. But with HSC if you start clearing your concepts it will add a value. So, after boards, you can dedicatedly allot some time for solving papers.

Practice Mock Papers: Your preparation for an entrance test is incomplete without practicing mock papers. Make sure you solve at least last two years papers of LPUNEST question paper. This will help to improve your speed and accuracy.
