Best Way To Prepare For NTSE

Exam related tips for NTSE Stage-1:

Dont panic a day before the test. Better, dont do anything on that day. Relax. (I know saying this is easy, but doing this is tough but let me just hope that at least a fraction of my readers follow this).
Start from the section in which you are the strongest. Youll automatically have more time for your weak points.
Eat light before the exam, but please do have something nutritious and filling.
Dont discuss anything with your friends in the break between the two tests (MAT and SAT). Take a walk within the exam center or have a light snack instead.

NTSE Examination Pattern

The pattern of written examination for Class X will be as follows:
