Strategy to Ace NDA 1 2023 Mathematics Section
·Always practice Math problems. By practice we mean take a pen and paper and solve Math problems.
·Theorems and formulae are the most important features in Mathematics. To memorize them, write them three to four times.
·Solve as many Previous years papers as possible you can and that too in a time-bound manner. This will help you to manage your time during the exams.
·Always first complete basic concepts and then Practice a lot.
·Take NDA Mathematics Mock Tests without fail.
·Don’t forget to chill out and relax!
Other Than these topics some topics like logarithm (Independent, Binary Numbers, etc) contains less number of question or no questions.
