How to prepare notes for each subject during the GATE preparations

For preparation maintain two notes.

1. One notes have only formulas of almost all subjects and any shortcuts to remember them. And very very important points to remember.
2. Second notes contain some key points which you have to remember other than what you have written in the first book.

Making formulas book ready as early as possible is very essential. You may spend 2 days and write all the formulas first if you still don’t that book. Daily revising this book is of most importance. You will potentially lose 40 marks just because you are not thorough with the formulas. So revise it daily. By heart them. If you can’t learn them quickly read more. By hook or crook learn them.

Next coming to key points book, while revising jot down quickly some points which are essential in that chapter. Which you feel like if you remember this point, you can remember all. As you finish the subjects which you have revised try to finish this book. Also do revise this book at least once in a week.

Your formula book and key points book should comprise of:

1. Formulas
2. Key points
3. Units and standard values
4. Important theory
5. Bits which could be asked in exam
6. Some approaches you follow to solve problems
7. Tips you followed for problems
8. Points which you have made mistakes
9. Some solved problems which are very difficult and very tricky
10. Some solved problems which could easily explain formulas
11. Some derivations which are required
12. Basics of formula derivation
13. Assumptions and data which you need to remember
14. Shortcuts you have learned
15. Any other data you think relevant for revising before GATE.
