Prepare using previous year AP ICET question papers

Candidates must resort to the AP ICET previous year's question papers. These can give them an idea about the questions that are asked in the exam, along with their difficulty level. Preparing with AP ICET exam question papers is suggested by both experts and toppers.

Learn to manage time wisely

As the AP ICET syllabus includes three sections with each having sub-sections, the candidates should wisely divide the time for all three sections and should invest extra time on the areas in which they are weak.

The candidates should make sure that they cover all the topics without skipping any. And on the day of the examination, candidates should primarily decide about time allocation for each section according to their convenience and implement their strategy accordingly on the exam day.

Revise rigorously

Candidates are advised to revise the AP ICET topics already prepared. While revising, candidates are suggested to make short notes. By doing constant revision, candidates can perform better on the exam day without struggling much. Thus, revision is one of the significant elements in the AP ICET 2021 preparation recommended by previous toppers and experts.
