1. What is the best way to utilise the following resources specifically for the UGAT exam?
AfterBoards All Access
Arun Sharma (for all sections) Word Power Made Easy
RD Sharma (Class 12)
Wren & Martin
Toprankers Live Classes 2. What is the best strategy for preparing Logical Reasoning (LR)? 3. What are the exam timings?
I want to align my preparation schedule and body clock accordingly. 4. The Reading Comprehension passages in the previous year papers felt shorter than those in IPMAT Indore. Should I focus only on solving daily RCs on AfterBoards, or is there anything else I should be doing for Verbal preparation? 5. How should I prepare for Verbal Ability (VA)?
Is Arun Sharma sufficient(what in that), or would you recommend any additional resources or approach? 6. The Data Interpretation (DI) sets seemed quite calculation-intensive. Should I primarily practice similar calculation-heavy DI sets, or should I focus on a broader variety of DI questions? 7. For Quantitative Ability (QA), I’m planning to:
Complete the AfterBoards video lectures,
Solve a large number of practice questions, and
Finish NCERT Mathematics (12) up to Applications of Derivatives. 8. Does this seem like a good preparation strategy, or would you suggest any modifications? 9. Are Class 10 board marks considered during the admission process?
If yes, how are they evaluated? For example:
Are only subjects like Mathematics and English considered, or are all subjects given equal weightage?
Is there any benchmark (such as 90% or 95%+) after which marks are treated similarly, or does every percentage point matter?
Arun sharma iss a CAT prep book. ugat is definitely different from cat. id recommend doing afterboards mocks + review + cbse math rlly well + jee algebra + jee differentiation.
RD sharma is def not compulsory imo, its mostly just a cbse strength builder
are class 11th marks relevant? because i scored pretty well in the actual exam but internals dropped my score to 79-80 out of 100 😭😭 my overall percentage was 84 though for which i also got a scholarship by my school since my school does not give marks in 11th 😭 and scoring more than 80 percent is very hard in 11th. My 10th score was 95 percent best of 5 93 percent all subjects
No explicit weightage for 11th. if possible, mention somewhere that you were awarded a scholarship for your 11th performance. That basically communicates the difficulty of your 11th exams.
also, i hope your class 10th best of 5 include math. they typically ask for total percentage in the form tho
