3. Best study resource and online coaching
In market a lot of study material and SSC JE online coaching courses available and student get confused in choosing the best resource for them. According to experts of Next Engineer and Toppers the best material has few characteristics that are:
- The study material and online course should be capable of providing Comprehensive and Structured knowledge of the exam syllabus of electrical engineering.
- Should be designed by experts in the SSC JE Electrical Engineering Domain.
- Trusted & Recommended by so many students of the same domain.
- Have the quality and affordability for student benefit.
- Should be feasible according to exam requirement and time allotted.
- Should be easily understandable and student centric.
4. Revision and time management
The most important and key factor for deciding topper/selection of candidate is the time management and revision strategy. Topper from the first day of the preparation have proper planning and study plan for the exam and have proper daily schedule of revision & practice. This strategy help them in retention of daily studies for long time and make them more confident till the final exam.
5. Making notes
Students should rely on two types of notes that is first comprehensive notes for complete understanding of the subject they are studying and other is short notes for the purpose of revision. Short notes must include all the important concepts discussed in the class, all important formulas, and all key silly mistakes point observed during practice, test series and mock test.
6. Consistency and self-motivation
During Preparation the major problem observed is demotivation and inconsistency. Toppers also faces this type of problems but they tackle it very positively by self-motivating themselves to achieve the goal at the end. Consistency is the key to success in any exam and Electrical engineers preparing for SSC JE should be consistent to achieve their goal and should manage their time in a well-defined manner.
7. Practicing Previous year questions
The key to conquer any exam is more and more practice. Toppers do practice of the questions just after completing any concept or topic from the practice sheets and previous year question to get command on the topic. Ever student should follow this for getting better outcome during the preparation.
8. Test Series and Mock test
Test series and mock test plays a vital role in determining the level of preparation and give reality check of Preparation to the student. Analysis of Mock Test and Test Series efficiently helps in the increase in actual marks in the final exam.
