Step 2: Consistent Practice and Revision (Weeks 7-12)

Motivation and Consistency

Systematically approach your CUET preparation journey and continue it with patience. If you maintain consistency, four months is enough to make you CUET-ready. Always set small targets and constantly try to achieve them. This will fill you with enough confidence and boost your motivation. Don't hesitate to discuss any difficulty or confusion with your teachers (school/tuition) or friends. An open discussion will help you gain closure to your confusion.

If you follow this detailed strategy, you can easily prepare well for CUET 2025!
