NET Syllabus is King: Almost 85% of UGC NET examination questions are from the content of UGC NET syllabus. You should always spend your time in reading the contents related to the syllabus to have a cutting edge.

NET Old Question Papers are Valuable: The old questions are hardly repeated exactly in the same format. However they are periodically repeated by molding the question. The good thing is that though question is different, the answer remain the same. So, if you go through the answer of the old questions and prepare a note, it will be very much worthwhile.

 Be focused: You need to focus more on your opted subject papers as there will be two papers based on the same. The syllabus for each subject is huge and hence you should start with important topics first followed by the least important topics.

 Study Systematically and Selectively: Make sure you are very systematic in your approach as it will help you to finish your topic as per the time table you had created. You can start with selecting a topic and then decide on the number of days and hours required to complete it. Since only one month is left for the examination, it is advisable that you do selective study starting with important topics followed by knowing the basic of least important ones (if you have time).

 Give mock Tests: Manage your time well as it will help you in solving answers in the time allotted in the examination hall. Hence solve as many practice papers and previous year question papers as you can keeping in mind the time limit. Mock papers will help you determine difficult areas that need revision and help you increase speed in solving the paper.
