How to clear ETEA with ease?

Answer 1

While I have never taken a ETEA test, the test preparation can't be any different from any other entrance test or standardized assessments. So I will attempt to give you some general tips that could be helpful.
The ETEA test is a challenging one and every year many students are unable to qualify it just because of lack of guidance. First of all go to the shop and buy a model book of MCQs named 'ETEA' and make yourself informed about the format of the test. The format of the test is that there are total 200 MCQs. 60 for Physics, 60 for Chemistry, 30 for Botany, 30 for Zoology and 20 for general English. Each MCQ carry 4 marks. For one wrong a deduction of 1 mark and zero for not attempting any MCQs.

As far as a 40 day time table goes:
You need to spend 30% or 12 days each on Physics and Chemistry. You also need to spend about 15% or 6 days each on Botany and Zoology. Finally about 10% or 4 days on English. This is based on the number of questions you will get from each topic.
Now using these numbers you can create a table that better suits your day. Remember though to give yourself a good nights rest everyday and eat well during the study days.

Here are few tips that could be helpful:
Don't be afraid of negative marking.
Practice MCQs for the sake of practice not for the sake of learning.
Don't be confused that after your first quick go you attempted less no of mcqs.
Don't listen to your friends in these days. Try to completely isolate yourself.
Go for the choice which comes first into your mind. Don't go for second one.
First go through each and every question and attempt the easy ones first. Leave the difficult ones or which are to be solved.
Read the question and options very carefully.
When the test will be given to you start with the name of Allah.
Read your books as much as you can because most of the MCQs are from the book. Take this point very seriously.
Try to understand topics of sciences in first year and second year.
Don't study before two days of the test. Try to relax yourself in these two days. If any thing is left just leave that. Don't take tension about it.
Don't leave any question.
You will know only 40 percent of MCQs which will be hundred percent confirm to you rest of them will you solve through educated guesses.
If you will go through only 100 percent confirm question you will be failed to qualify. Try to go through the question which you are 50 percent confirm.
Don't be defensive in attempting questions.
Don't go for academies or short cuts because there are no short cuts for it.
Don't panic if you don't know. Just try it through educated guesses.
On the day of test don't be panic to see the crowd there. All of them are not there to qualify it. Only 30 percent will pass the test.
In the second go try to attempt all of them. Do educated guesses on all of them.
Don't practice too much MCQs. Only practice ETEA and Pretest because MCQs which come in the test are of the pattern of these books.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
