Answer laterhow important is NTSE? Can I crack it in 3 months efforts?
Hello Aspirant,
Hope you are doing great. Yes, you can, but solve the important sections and chapters first with good weights, then move on to the simpler problems from the books. An adequate amount of self-study is crucial for passing any exam. Of all the advice for becoming an NTSE scholar, it is one of the most fundamental and crucial. For at least 3 to 4 hours, one should dedicate to self-study in order to pass this difficult exam. Some students completely focus on preparation by starting it a 5 months before the exam, even though the majority of students continue their studies alongside their classes.
