Every entrance exam, there is a prescribed syllabus that the students can get from the official website of the respective exam authority. The students can download it from the net and refer that while making their schedules. Most of the state entrance is completely based upon the curriculum of plus two and if a student is through with this, he/she only have to think about the nature and structure of the questions.

For the All India level examination for medical and Engineering, the topic is mostly covered in the NERT curriculum and the students can refer the text book for preparing the exam. They can also go with the previous year question papers, which is also available in the website.

Students are required to spend very less time as possible on each exam. So be familiar with the shortcut for answering rather than going for a step-by-step method. Also they must be able to read and answer the question in a speedily manner. This can be possible only if the student is practicing a number of question papers. Most of the entrance test has negative mark system, for every wrong answer there will be mark reduction. So the candidate must be very careful about answering, mark the answer if you are confident only.

But it is advisable to all the students to have a second plan also, in case you miss the one you can move forward without any hesitation. As we heard lot about Plan B and Plan C and it is similar to the contingency plans. This will help the students to have confidence in their approach and will decrease the pressure over them. They can concentrate more on their studies for the exams and will eliminate unhealthy worries and anxieties.
