 Hi friends, welcome to my channel, I am Arpita Karwa and in this video I am going to address two very crucial questions which students ask when they begin their preparation for UGC net paper one. And the two questions are where to start from and how to study these 10 diverse units. Yes guys, there are 10 units which are very diverse in nature that you have to study in order to crack UGC net paper one. There are units like logical reasoning, data interpretation, research methodology. Now there are students who have studied logical reasoning because they have prepared for bank PO exam but at the same time they are having no clue about research aptitude or communication. On the other hand there are students like me who have studied research aptitude in the graduation but we have no clue about data interpretation, people in environment and higher education. So how to cater to these 10 diverse units in a limited time and how to prepare efficiently. I am going to address all these questions in this video. So if you are a beginner and you are not sure about how to start your preparation or where to start it from then you are at the right place. Make sure you take a pen and paper and jot down the important points. Because once I complete this video you will have a very clear and concise strategy to chalk out your preparation for UGC net paper one. That's my guarantee. Let me begin by talking about the first question that is where to start from. This is a question which troubles a lot of students when they begin their preparation. In order to understand the answer of this question let me give you a very simple observation from nature. If you have seen a bird when she comes out of that egg she actually has the wings but she doesn't have the confidence that by flapping the wings she can fly. So what the mother does? The mother takes that bird to the top of the mountain or top of the tree and then pushes that bird. Now the bird starts dropping and it is really worried about how it can start flying or else it will drop. So the bird has no other option but to flap the wings and as soon as he starts flapping the wings she starts coming up and she starts flying and this is how the bird learns how to fly. In the similar fashion you don't need to just keep on sitting and thinking how will I fly, how will I complete the syllabus. No that's not the case you just have to give that first push you just have to take that first move and how will you do that you just have to pick any one unit and start preparing it. It's not that you have to start from this unit only then you will be able to clear net. You can start with any of the ten units you have the option you can take the most interesting and easy one. For example for me the most easiest would be teaching aptitude I might start from there or if I have the guts I can start with the most toughest one. For me it is research aptitude then I can start with the research. So it is up to you from which unit you would like to start but rather than thinking contemplating that from where should I start which is the best time when should I start studying should I start studying right now or should I wait for the exam date to come I would rather suggest you to start from this very moment from any of the ten units pick any unit as per your choice and start preparing how will you prepare I'm going to tell you next. Now let us suppose that you have started with research aptitude the next question would be how to study. Now before I answer that question let me tell you how not to study because if you know what not to do you will eventually automatically figure out what to do. So the first and foremost thing which you must not do when studying any unit is leisure reading. I have seen a lot of students taking a book in their hand and lying down on bed and they start flipping the pages and reading it one by one. Have you ever wondered that after one hour of reading like this will you be able to answer any one question which I asked from those pages you have read. I am pretty sure that you will not be able to answer because you are reading like a novel. We don't read a novel for the sake of learning it we read it for the sake of entertainment you are not reading research aptitude for the sake of entertainment you are reading it because you have to crack an exam. So make sure you don't indulge yourself in leisure reading neither you should indulge yourself in excessive highlighting. I have seen a lot of students who would either read on the bed without any pen or highlighter in hand and at the same time I have seen students who are going to read on table and are going to highlight each and every line of the book and at the end they will end up highlighting the entire book. Will that make any sense? No. So don't indulge into excessive highlighting. The third thing which you should never do is that whenever you start reading don't read or prepare from random things. Like you have 10 books in hand and you are reading something from somewhere send then something from somewhere or you are reading from watching some random videos and trying to figure out the way to do something. That is only end up confusing you. So make sure you stick to one thing. You stick to one book. You stick to one course or you stick to one YouTube channel. Don't randomly accumulate so much data that it becomes really difficult for you to absorb each and everything. So make sure you have a streamlined plan. I might like three colors. I might like red. I might like beige. I might like brown. I cannot use all the three colors in my room. I cannot paint one wall as red, one as beige and one as brown. No. I have to stick to any one color only then the room is going to look beautiful. In the similar fashion stick to any one course, any one mentor or any one book and only study from that book. It is very important. Don't try to use the books or use the notes of the friend who might say that he was able to understand from that particular notes or don't go by what other people are saying. You have to finalize your own strategy by trying in testing what works for you. Now that you have understood how not to study, it is time to understand how to study. And in order to tell you how to study, I am going to tell you a formula, a time tested formula that will work for each of these units. So what is this formula all about? Let me tell you friends that everything in life works on formula. And if you know the formula, you apply it well, then success is all yours. Be it telephone, be it gravity, be it any electronic gadget that you have in hand, everything works on a formula. And you just need to master this formula in order to master that device. So if you want to master any of the 10 units of paper one, then you must know the learning formula. My mentor told me way back and since then I have been a gold medallist, I have cracked net in one attempt and it was all because of this formula that I always apply whenever I sit down to study and learn. So let us look at this formula and let us try to decode how you can use it in your practical life to understand and memorize each and every topic of these 10 units of UGC net paper one. The learning formula consists of four components. Understand, learn, repeat and practice. Now what is understand? Understand simply means to understand. So if you have to remember anything, you must understand it first. Let us say that you are learning research aptitudes, topic variables. Now you need to first understand what is variable and why do we study variable in research? What is the use of variables in research? This is the understanding component. Only after understanding you will be able to learn it. Once you have understood what is variable, then you will be able to learn the different types of variable and you need to learn the definitions because that is what is going to be asked in net exam. So you must know what is confounding variable, what is independent variable. Understanding is not enough. You have understood, but if you do not remember and come to MCQ, then you should not write like this. You should remember exact terms. You know what is confounding variable. But if you do not remember the name of confounding variable and the definition comes, so you might wonder which was the confounding variable. So there is when learning is going to help you. So the first step is understanding. Once you have understood a concept, then you have to learn it. Learn means to memorize it. Read it. Remember that when you close the book, you will be able to recall it. And the third step in the process is repeat. Revision is the key. You have remembered once that it is not going to stain your memory. You must repeat it at least once or twice. Read the portion once again every week. Just check whether it is still there in your memory or not. You might learn and understand, but if you don't revise, it's not going to stain your memory. And the last component is practice. Once you have learned the theory, you've understood the theory, you have to test whether you will be able to mark the MCQs correctly or not. It's just like I've read a book on swimming, but if I don't jump into the water and swim, will I be able to see whether I know swimming or not? If I want to call myself a swimmer, I must know how to swim in the water. I cannot read 10 books and call myself a swimmer. Just like that, practice is the key. Whatever theory you have remembered, you practice it. You have read 10 pages from the book. But if any question comes out of those 10 pages, you will be able to solve it. To test this, practice is important. So if you go step by step and use these four components effectively, I can tell you in advance that each and every concept that you study is going to stain your brain and you will be able to attempt the questions correctly if you go by this method. So the first step is understand. Second is to learn. Third is to repeat. And finally, we have practice. So make sure you don't skip any component of this formula because if this formula is applied as it is, only then it is going to give you the best results.
