How can One Prepare for two Competitive Exams at the same time?
We have taken the example of top engineering and medical entrance exam of the country. This includes JEE Main for engineering and NEET UG for Medicine.
So let’s understand about how can we prepare for both at the same time:
Gain a detailed idea about both the exams
You must foremost gain an idea about the exams, what the exams are and its syllabus in. This will help you to get an understanding of what are the similarities between both the exams. This includes the topics which are in the syllabus and what are the subjects which are the same for both the examination.
Divide your timetable
The next step is to take efforts in dividing your timing effectively. Try to incorporate sufficient time for topics which you find difficult and on the other hand, try to devote an equal amount of time for topics you are good at. This will help to maintain a proper balance and thereby complete your entire syllabus in time.
Try to cover the topics that are similar for both the exams. Physics and Chemistry are two subjects that are common between Engineering and Medicine. Hence completing it beforehand, is well and good.
Reassess your strategies
What worked before, is not necessarily going to work every time. The very crux of success is constant change in strategies, looking at it closely and making the changes.
Keep separate days for finishing different topics
Allocate separate days for different topics and examinations. Solve previous year question papers of both the exams separately. You can go on to prepare for them alternate days to make it easy for you to understand it.
Lastly, look out for topics which are common to both exams, finish them first and then move to those which are not covered in each.
