Admit Card 101 – Print, Verify & Laminate

Checklist upon download (Jul 16)

1. Login with registration number & password/DOB.
2. Print 2–3 copies on good-grade paper—consider laminating one.
3. Verify crucial info: name, DOB, center, shift, QR code.
4. Get attested by District Programme Officer—mandatory!
5. Photos inside? Keep two unused passport-size photos (same as on admit card).

“An unsigned admit card will not be considered valid, and such candidates will not be allowed to appear”

Travel & Reporting Strategy

1. Scout travel route one day before your exam. Use Google Maps and public transport insights to calculate time, factoring in Bihar’s monsoon traffic.
2. Arrive 60 mins ahead—paper verification, biometric, seating.
3. Dress smartly: comfortable, modest clothing. Avoid metal accessories that might slow down security checks.

Micro-anecdote:
“Ravi missed his shift in 2023 because his bike got punctured 15 mins before. He ended up waiting another 6 months…”

CBT Format – Navigate the Pattern

From official syllabus:

• 150 MCQs, 2.5 hours total—no negative marking
• Section breakdown:
  • Language – 30 Q (30 min)
  • General Studies – 40 Q (40 min)
  • Subject‑specific – 80 Q (75 min)

Insight:
Start with weaker sections when your mind is fresh—often Language. Subject section can be more mentally taxing.

Mock Test Play & Last-Minute Prep

Using Testbook & other quality sources:

• Full-length mocks (150 Q) under timed conditions
  • Review after: note recurring mistakes and time sinks.
• Focus on current affairs, especially Bihar-specific, through 30-min daily revision.
• Avoid cramming new concepts; reinforce existing confidence.

Tip: Use mock analytics to track time/errors. Drill high-error topics in last 3 days.

Exam-Day Kit Essentials

Keep this in a transparent pouch:

Mindset Prep – Calm, Clear, Ready

• Sleep 7–8 hours each night before exam days.
• Light activity—10 min walks or yoga to boost blood flow.
• Pre-shift breathing: inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4—repeat 3 times.
• Build certainty with self-talk: “I know this—I’ve done the work.”

Example:
“When I walked into the 2024 mock on a rough morning, that breathing technique helped me settle in and finish confidently.”

Hall Entry Ritual – What to Expect

• Entry Sequence: Admit card check → ID check → biometric scan → seat allotment.
• No gadgets allowed—keep phone off, leave books, watches, wallets, etc.
• Ask early: If unclear about any rule, flag it calmly before test starts.
