🎯 RRB NTPC Exam Preparation Tips (CBT-1 & CBT-2)
1. Syllabus aur Exam Pattern ko Samjhein
Aadhaar (Foundation): Sabse pehle, CBT-1 aur CBT-2 dono ke syllabus (jo aapne pehle maanga tha) aur exam pattern (topics, questions, time duration) ko achhe se padhein.
Priority Set Karen: Dekhen ki General Awareness (50 sawal CBT-2 mein), General Intelligence & Reasoning, aur Maths mein kiska weightage zyada hai, aur us hisaab se samay baantein.
2. Time Management aur Speed (CBT-1 Focus)
Time Constraint: CBT-1 mein 80 questions ke liye sirf 90 minutes hain. Iska matlab hai ki aapko har sawal ke liye 1 minute se bhi kam samay milega.
Practice with Timer: Mock Test hamesha timer laga kar hi dein. Isse aapki speed aur accuracy badhegi.
Skip Karna Seekhein: Agar koi sawal 30-45 seconds se zyada samay le raha hai, toh use turant skip karke aage badhein aur ant mein wapas aayen.
3. Subject-Wise Preparation Tips
| Subject | Preparation Strategy |
| Mathematics | Practice is Key. Apne fundamental (aankre, formula, concepts) ko mazboot karen. Zyada dhyaan Mensuration, Algebra, Time & Work/Distance, aur Interest par dein, kyunki yeh scoring hote hain. |
| General Intelligence & Reasoning | Yeh scoring section hai. Analogies, Syllogism, Coding-Decoding, aur Puzzles ki khoob practice karein. Ismein galti ki gunjaish sabse kam rakhein. |
| General Awareness (GA) | Current Affairs: Pichhle 6 se 8 mahine ke National aur International Current Events par dhyaan den. Static GK: History, Geography, Indian Polity, aur General Science (especially 9th aur 10th class ki NCERT books se) ko cover karein. |
4. Revision aur Mock Tests
Mock Tests: Pariksha se pehle kam se kam 15-20 full-length mock tests dein. Isse aapko pata chalega ki aap kis section mein kamzor hain aur kahan aapko samay kam karna hai.
Analysis: Mock Test dene ke baad, uske results ko analyze zaroor karein. Jo sawal galat hue hain ya jismein zyada samay laga hai, un topic ko dobara padhein.
Short Notes: Har subject ke liye formula sheet aur important facts (GA ke liye) ke short notes bana lein, jo exam se pehle jaldi se revise kiye ja saken.
5. Typing Test ki Taiyari (Typing Posts ke liye)
Agar aapne Junior Clerk ya Accounts Clerk jaise Typing Skill Test vaale posts ke liye apply kiya hai, toh CBT-2 ke baad aapko typing ki taiyari shuru karni padegi.
Abhi se Shuru Karen: Har din 15-20 minute English aur Hindi dono mein typing practice karen, taaki CBT-2 ke baad zyada bojh na ho. English: 30 WPM, Hindi: 25 WPM speed chahiye.
Best of luck! Aap lagataar mehnat aur sahi strategy se zaroor safalta pa sakte hain.
