Preparation tips

The exam is very competitive and candidates who qualify are called up for the remainder of the admissions process. Candidates wishing to take the next exam will be able to complete the TISSNET 2022 application form at the end of October or the first half of November 2021. To pass the exam, candidates must have a thorough knowledge of the exam and good study material.

  • Candidates preparing for TISSNET should read the newspaper every day and keep up with the news. In doing so, applicants can create a preliminary notebook and note important names and dates.
  • Learn many tricks and shortcuts to gain the required speed in math. Solve brain teasers and brain teasers to improve your logical reasoning.
  • Solve daily reading comprehension passages and learn new words from the dictionary. Read good books and newspapers in English that will enrich your vocabulary. Be confident during the exam and get enough sleep before the exam day.
  • Be careful with faster calculations: A regular practice regimen is the only way to go fast and move through the math section. Being good at math can go a long way toward passing the TISSNET exam. One of the best things you can do is brush up on your standard math X and XI. If you have a good understanding of the math subjects taught in standards X and XI, deciphering TISSNET will not be very difficult.
  • Don’t waste time on long questions: You may be able to answer questions easily, and if so, it doesn’t get any better than that. However, on the other hand, the chances of not being able to answer questions or finding questions that are too long can be a possibility. In the latter case, applicants should not spend too much time on a single question. Time management plays an important role in the success of the exam, so do not
  • Time management plays an important role in exam resolution, so moving on to the next question in case a question takes too much time is a wise move.
  • Balance your speed and precision: Speed ​​and accuracy are the two key elements when testing TISSNET. There is no negative score on the TISSNET exam and candidates must therefore ensure that they answer a maximum number of questions correctly within the allotted time. If candidates complete the exam early but do not answer the questions correctly, your efforts will be wasted. Likewise, despite knowing all the answers, if they cannot answer within the allotted time, it would be impossible to get a high score.
  • Stay calm and focused: It goes without saying that staying calm and focused can help candidates excel on the exam. Being nervous will only increase anxiety, and in this case, applicants often click on the wrong options when they know the correct answer. It is important to read the question calmly before answering it. It might help them find the right answer, even if they don’t know it.
  • Knowing how to apply logic: Reading comprehension passages are mostly contextual. This means that a straightforward answer may not be possible. This is where candidates need to apply logic to get the answer. If they try to ask a question in the hope of getting a straight answer, they are wrong. They have to keep an open mind and look for all possible ways to get an answer by applying some logic.
  • Be flexible with your strategy: Candidates should not enter the testing center with a rigid strategy in mind. The level of difficulty of TISSNET is low / moderate. Therefore, they don’t need to create a rigid strategy to excel on the exam. For starters, trying to ask questions in the strength areas should be the goal of maximizing the score in those sections and gradually moving on to other questions.
  • Take a look at all the questions: Candidates who were unable to prepare for a particular section should not skip the questions in that section. In fact, they should take a look at the section at least once. They may come across a question to which you know the answer.
