Every year, there are thousands of students who participate in several Competitive Exams. Mathematics is considered to be one of the toughest parts for exams like JEE, NEET, and other relevant examination. A large number of students are afraid of Mathematics and it is a very common myth that once cannot score well in this subject. But this is not true. With hard work and dedication, one can crack any exam. Roughly around half of the question paper is made up of the quantitative section. It may include questions ranging from Algebra to Geometry and a lot more.
No examination is complete without involving a major portion of this section. Therefore, whether you like the subject or not, one cannot ignore Mathematics if you are appearing for a competitive exam.

Competitive exams are a test of time management for every candidate. Therefore, as a candidate, you should invest some time in every topic rather than focusing on only one.

Try managing your time in such a manner that the easy topics are covered faster and you can emphasize more on the topics that score high.
Work smartly
Rather than working hard, apply smart work. The smart work is needed by applying shortcut tricks. Prefer applying the hit and trial methods wherever possible as some questions can be solved eliminating the options.
Practice daily
It is rightly said that “Practice makes a man perfect”. If you practice an area regularly then there are fewer chances of making a mistake. However, it is must to practice regularly in order to avoid mistakes during the examination.

I’m not weak in mathematics why I scored less marks in maths in akash NEST exam was due to improper time management. I had practice to solve 30 maths questions in 2.5 to 3 hours as per class 10th cbse syllabus. But i have learnt from this exam that i will have to practice more and more questions in minimum time to succeed more in such competitive exams.
