How You can Prepare Online for Exams Like JEE and BITSAT

The current pandemic outbreak of COVID-19, that has spread all over the globe and has also affected India very severely as well. Everyone is feeling stressed and the only question that always keeps popping in their mind – When will all this end?

Due to the outbreak of this deadly virus, there have been a lot of consequences. The economy has been affected; people have lost their jobs; they are facing a lot of financial issues. Apart from this, students preparing for competitive examinations have suffered in no small extent.

The country’s biggest exams like JEE Main and JEE Advanced have been postponed twice already. The new dates announced for JEE Main and JEE Advanced 2020 are 1st to 6th September and 27th September, respectively. Exams like BITSAT 2020, NTSE and KVPY have also been postponed for the same reason.

When things were normal, students could easily go to schools or coaching centres and study as usual. But with schools and coaching centres being shut for almost four months now, students are going through a really tough time. They are unable to concentrate or devote the right amount of time on their studies. There could be two possible reasons behind this – one is the constant rescheduling of the exams, and the second could be the lack of consistent preparation.

However, keeping in mind the best interest of students and their preparation don’t suffer the way it’s suffering, an online learning and assessment portal called myPAT has come up with a way out of this. They are known for providing online courses and helping students learn digitally. To leverage the same, myPAT is offering a free 14-day trial for any of its courses.

What is myPAT’s free 14-day trial?

Under the myPAT 14-day trial period, students can opt for the course of their choice, as per their targeted exam. They can attempt 3-hour full tests and 20-minute concept level tests to check their exam readiness. myPAT believes in providing concept clarity to students, that can be a huge factor in helping students crack competitive exams like JEE, BITSAT, KVPY & NTSE.

Once a student takes a test on myPAT, they will receive a personalized test analysis of their test attempt. This analysis helps the student in identifying their weak areas, strong topics, their lost opportunities, comparison with topper & average scorers, and much more. Here are a few benefits that students can avail with their myPAT course:

  • Comparative Analysis (comparison with topper and average scorers)
  • SWOT Analysis (identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats)
  • Behavioural Insights (ace and lazy attempts in tests)
  • Test Difficulty (subject-wise difficulty level of the test)
  • Time Strategy (overall speed, time taken and time wasted)
  • Solutions (all solutions to the questions of the test)
  • Attempt Summary (attempt rate and accuracy rate of your test)

With features like the above and more, myPAT can play a vital role in the students’ preparation and help them become exam-ready in such difficult times. The questions of the tests are specially curated by Industry experts to ensure that you are 100% ready for your upcoming examinations. Here’s how:

  • Build exam readiness with tests conducted as per the same exam pattern and on the real exam screen
  • Build exam temperament to give the best performance in the real test keeping in mind current preparation level
  • Identify and understand your weak points with in-depth and personalised test performance analytics
  • Use SWOT analysis to formulate a revision strategy to eliminate threats and turn opportunities into strengths
  • Be better than the best, compare your performance against both the best and average scorers

With so much uncertainty over the near future and the upcoming exams, students mustn’t lose their focus on the most important goal of their lives. The performance in these competitive exams can make or break it for them, and despite whatever’s going on, they should keep the faith and show confidence in their abilities to come out of these gloomy times with flying colours.

To help them gain this confidence, this 14-day trial period version of myPAT can be the perfect boost for them to know where they stand and what they need to do in the remaining time left to crack the exams. Students can visit www.mypat.in, click on the ‘Sign Up’ option, register themselves and start practising right away. This time is crucial, and the preparation must not stop at any cost.
