 HOW TO PREPARE ENGLISH MODULE FOR NDA EXAM

Paper 2 is a General Ability Test. It spans 2.5 hours or 150 minutes and it consists of 150 questions and is worth a total of 600 marks. The General Ability Test is divided into 2 parts namely the English section and General Knowledge (GK).

·         The English section of the GAT (General Ability Test) carries a maximum of 200 marks and typically consists of 50 questions worth 4 marks each. There is a negative marking in this section. 1/3rd of the marks assigned (1.33 marks) to the question will be deducted for every wrong answer.

·         Candidates are expected to score a minimum of 25% in each subject in the written exam and clear the overall cutoff (cutoff can be anywhere between 340 and 352 based on previous year cutoffs) to qualify for the SSB interview. However, this doesn’t guarantee a place on the merit list so, maximizing your scores in each subject and an overall score is very important.

·         Here’s a breakdown of the topic-wise weightage of questions asked in the English section of the GAT paper

Vocabulary based questions (Antonyms - 5 ques, Synonyms - 5 ques and Idioms & Phrases/one-word substitution - 5 ques) - 15 questions of easy to moderate difficulty

Spot the errors - 5 hard questions
Cloze comprehension - 5 moderate level questions
Reading comprehension - 10 easy to moderate level questions
Fill in the blanks - 10 questions of easy to moderate difficulty
Para jumble/ordering the sentences - 5 questions of moderate difficulty

2. Based on the topic wise weightage and exam trend over the last few years, identify and capitalize on the subjects/topics (that carry a high weightage or high scoring subjects) that you are strong in. In case you are weak in areas that carry very little weightage then you can either cover it at the very end or skip it (only if you are sure of qualifying for the next level) in case you are short on time.

3. Eat the live frog first! There is no point in spending time-solving problems and revising concepts from topics that you are already good at. Spend more time and resources on your weaknesses (especially on the ones that carry a lot of weightage). Ensure conceptual clarity (don’t try to memorize formulas rather try to understand them) and PRACTISE, PRACTISE & PRACTISE… till you are sure that you’ll never go wrong on that topic. It helps to solve questions from previous year question papers after learning concepts from each topic. This will boost your confidence.

4. Be thorough with the frequently asked or most repeated vocabulary based questions. A few of the commonly asked antonyms are as follows:

Adhere, Amalgamate, Aloof, Emancipate, Adulteration, Eminent, Amplify, Exasperate, Autonomous, Dishelve, Dwindle, Aptitude, Complacency, Erratic, Bland, Bane, Boycott, Chaste, Cognizance, Cynical, Boisterous, Enmity, Astute, Equanimity, Feasible, Ambiguous, Differentiate, Devoid, Eschew

A few of the commonly asked synonyms are as follows:

Dull, Angry, Anger, Calm, Eager, Fear, Moody, Love, Dark, Crooked, Scared, Disfavor, Pleased, Perilous, etc

5. Be wary of the marking scheme - While it is important to capitalize on high scoring topics, you needn’t go overboard and attempt every question. There is a negative marking so you may end up losing marks unnecessarily.

6. Attempt the easy questions first and save the difficult or time-consuming questions for the very end. Make educated guesses only when you are able to narrow the answer to one of two choices.
