 Welcome to my channel and welcome to get another video in the Paper One series. I know that all of you are really really worried about Paper One. Why so? I know that you all have studied paper to topic in your bachelor's and in your master's but Paper One is very new to you. There are people who are not so good with DI, mathematical reasoning, logical reasoning. There are people who are not so good with reading comprehension. People who have no awareness of people in environment. They are not so much connected with the general knowledge aspect. And all these people are really really troubled and they have lost all hopes. Because they think that since they are weak in these areas they can never qualify Paper One. And if they cannot qualify Paper One that means they cannot qualify UGC Net. In this video I am going to break that myth of yours and I am going to exactly tell you how by keeping these 10 tips in your mind you can score more than 70% marks in Paper One even after not being good in the areas I just mentioned. So yes guys there is a smart way to study for Paper One and with no preparation you can still manage to get 70% above marks in Paper One if you can just devote somewhere around 3 hours for the next 10 days. That's it. When I qualified my net I was so much into Paper Two that I hardly got 10 days to prepare for Paper One. And just in 10 days one day per unit I made my own notes, I read them thoroughly, I practiced previously a paper and I qualified Paper One with a very very good score. And I am going to give you all those tips which I had in my mind when I was preparing the mistakes I did and I am going to tell you exactly the pattern by which you can qualify Paper One. So if you are ready take a pen and paper, write down these important points and start your Paper One preparation with full confidence. If you have seen my video in which I have discussed the approximate cutoff that is going to be there this time in different subjects in UGC Net, I have mentioned very clearly that for all popular subjects the cutoff somewhere varies around 50 to 60% for net. Now let's take the upper limit that is 60%. So if you want to clear net your aim should be to get 60% in Paper One and 60% in Paper Two. Now the Paper Two strategy would be different. We are not going to talk about that in this video but my concern in this video is how you can get 60% in Paper One with least efforts. There is a very, very smart strategy. Now we all know that there are 10 units in Paper One and from each unit 5 questions are asked. Now there are 2 ways you can score 60%. Let's first calculate how many questions you need to answer correctly if you want to get 60% score in Paper One. Total number of questions in Paper One are 50. Now out of 50 questions if you score 30 questions correctly you can easily score beyond 60%. Now since we know 5 questions per unit are asked you have 2 ways to achieve the 60% score. The first method is by working on your strength areas. Everyone is good in some of the units of Paper One. Like I am good with teaching aptitude, communication, reading comprehension and research methodology. Maybe you are very good with practical knowledge then you must be very good with mathematical reasoning, logical reasoning, data interpretation. So everyone is good in 5 or 6 units out of 10. Nobody is bad in all the 10 units because these are very general things. You have studied it during your school days, during your college days also and chances are that you can answer them based on your common sense. So make a list of the strong areas. Now out of these 10 units if 6 units are strong then make sure that you attempt all questions of these 6 units and attempt them correctly. Make sure you get 5 on 5 for all the 6 units. That makes a very good score of 30. And in the units which you are not so good at or you are weak at you can just try to do the guesswork and then that can help you score additional 3 or 4 questions correctly. This is the first method. The second method is to look at the previous year paper and figure out commonly asked questions. So we all know that from previous year the concept repeats. Concepts are the same, questions are different. So if you can master some concepts of each of these units you can easily answer 3 questions correctly. Out of 5 questions from every unit they make sure that 2 to 3 questions are easy, 1 or 2 questions are difficult. You are not so good with any of these units and you can just master the average difficult questions. In these few days you can actually get 3 questions corrected out of 5. That means that if you total 3 into 10 is 30, 30 questions correctly in paper 1. So you see if you use any of these 2 strategies you can easily get 30 questions right. You don't need to get all the questions right. That is not going to help you anyway. If you can focus on getting 60% questions right and you can devote your energy in paper to preparation together you can actually qualify it. Another important tip that I would like to give you here is that please attempt all questions. You need to make sure that you attempt questions whether you know the answer or you don't know the answer because there is no negative marking. Why do you have to miss on marks that you can get on a good guesswork? So make sure you attempt all questions. Another important thing please keep in mind when you are giving your online paper 1 that please save your answer. I have seen a lot of students who made mistake in the previous net exam they answered the question but they did not save it. They just clicked on mark for review and when finally they clicked on save at the end of their exam they saw that their answers were not mentioned. Why? Because the computer did not find the correct answer marked. It was just mark for review. Mark for review. Don't leave it. Mark it and save it and mark it. So that the answer can be saved in the memory of the computer. Another important thing that you should remember while giving paper 1 that whenever you find a lengthy question on screen skip that question. For once first solve all the simple questions. Always keep the lengthy question for last. Understand that every question is equal to marks. Don't get attached to a question. If you can do 3 questions in 1 minute then why do you do 1 question in 1 minute? Try to do maximum questions in minimum time. Start the paper in this speed that in the first 30 minutes you should do all the questions that come to you very easily and also make sure that you give 10-10-10 minutes for these 3 sections. DI that is data interpretation, mathematical reasoning and logical reasoning. If you are doing their 5-5 questions then don't give more than 10 minutes per section. You can do 5 questions in 10 minutes easily. If you are wasting more time then skip it. Don't devote your time into solving a question and then losing time on not getting time to solve questions that come to you. Do the questions that don't come later at least do the ones that come first. There are a lot of students who make this mistake. First they do questions that don't come. Because of this one confidence falls. There is no time left in a class. And the questions that come also solve it wrongly just because there is no time. So don't make that mistake. First of all when you are solving the question paper then do easy-easy questions that don't come and keep them for later. And don't give more than 10 minutes in these 3 sections. If you want to prepare paper 1 in the last moment then please don't apply the traditional method. If you read books and think that I can remember it by reading 250 pages then that would not be possible. So we have to use a smart strategy. And what is that smart strategy? Make handy reference notes. These are the notes that I made on my paper 1 preparation time. And in less than 10 days preparation I qualified paper 1 as well as 2 and I got my net certificate. So let's see how I made these notes. If you look at these notes you will find that I have not given more than 250 pages. If I am looking at one topic alphabet series then I have listed all the possible mistakes that I am making and I have also listed a step-by-step method to solve this question. These mistakes are done by many students. They solve paper on preparation time. And they don't evaluate their mistakes. Until you don't evaluate your mistakes you will face the same mistake in the exam. So it's very important that you make a note of whatever mistakes you are making. Make sure you write down what mistakes you have made. If you look at my paper 1 copy you will find out that I have written pointers on the side where I am making mistakes. And where there are theoretical subject notes I have made handy notes. In one page I have written all the points which are relevant for that topic. I have not written paragraphs I have just worked with pointers. And I have prepared all these notes by looking at the previous year papers and the questions which have been asked. I have always told my students that questions don't repeat from previous year. But concepts do repeat from previous year. If you can catch that concept you can understand that concept. In this exam if a question is asked from the same concept you can easily do it. So make sure you make a smart strategy in order to prepare for paper 1. Also we are helping you with a video series in which I am giving you all the possible tips and tricks which can help you qualify at this time.
