                                                                    General science: Unit 09

                                                                      General science: Unit 10


                                                                      Solar system

                                                                        Class 6

                                                                        The following JNV Selection Test for class 6th preparation tips can help you prepare in a more organised manner and clear the JNVST 2025 with ease:

                                                                        1. Since most of the questions asked in JNVST Class 6th 2025 will be from the Mental Ability Test (MAT), candidates are advised to prepare well for the MAT section. Preparing for the JNVST MAT section doesn't require memorising facts. It is one of the highest-scoring sections in the JNVST exam 2025. There are several mental ability tests available online, and candidates can take them to enhance their analytical ability and understanding.

                                                                        2. The Arithmetic Test (AT) tests the student's basic knowledge of arithmetic. Students must go through the JNVST 2024-25 syllabus for class VI for this section. They need to ensure that they cover all topics given in the syllabus. Candidates can make notes of formulas they prepare and come across to revise later. Preparing notes will make the student revision more effective. 

                                                                        3. The language tests a student's grammar and writing skills. Besides, there will be three passages from which questions will be asked. Students should read more relevant books to enhance their reading skills and go through the best books for grammar and composition. For example, English Grammar and Composition by Wren & Martin. To analyze what they have already learned, candidates can take language tests available online.

                                                                        4. Candidates can practice the JNVST 2025 sample papers and the previous year's question papers. They can revise all they have learned to the current academic standard which will help them build on whatever they have already learned. In case of any difficulty regarding any topic, candidates can get in touch with their teachers.

                                                                        Class 9

                                                                        JNVST 2025 exam for Class 9 comprises questions from Mathematics, General Science, English and Hindi. Candidates can follow the below preparation tips to get good scores in the JNVST 2025 entrance test admission:

                                                                        • Tip 1-  Make short notes of important concepts and formulas- Creating handwritten notes will help candidates understand the concept better. It also helps in remembering the formulas. 
                                                                        • Tip 2- Follow the Right and Relevant Books- Students should cover the entire JNVST 2025 syllabus from NCERT Class 8 books. They can take the help of reference books and model papers to prepare efficiently 
                                                                        • Tip 3- Revision is the key to success. Hence, students must revise all that they have learned for the JNVST exam 2025.
                                                                        • Tip 4- Download and solve the JNVST question papers and sample papers. The JNVST 2025 sample papers are available online free of cost. Solving the last year's papers will help the students understand the difficulty level of the exam and they can prepare well.
                                                                        • Tip 5- Pay attention to topics such as rational numbers, squares and squares roots, cubes and cube roots and exponents and powers to prepare for Maths.
                                                                        • Tip 6- The other important section for JNVST 2025 is General Science. This section carries 35 marks. Students should focus more on living/ non-living, cell structure and function, Solar System, Light, Sound, and reproduction topics. 
                                                                        • Tip 7- For English, students are advised to do a lot of reading and also get the English grammar concepts clear. The questions will be asked from unseen passages, word and sentence structure, spelling and jumbled word sections. Students are advised to follow English grammar and comprehension by Wren and Martin. The book will be of great help to students as it covers all the English grammar and comprehension topics. The same applies to the Hindi language section. 

                                                                        Class 6

                                                                        NVS will release the JNVST admit card 2025 for class 6 in March. Students will be able to download the JNVST hall ticket from the official website of NVS.
