MHT CET 2024 Chemistry Preparation tips
- Practice Numerical problems thoroughly : Gas equations, Thermodynamic problems, oxidation deduction and calculation of empirical formula are to[pics that are quite frequently asked and one can only master them only through practise.
As Pranesh Naik, MHT CET 2006 Topper has said , “Practice till you become perfect”
- Revise topics : Although revision is necessary for all the topics but few topics such as - s,p,d,f Block elements, Amines, Cyanides, Isocyanides, Alcohol, Phenol , Ether, ALdehydes, Ketone and Carboxylic Acids should be revised on a repeated basis as they are easy to forget.
- Maintain a small handbook - A student should maintain a small handbook containing important equations, formulae, facts, properties, methods and only information which he deems useful in a well tabulated format. Special attention should be paid to Polymers, Reduction equations, Unit cell packing and other topics. This would be handy in quickly referencing the facts while discussing or revising.
