CTET Preparation Tips for Paper 1 & 2
- Aspirants must refer to NCERT Books of Class 1 to 5 to know the exact syllabus. They must read the ‘Note for Teachers’ given at the beginning of each textbook. This can help them in the child pedagogy section.
- Candidates should be quick in solving questions related to comprehension and prose. For this, they must understand the content and draw inferences from it.
- Solve mock papers to get an idea about the type of questions asked in the exam.
- Solve mathematical problems regularly. Though the syllabus is up to class 5, the difficulty level may go up to class 10. Hence, remember formulae and work on your speed and accuracy.
- It is recommended to practice CTET Previous year papers which can be downloaded from here.
- Candidates are advised to read the pedagogy questions carefully. Sometimes, the questions are twisted to confuse them.
- Revise mathematical concepts and formulae regularly. Devise short tricks to solve the problems in the least time possible. This will only be possible if aspirants practice a lot.
Stick to NCERT textbooks. Make pointers on concepts learned in science. Sometimes mere logic can also help us arrive at answers. For historic events, remember the events that take place in a series.
