How to prepare for BITSAT
A good BITSAT plan combines concept study, topic-wise practice and regular full-length mock tests. Use the checklist below as a starting point.
- Speed is vital: aim to finish the main paper with time left for bonus questions.
- Practise the logical reasoning and English sections, which are easy marks.
- Revise NCERT-level Physics and Chemistry thoroughly.
- Analyse every mock test: separate errors into concept gaps, calculation slips and time pressure, and fix one group at a time.
- Keep a short error notebook and revise it weekly, since repeated mistakes cost more marks than new ones.
