How to crack GATE

If you prepare smartly, cracking GATE is no big deal. Solve as much questionpapers as you can. Study portions based on previous question papers. Thisworked brilliantly for me. Most questions in GATE are very basic. Your understanding of the concepts iswhat they test. I started preparation right after i applied for the exam. Started solving oldquestion papers. The first 2 paper took me two whole months. By the time they

were finished, most of the portions were covered. the next set of papers wentquickly. I have collected most material from the internet in the blog, and it willsave you some time. Keep a note of all formulae and conversions. You don'thave to be a math wizard, just have to know basic math. Try searching fortopics on youtube, videos are a quick way to learnThey will mostly ask pritzker prize winning architects. So go through thepritzker prize website. Also go through the tall buildings. Those are somethings missed out in the blog. You can use some elimination techniques with caution for answers you knowpartly. Do not attempt answers you do not know at all if there is negativemarking. Numerical entry questions do not have negative marking, so try toattempt them all (do conform if rules are changed)for eg Q.43 Match the features in Group I with their architectural periods in GroupIIGroup I Group IIP. Caryatids 1. RomanQ. Hypocaust 2. GothicR. Pylons 3. GreekS. Lofty Pinnacles 4. Egyptian 5. Romanesque(A) P1, Q5, R4, S2 (B) P5, Q1, R3, S2(C) P3, Q2, R5, S4 (D) P3, Q1, R4, S2

I knew that pylons are egyptian, there are 2 options with R4, a and d. I was not sure if caryatids are greek P3 or roman P4..., option a has p3 andoption d has p4usually correct matches appear in more than one option, you can see p3repeats here, so i went with option d, and it turned out to be correct.

Good Luck
