5.0Common Mistakes to Avoid

As the date of the CUET 2025 approaches, it is important to make sure to avoid the following common mistakes most students make:

  1. Ignoring the Syllabus: You might waste your precious time on topics that are not part of the syllabus. Strictly adhere to the NCERT-based topics, and make sure you cover every concept of the syllabus.
  2. Skipping Diagrams and Illustrations: Biology usually involves detailed diagrams and labelling. One should make sure to study and practice diagrams since questions based on illustrations are very common in the CUET Biology exam.
  3. Overloading with Multiple Study Materials: It is very tempting to refer to multiple textbooks and guides but it's better to focus on a few trusted ones like NCERT textbooks, previous year papers, and mock tests.
  4. Time Management Issue: The CUET Biology exam will be conducted in a strict time frame of 60 minutes, so proper time management during preparation is as important as taking the test itself. Procrastination and cramming at the last minute will not work.
  5. Not Taking Breaks: Overworking leads to burnout, which can cause a lack of concentration in the exam hall. Take regular breaks to refresh your mind and avoid fatigue.
