Being a national level competitive exam, not only the level of competition is high in CTET, candidates often fail to crack the exam in one go.

If you are looking for preparation tips and tricks for CTET Paper-2 then there is no need to look further. Read this article to know how to prepare for the exam strategically and score higher marks.

Now that one knows about how the question paper is framed, start your preparations by referring to the simple preparation tips provided below.

  • First of all, you are advised to prepare a plan for the preparation. Start the preparation according to that schedule. Analyze your progress from time to time by solving mock tests.
  • Equal weightage of marks has been given to Child Development and Pedagogy, Language I, and Language – II. Thus, maximum marks can be obtained if one can only increase the number of good attempts in these three compulsory subjects.
  • Among individual subjects, the most weightage is given to Mathematics & Science or Social Studies/Social Sciences. The candidates can appear for either of the subjects as per their preference. However, for preparations, ensure that you study these on a daily basis. Focus on the subject pedagogy topics in these subjects.
  • For Child Development and Pedagogy, it is important to learn about Inclusive education and understanding children with special needs.
  • For Language, I and Language II, the proficiency of Language is checked in this subject. So try to improve your proficiency by referring to nonacademic reading sources as well. Prepare the unseen passages related to prose and drama.
  • Learn all the formulas and small tricks to solve the questions asked in the Mathematics subject to save time spent in lengthy calculations.
  • Refer to the syllabus of class VI to VIII for Social Studies/Social Sciences. All the questions are based on the standards of class VI to VIII as per NCERT.
  • Solve as many previous year question papers to increase the chances of getting repeated questions.
