Even though success only comes with sheer hard work, sincerity and practice, one can always look up for expert advice and pearls of wisdom from previous years’ toppers for that extra boost of motivation. Having a goal and a role model to keep one fired up is always a good idea.
Given below are some GPAT 2020 preparation tips which will help candidates crack the exam with ease:
Candidates must focus on getting their basic concepts clear. If the foundation is not strong enough, all that gets piled-up is bound to break down. Only after the basics are clearly understood, students can grasp more difficult topics.
Candidates should ensure that they spare some time to practice numerical questions every day. Topics like alligation method, depression in freezing point, dose on the basis of body weight and age, and biopharmaceutics are commonly assessed in the form of numericals. The formulae should also be remembered by heart.
Topics like NMR spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, IR and UV have been frequently covered in the previous years’ question papers. Candidates should put greater emphasis on these while preparing for GPAT 2020.
Making short notes and flashcards will prove helpful in the last few days before the exam. Shortage of time will make them unable to go through lengthy written matters about each topic so, in such a situation, flashcards will come in handy. Pharmacognosy can be understood in detail with short notes and flashcards on uses, mechanisms and unique side effects of various drugs.
If a candidate starts his/ her GPAT 2020 preparation late, he/ she should concentrate on Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Pharm Analysis, Pharmacognosy, and Pharmaceutical chemistry (especially Organic chemistry) first and then move on to other subjects.
