If you understand the exam pattern and follow a few tips to score high in MAH CET 2016, you can very well crack the test with high marks.
The very first thing according to Prof S K Agarwal, Verbal Ability expert and mentor on MAH CET 2016 preparation, is to become fearless and attempt as many questions as you can since there is no negative marking in MAH CET 2016.
But the important factor to keep in mind while attempting the MAH CET 2016 exam is that you have to keep a balance among all the sections. You may lose on other sections at the cost of your favourite one, if you continue to solve only from one section. Please note that all the sections are important and have to be solved within the given time frame of 150 minutes. In case you do not qualify on sectional scores, you may not be a favourite candidate in PI round.
Too much guess work resulting in more incorrect answers may not help you qualify all the sections. The consequences are reflected in the final admission round as those who marked lesser number of wrong answers are rated better.
Make guesses judiciously and avoid too many guesses in the hope that it could be a correct answer.
