Now that you have seen the video, here are some of the important points which you can consider while preparing for the upcoming GATE Exam 2022:

1. It's important to develop an interest in your studies - if a student is going through GATE Engineering Mathematics or general aptitude but if he/she is not interested in that particular subject, then it will be difficult to retain the concepts. Hence it’s important to first build interest.
2. The next step is to train your brain - This can be done by: staying focused on what you study, maintaining a proper study routine, avoiding distractions from social media platforms and keeping yourself motivated during exam preparations.
3. Cultivate a reading habit - Memorizing something that you have never read before is difficult. Hence you must read all the topics and chapters with full concentration. Make sure you are reading the concepts not just for the sake of completing the GATE exam syllabus but also for understanding the topic well.
4. Analyze the most important topics in the GATE Exam - Students can easily find this out by going through the GATE previous year question paper. It will not only provide them the outlook of the exact gate exam pattern but also the difficulty level of the exam.
5. Making short notes and highlighting important concepts - You will be able to quickly solve questions and find shortcuts to a problem if you have prepared a good set of notes made for the topics asked in GATE. You could also highlight important concepts for easy revision. It is difficult for students to go through the complete GATE books and hence preparing notes come in handy.
6. Try to create images in your mind for the content you are reading - It will help you remember the concept better than just reading. This is another useful strategy for the students as it's generally easier for your brain to store the pictures of important concepts as long-term memory.

7. Practice problems or solve GATE questions - It is needless to say that it is impossible to get a good gate rank without practising problems. The most common way to handle this is to attend or to take up the GATE Test series. Attempting the GATE mock test will not only reward you with proficiency for solving the main exam but will also help you to understand the important aspects of paper solving like paper pattern, time management, question patterns in the exam etc.

Whenever you plan to study, always try to understand and read the concepts first. To overcome the lack of memory retention you should pay attention to all the tips mentioned above and follow them. It might take some time to get used to the tips but making notes, analyzing GATE exam patterns, syllabus, solving question papers will always help you in the long term.
