  • No regular coaching classes were attended by me.
  • Taking as many mock tests as possible is a good preparation strategy. Divya joined an online Mock test series by Cetking.
  • 20 full-length mock tests as per actual exam pattern were taken by Divya. It helped her to manage time.
  • MHT CET according to Divya, is a time management exam. Maximising the attempts is a must within the time allotted.
  • The key tip is to manage time and practice as per the actual test pattern
  • Skipping the questions is an art and should be learnt to avoid wastage of time.
  • Don’t get nervous in the exam hall, even if there are any technical glitches. Keep your confidence level high.
  • Reasoning commands a lion’s share in MHT CET, so focus on it more. It is also time consuming, so practice it more.
  • Best way to improve on Logical and Abstract Reasoning questions is to solve as many sets of puzzles in the shortest time with accuracy
