Best Tips for CDS 1 2017 Exam Preparation

1. Delaying will delay your rank: CDSE is not an exam where you can study up overnight and give the exam the next day, to score fairly good marks. The syllabus for CDSE is vast, and that is why you need time to prepare for the same. SO do not procrastinate and delay to start your preparations, if there is any time right to start the preparations it’s now.
2. Know the syllabus first, candidates who are very good in general mathematics, English and GK, especially the freshers, never look and study the syllabus of CDS exam. Always study the syllabus of cds exam which will help you to understand what they might ask in cds exam paper. After you scan the whole cds exam syllabus, make sure you are filtering out topics where you do not need any preparation and you are 100% confident of clearing it, topics which you are not 100% confident are the one you want to prepare to clear CDS exam.

To have better understanding of these topics, refer to the cds exam questions blueprint.
