GATE Test 2018

Do Not Forget Your Super Strategies



The countdown is on. There is less than two weeks to go until the GATE test. For many of you, this will mark your arrival at an important destination. And it will also signal a time for you to show how gifted and talented you are.



But when you sit down and take the test, one piece of advice: do not forget the super strategies that you have learnt. By this I mean, do not overlook those strategies that your tutors have demonstrated and practiced with you week-in-and-week-out at Intuition.



If you choose to write a narrative for communicating your ideas in writing, remember to give your readers an orientation, a problem and a resolution and use at least two literary devices!



In reading comprehension, remember to read between the lines and not take everything at face value.



In quantitative and abstract reasoning, do not forget to evaluate, reason and recognise patterns.



And finally, remember to mark all your answer booklet.



Eat healthy. Sleep well. Take some time out to relax. The GATE test is fast approaching.



But on test day, do not forget the super strategies that you have learnt and practiced at Intuition, and resist the temptation to fall back on old ways.
