How to prepare

We are giving you a different approach to face LDC exam, this is after analyzing the recent exams conducted, we feel that almost 70% of exams the questions are coming from the secondary schools subjects and books, ie what we studied earlier and have in the edge of overlook.

So what we are recommending is collect the 10^th, 9th, 8^th standard books and guides and just read the one word questions from it, especially for subjects except English, Maths and hindi collect as much books and guides as possible. After you read it, it is easy to remember for you.

For mathematics also the academic subject knowledge is enough but to answer it speedy you should learn some tricks and tips for this you can buy some arithmetic aptitude text and learn the tips and tricks in the subjects learned in the schools. Please be sure to solve some questions as your own after studying each trick so that you will remember the trick otherwise you will forget it. The text by R.K agarwal is enough for mathematics.

For current affairs read news papers and read at least one of the yearbooks available. Give importance to Kerala related matters and other important world news and important Indian news. In case of kerala matters please give more importance.

For English, give importance to synonyms, antinomians, common mistakes etc for this you may need to buy some grammar book. Also give priority to the general knowledge and mathematics over English and regional language.

While travel keep a book so that you can study or approach at least 10 new questions when you otherwise listen an mp3 song. Keep this a hobby. 

also if you are accessible to internet do try some online websites which providing the questions. We will give a list of websites here itself after researching so stay tuned.

Always keep in mind ‘whether the exam is easy or tough, how much better you did compared to others is that what matters’ so use your time well.

Some tips when you attend the exam

·         First attempt the questions you know exactly and mark the questions which you want to look later otherwise there will be time waste while looking the questions to be answered.

·         It is not only about whether you know the exact answer you should also try to omit the wrong answer. (ie you can improve your chance by just looking at the answers and you may not be sure the exact answer but you may sure that some of the answers is exactly not so you can reduce the chance of fail and do it for a luck).
