The written portion of the National Defence Academy examination consists of two subjects: Maths and a general aptitude test. These are the subjects on which the questions are based.

Applicants should practise the sample papers after going over the syllabus to get a sense of how well prepared they are. This will also aid applicants in identifying their weak spots in the test that need to be improved.

Stay Healthy

Candidates should be calm, hydrated, and focused in order to reach their final goal in any test. Every applicant has his or her own manner of preparing for the test. Instead of copying other people’s strategies, applicants should come up with their own. Staying focused and driven until you achieve your objective is the key to clearing the test.

Conclusion

Applicants should begin their preparation with a clean slate, meaning they should discard any preconceived views they may have on the test. They should concentrate on the end objective and how to get there. Candidates should begin their study long ahead of the exam date to ensure that they cover all areas, including mathematics and the general ability test.

Every test requires time management, therefore applicants must understand how to maximise their efficiency within the allotted time. Different candidates handle their time in various ways, so it’s on you to figure out how to make the most of your time during the test.
