Preparing CSAT with Non Mathematical Background

CSAT IAS 2011 has been introduced with new syllabus which includes coverage on numeracy and mathematics.
Here are some easy tips and tricks for non-mathetical background students to prepare for CSAT Examination:

• Start with the basic NCERT books for Class V to VIII
• Go through the basic concepts and understanding
• Keep your motivation level high
• Do not underestimate your potentials
• Try solving very basic questions at first to give it a start
• Now, slowly increase the level of difficulty and go for the basic concepts of NCERT class IX and X books
• Try to follow as many shortcuts as possible beacuse time is a major limiting factor in determining the number of questions you can solve
• Remember that CSAT is not about checking the mathematical abilities but the reasoning and logical power
• So there is always a logic behind a problem which can be solved with the basic concepts and formulas
• Learn the last moment cheat sheet for the formulas
• Display major formulas on a board in the room, so that you can get a chance to revise them off and on
• For learning formulas just go through the basic ones and learn them
• The complex formulas can always be derived from the easy formulas and therefore there is no need to bother about the difficulty level just by looking at the list of formulas
• Expressions like "Oh my God so many formulas", " Trigonometry is not my game", " I cannot solve probability questions" will all lower your self confidence & take you away from studying those topics
• Take maths as a challenge and not as a botheration
• Speak up your heart and say " I can do it", "I will do it", "If others can do it, why I cannot do it"
