According to the MNS exam pattern, 50 questions are from Physics, Chemistry and Biology, 50 questions from General Intelligence and 50 questions from General English. It is advised that you do subject-wise preparation for the exam. Divide your time and efforts accordingly. In this article, we provide you with the subject wise strategies along with the list of important topics in the exam. This will help you in planning your preparation strategy for MNS in 2 months.
Physics Preparation Strategy
1. Make a Study Routine:
•Follow the 3 day Plan.
•Go through the syllabus and divide the topics across the first 45-50 days.
•Keep in mind that you should not spend more than 3 days on a single chapter.
•It is advised that you complete the syllabus 10- 15 days prior to the exam.
•Thus, the last 15 days will be helpful for you in revising the concepts.
2. Take tough decisions:
•Don’t stick to easy topics or start new topics.
•Always cover and be prepared with all the concepts of MNS syllabus, avoid any new topic at the end moment which is not on high priority for the exam or difficult topics which are taking a lot of time.
•Focus on the topics that you have studied earlier.
•Remember the basic formulae and go through the questions asked in the previous year exams.
3. Fix your priorities
•Mark out the important topics and then prioritize the concepts which needs to be completed. You will find important topics in the next section of this article.
•Try to work on the easier ones first and then move on to the difficult ones.
4. Practice numerical problems
•Practice problems from NCERT books.
•Revise the formulas daily so as to improve your speed of problem-solving.
•Make short tricks for calculations to reduce time taken.
Chemistry Preparation Strategy
The Chemistry section can be divided into 3 parts i.e. Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry. For your reference, we are providing you a 60-day breakup plan for the Chemistry section of MNS 2020.
1. Practice Questions
•Make sure that you practice numerical problems repeatedly.
•It is the section where you can score higher marks if you prepare well.
•For the beginning, you should go for the easy topics.
2. Smart Preparation for Chemistry
•Make a condensed formula sheet for Physical Chemistry.
•Inorganic Chemistry will give you good rewards for the effort that you put in. NCERT books are the best to prepare for these topics.
•For starters, prepare Chemical bonding concepts perfectly. Topics like Qualitative Analysis, P Block elements and Metallurgy are important.
•From Organic Chemistry, make sure you study these topics well – general organic chemistry, Grignard’s reagents, Hydrocarbons, Carbonyl compounds and Biomolecules.
3. Master Chemistry Topics
•Remember that Chemistry can be proved as the easiest subject if prepared properly.
•This section takes lesser time to solve compared to others.
Biology Preparation Strategy
1. Study schedule
•For the Biology section, it is advised for you to target as many days as possible for the preparation.
•Try to save 10- 15 days for the revision.
•Shortlist the topics as per their probability and the difficulty level.
•Since Biology makes up half the marks if you prepare for it well, allot time accordingly.
•Revise notes & diagrams from NCERT Class 11 & 12 books.
2. Target Easy Questions
•Prepare & practice easier questions first. The easier questions section can be helpful in solving maximum questions.
•Topics of Ecology, Animal & Plant Physiology, Cell Biology, Genetics & Evolution and Biotechnology are the most important topics and must be covered under the study plan.
General English Preparation Strategy
1. Make a daily study routine
•For General English, practice as many questions as you can.
•Give 1-2 hours daily to the subject.
•Practice questions from Mock Test Series.
2. Target Questions
•English is easy subject but at the same time, it is confusing too. So, target questions and focus on it.
•Solve all types of questions (easy, moderate and tough ones).
General Intelligence Preparation Strategy
1. Make a daily routine
•For the subject General Intelligence, daily practice of reasoning is required.
•Must keep an eye on general knowledge.
2. Prioritize daily
•The area of news and general knowledge is very vast. So, make a habit to watch news daily.
•General knowledge questions should be practiced daily.
