 Hello friends, my name is Arpita Karwa and welcome back to my channel. Today I am going to solve a very crucial problem faced by a lot of UGC net aspirants. A lot of housewives or working professionals think that they wouldn't be able to clear UGC net because they don't have time. But that is definitely not the case. If you ask me that Arpita, is it possible to cover the syllabus if I can only devote 2 or 3 hours every day, I would say yes. Sometimes people give up because they feel that in their head it is not possible to cover the syllabus in such a limited time. But today in this video we are going to burst this myth. If you have only 2 hours, if you can just spare 2 hours, I promise you that you can clear UGC net in flying colors no matter which subject you opt for. I am going to give you 5 Ram Band tips that will ease your life and help you sail through your exam by just studying 2 hours every day. Also there is a big bonus tip waiting for UGC net English aspirants at the end of the video. So don't miss out on that. But before I start, please subscribe to the channel because I am going to put many videos in the same series where I am going to talk about how you can prepare for UGC net exam. What topics you should be covering if you are facing a time crunch and a lot of exam tips and tricks that will help you stand out. Friends, the first tip is to study in a distraction-free environment. When you are studying your phone should not be in the site. Tell the people around you to not disturb you at any cost. You have to set a no disturbance zone for yourself because UGC net is a very very important exam and if you are not focused, if you are distracted then there is a high chance that you will not be able to retain whatever you are studying. Now a lot of you would say that Alpata we have so many disturbances happening at our place that we cannot go to a place where there is no disturbance. I would suggest you to either find a study library around your house or study at the night time from 11pm to 1am when all the people of your life are fast asleep. This brings us to point number 2. It is consistency. Make sure that you are dedicating 2 hours every day because this will build your habit and give you the required confidence. No matter what happens be it a friends party or a dinner or a function at home, you have to study every day. There might be cases where you will be swamped with office workload or something else might be happening in your life. But remember that you have to clear your exam and you only have 2 hours every day to make your dream come true. Also if you miss studying for just one day it will break your flow and you might get anxious that how am I going to cover this lost time. Hence consistency is extremely important. Remember back in childhood we all read how turtle won the race despite rabbit being the faster one. It was because the turtle constantly kept moving while the rabbit got distracted and he slept. Hence slow and steady wins the race and similarly you have to be very consistent with studying 2 hours every day. Friends while I was preparing for my UGC net exam I used to carry a mistake notebook and that is my tip number 3. In that mistake notebook I used to write every wrong answer that I gave in the mocks and every fact that I forgot repeatedly during my revision sessions. And I used to look at that notebook every day and you know what happened? My common wrong answers became right because I was revising those every day and I was updating my notebook every day. In fact toppers of all stream be it UPSC, CA, NEET, JEE swear by this technique they all have a mistake notebook. So complete a unit, give the mock test of that unit and then write the questions that you fumbled on in the mistake notebook. If you are looking forward for test series that can help you provide unit wise questions then you can check out our website www.arpetakarwa.com We have complete UGC net mock test series both for paper 1 and paper 2. You get to see unit wise mock test series as well as full length mock test series in the courses. So attempt these mock test, see your mistakes, jot them down, revise them constantly and your preparation will be top notch. Friends now let's jump to the next tip. I have seen a lot of students. They have 2 hours to study every day but they would waste these 2 hours in watching videos of different YouTubers who talk about new strategies. Even I make a lot of strategy videos on my channel. But what happens is that when you watch these videos every day this breaks your flow and you are back to square one. You do not have to make this mistake. Guys stick to a single game plan. What I suggest to my students is that watch a couple of videos in the beginning of your preparation before you even start your preparation. Watch a couple of strategy videos. Analyze these videos, add your own inputs to it and finally make your own personalised strategy plan. And then just stick to it till the exam. Do not get distracted by multiple strategies available online or a strategy that your friend might have recommended you on a Sunday branch. Only change your strategy if you cannot see results in your mock test. One more thing friends that you must must remember that is irrespective of what strategy you pick. Ensure that you know 2 things before beginning the preparation. Your syllabus and the previous year papers. Syllabus of your exam will tell you what to study. Whereas the previous year papers will tell you how to study those topics. So ensure these 2 things are a part of your strategy plan and keep going. And we are finally on the last tip now. It is on making smart goals. Now what are smart goals? Smart here stands for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound goals. Set weekly and monthly targets for yourself. Without targets you are studying aimlessly. As it goes by failing to plan you are planning to fail. So don't make that mistake. Set targets and stick to them. I am not asking you to make daily targets because there are certain topics which might take more time than you have thought. So you will set daily targets and then you might get demotivated. So weekly and monthly targets are a good option. Secondly review your performance each month with respect to the targets you have set. Revise these targets if need be. We often tend to get demotivated when we are unable to achieve our targets. But rather than belittling yourself, praise yourself for achieving something if you have not achieved everything. If your target was to complete 5 chapters by the end of the month and you were just able to complete 3. Rather than being upset about the 2 incomplete chapters can we praise ourselves for completing 3 and by using this you will come out in flying colours. As promised it's time for the bonus tip. It's specially for the UGC net English literature students. The tip is that guys who are having shortage of time or who are facing time crunch please do not read the original text of novels, plays or poems prescribed in UGC net syllabus. You will only end up getting confused. Rather focus on summaries of these plays, poems and other texts. On my YouTube channel I post script summary videos for each work that is important from exam point of view. Alternatively you can also watch a video or go to websites that provide free summaries like cliff notes, park notes, lit charts and you will find summaries and analysis of each of these texts available on these sites for free. Remember your brain can only remember limited things. That's why summaries are very important. And don't forget to read the important facts. In our online course for UGC net English that we provide we provide not just the summaries but we also cover all the other important details that are important to be covered by UGC net English aspirants.
