hoe to score more than 350+ in bits.... which topics would be helpfull

							As far as I know there are two kinds of students who are sincerely preparing for all the competitive examinations.First type who are very confident of getting qualified into all the good colleges like IIT's,BITS,NIT's etc and the second type who are hoping to get into to atleast one of these colleges.Majority of the first type is high on confidence and the second type very low on confidence.They some time even think of wasting an extra year(which is pointless) just to get into some good college.For the second type the pressure to perform from your family and friends is very high and you ultimately give up.



This post is for the second type.With some knowledge about Bitsat you can get a decent degree in one of the campuses of BITS.

Our aim as such is to get a score above 300.Previous year cutoffs have shown that the cutoffs for dual degrees in all the three campuses is around 270.(Please read the post about dual degrees before reading this articlehere).

To score 300+ here are few tips to be followed

Prepare only from the BITSAT syllabus as given in thebrochure.
Try to revise all the topics you are good at.By revision I mean you shouldby heartall the basic formulae and basic problems.
Try to spend atleast one hour everyday from now on Chemistry reading new topics which you haven't studied till now.
Make a list of all the chemical reactions in chemistrywhich you feel are importantespeciallyOrganic Chemistry.
Mathematics needs a lot practice.Compared to Physics and Chemistry it is more mechanical than logical i.e. you don't need to use your brain...only your time in solving the problems....here it is important to have good speed in solving the problems.
Our aim at the end is to get above 300....for that you need toattempt 100 questions correctly.Considering the negative marks you may get...you shouldattempt atleast 120 questions.
A common strategy is to attempt 20 questions in English and logical reasoning...35 in Chemistry...35 in Maths and 30 in physics.....
Always start your paper with English and logical reasoning followed by chemistry then Maths then Physics....This commonly applied strategy is very effective.
Dont spend more than 1 min on any question in the first 2 hours.....Keep your clock aside and leave any question after a maximum time of one minute.
And dont be pressurised....spend some time on working with a mouse at home...practise as many online tests as possible.
All the best :)
