HOW TO CRACK GPAT

START YOUR PREPRATION
• Be away from your Girl Friend or Boy Friend. Don’t have
friendship with your mobile.
• Never get anything into mind other than what is your
goal.
• Just think for a while have some peace of mind and only
start the studies.
• Just think about your parent who sent you outside from
home for study not for other things like movies, parties
etc.
• We are sure most of you won’t eat on time. But this
matters. Keep an alarm to remind you.
• Scheduling some time fails. So better don’t think of
reschedule.
• When you go for sleep think about whole day, what you
learn today, then close your eyes and think one by one. At
one point u think that i forget something about a
particular chapter which i learn today then see your
register/copy on next morning and learn the points which
u forgot.
• Have good sleep when ever u r sleepy. Don’t think i
should complete this chapter and only sleep.
• You are hostellers or day scholars whatever you learn,
then discuss these topics in your groups/friend circle.
Because whenever you go for discussion on any topic you
never forget that particular topic/chapter.
• Whenever you feel Sleepy in day time, drink cold water
and walk for few minutes then start study.
• Some student makes their schedule like… They pick one
subject and complete it all then go for next subjects. Some
pick all subjects simultaneously. We think this strategy
depends on the students but second one is more effective
according to our experience because some time only one
subject takes around 10 day so some time it’s boring to
learn one subject for such a long time.
• Revision is very important, make your schedule like this
that you revise previous learn chapters.
• Whenever you read any chapter write important points
on the top of page of your copy/register, make these
points memory tip results (MTP’S).
• Whenever you start preparation read pharmacology and
medicinal chemistry simultaneously.
• Make charts, flow diagram & tables and paste them on
the wall of your room.
• Find some topic from which one question is always asked
in previous year examinations. So prepare these topics
with extra effort.
• Solve more and more questions. Make your rhythm to
solve calculation type questions so you get your speed.
• Visual Memory
Some have a very good visual memory, Make use of this
while preparing for GPAT.Draw the diagrams and link
them to all what you have learnt about them.
• Prepare your own question Bank
• Acronyms & Acrostics
To learn Classification of Drug create an acronym, take the
first letters of the items that you are trying to remember
and make a new word out of them or u can add ur friends
name in trick.
Eg. To learn Second Generation Fluroquinolones drug
Classification
TRICK-
L atest LG M oblie Store-
L -Lomefloxacin, L -Levofloxacin, G - Gatifloxacin, M -
Moxifloxacin, S- Sparfloxcin.
Similar  type of many other trick prepared by
GPATINDIA experts
• For NIPER JEE prepare English, Verbal reasoning & GK
about (CURRENT AFFAIRS).
Best Tips (when just 7 days remaining for exam)
• * Give one day for one subject for revision of all topics
(whatever notes you prepared for that particular subject).
• In evening meet with friends and go for healthy
discussion on topics. Suppose you are 4 friends, all 4 read
same subject for all the day then go for discussion. We
think it is the best way to learn.
• Don’t think about other friend preparations, just do your
work.
• Don’t pressurize (depress) yourself from the fear of
exam be very cool. Just believe in yourself.
• Don’t think that i did lot of preparation and if i will not
get success in exam then what will happen. This type of
thinking pressurizes you & it will affect your performance
in exam.
• Don’t read any new chapter.
• One night before exam take good sleep. Don’t think
much about exam. Just relax. Eat light dinner and go for
good sleep.
• On the day of exam wakeup early in the morning & do
meditation for 15minute.Then revise as much as possible.
Read news paper (just headline) for relaxing yourself.
Don’t forget your admission letter. Reach examination
place before half hour.
Best Tips (In Exam)
• Read all instruction very carefully.
• Some students first solve full paper then they fill OMR
Sheet. But our experience and a survey said that in this
method lot of student do silly error, or mistakes to fill
OMR sheet in last time hurry or sometime remaining time
is very less to fill OMR sheet due to mismanagement of
time by student. So follow following pattern
• Solve one question then fill OMR Sheet for that particular
question. Follow this pattern for whole paper.
• Sometime first ten questions are very hard to solve, this
is the strategy of examiner to demoralize the students. So
don’t feel fear, nausea etc. so don’t loose your confidence
go for next questions these are much simpler then firs ten.
• Solving question by negative approach say for example….
If you don’t know the answer of question but you know
that, in given four options two are not correct then you
take chance to solve this question by remaining two
options.
