The two things that set BITSAT apart from other engineering entrance exam are the English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning sections in the BITSAT syllabus. To learn how to crack BITSAT, you must be able to crack these two sections which most students, even top rankers, overlook and ignore. While Physics, Chemistry and Math are the major part of the paper, you cannot ignore these two sections as any loss of marks will cost you thousands of ranks! Devote time to preparing for these two sections as well.

Remember 3 very important things as you prepare for this exam:

Learn important chapters and concepts

Get important chapters down to a T. These are crucial topics that occur relentlessly for the past 5-10 years. Also, learn important concepts and understand them thoroughly before thinking of simply mugging them up.

Practice previous years papers

Solve BITSAT previous years papers in order to crack this exam and get used to the exam pattern.

Solve mock tests

Solving online mock tests will help you practice your time management and develop your exam taking skills.

Above all, remember that this may be a tougher exam than most but it is beatable and you can beat it!
