Plan study

• The initial stage to crack NATA exam. Clear your
  easy and light topic chapters. You can allot few
  hours to few days to complete. There are alot of
  topics that cant be dealt with easily and
  sometimes you underestimates your own ability,
  thats why more time is required.
• Therefore it is really very necessary to have a
  balanced view of your ability, knowledge and
  understanding of difficulty level of the exam,
  and how much time will it take to cover the
  entire syllabus.
• Do not make rigid plan. Make it flexible, so you
  can make necessary changes according to the time
  and situations.

familiar with the exam pattern

• The Council of Architecture has made some changes
  to the exam pattern of NATA in 2019.
• Part A which comprises Mathematics and Aptitude
  subjects will now be of 60 minutes duration,
  whereas Part B will be of 120 minutes. So, you
  will have more time to answer questions in the
  drawing test.

7
Choose book wisely

• Before picking a book, consider to ask your
  mentors. They will help you. Your book language
  should be easy, and not diluting ideas, concept.
  Rather, it should explain the matters, topics in
  details.

Optimize time

• Be smart. Do not practice topics that carry
  little or no weightage. Devote less time for less
  important topics, and skip the irrelevant
  content. Do not solve same problems over and
  again. Save time to solve specific set of
  problems.

9
Revisions

• Make provision of weightage topic revisions in
  your study plan. Make notes while you study, this
  will help you to revise the topics in the last
  few days.

10
Drawing Skills Creative Skills

• Architecture, probably more than any engineering
  discipline, requires you to have an imaginative
  bent of mind. Drawing test is designed to test
  the candidate on a number of parameters like
  drawing, imagination, and observation skills. Go
  through previous years question papers, figure
  out what kind of imaginative prowess is expected
  of you.

11
taking mock tests 

• Take mock tests which will help you to get ready
  for the final NATA exams. These tests give
  exam-like environment. It will help you to
  understand the exam pattern, questions and their
  solutions, and your ability. The more you take
  mock tests, the more confidence you boost.
• You can take sample questions papers and previous
  years' NATA question papers as a practice
  material for mock tests.
