Hi Isha,

Last days of the approaching gate exam are very crucial and you need to be very careful and specific about what you read during this period and how you use this time. In my opinion, it is more advantageous to focus on formulae and previous year questions than the mock tests. This is because formulae, if on your fingertips, will help you save a great deal of time when solving the actual gate paper. And the previous year questions will give you a clear cut view and understanding of the pattern, the kind of questions asked and also clear various concepts before the examination. Mock tests help us in improving our speed and accuracy and thus prepare us for facing the real examination. Thus they should not be completely ignored during last 15 days. It wouldn not hurt you attempt one or two mock tests every two days as this will keep you in touch with the pattern and also with the technique of attempting questions.

So it will be helpful to focus a little bit on both things so as to create a proper balance.

Good luck!

Hi isha


Solve at-least last last 10 years Previous Papers. It will make you get the idea about the type of Questions being asked in the Exam.
Focus more on 2 mark questions. They boost your Score exponantiallyPractice as many Mock-tests as you can (that too as per the Standard pattern of the Gate Exam)
keep your fundamentals and concepts clear. The Questions asked in the GATE Exam are mostly based on the fundamental concepts.
By giving these you will actually know about question pattern and gain experience for giving objective kind of test and also you will be able to measure your standard as per other student so that you can change yourself better to crack the exam
Prepare easy subject first then go to other subjects

Thank you::))

Hello Isha, for the last 15 days preparation of GATE Exam one should focus on everything you mentioned.

on the first 2 days revise all the formulas and concepts if possible

for the next 6 days practise mock tests and next 5 days see and practise all the potential questions from the previous year question papers and the last 2 days revise formulas and do not stress

relax and revise things in the last 2 days, do not practise any new questions

hope this helps

all the best!
