One of the common mistakes most aspirants make is not choosing the right books. Choosing the right books can help you to understand the concepts better and also help you to score more marks in the exam.

Many students make the mistake of choosing the wrong books while preparing for their exams. This is because they either choose books that are too difficult to understand or they choose books that are not relevant to the syllabus. As a result, they not only waste their time but also lose out on marks in the exam.

So, it is important that you choose the right books while preparing for your exam. RNA's books cover all necessary topics in proper way. 

Not every student has a clear understanding of the concepts for various subjects. So the best method would be to start your NDA preparation with NCERT books and get a clear idea of the concepts. Once you have a good hold on the fundamentals you are ready for the next level books and practicing sample papers and tests provided by RNA.

2. Not Understanding The Syllabus

Understanding the syllabus is a core of your NDA preparation. It is important to read and understand the syllabus thoroughly before starting your preparation. 

Many students make the mistake of assuming that they know everything that is required and do not bother to read the syllabus. This can lead to them not being fully prepared for the exam and not being able to score their desired marks. 

Collect the Syllabus from the official site and take a print out and stick it to your study desk to ensure that you are following the syllabus all the time.

3. Not Doing Enough Practice Tests

Skipping practice tests or not doing them at all is another major problem amongst beginner aspirants. This is because, without practice, you will not be able to get a feel for the exam and will not be able to pace yourself properly. Additionally, you will not be able to identify your weaknesses and work on them. As a result, you are likely to perform below your potential on the exam day.

That is why hera at RNA we provide aspirants with weekly test based on NDA exam pattern with weekly report given to parents and personal guidance to each and every student based on their results.

4. A Study Schedule is Missing

Your preparation is wayward if you lack a study schedule, it gives you a clear idea about how you are going to utilize the hours and the days. Make a good study schedule that is realistic and achievable. It should take into account your other commitments and allow for some downtime. It should be flexible so that you can make adjustments as needed.

A good study schedule will help you make the most of your study time and improve your chances of success in the NDA exam.

RNA's academic classes and aspirant's daily routine is scheduled in such a way that aspirant get proper time for self study and rest after academic classes.

5. Dropping A Year After 12th

Students often tend to drop out a year after the 12th which is not advisable at all. Some of the reasons why students drop a year are as follows:

They are not prepared to take the exam

Their syllabus doesn’t match with the NDA’s syllabus and they are not confident to attempt

Instead of dropping a year after the 12th one should prepare for the exam. Science students have an advantage in subjects like mathematics, chemistry, and physics whereas arts students do well in History, Geography, social studies, English, and current affairs. So brush up on your fundamentals and start doing the practice sets. 

6. Not Taking Revision Seriously

Practice makes anything perfect. Not taking revision seriously can have disastrous consequences when it comes to any exam. Students who do not revise properly often find themselves struggling to remember key information and make last-minute mistakes that can cost them vital marks.

It is essential that students dedicate enough time to revision in order to give themselves the best possible chance of success. Those who do not take revision seriously are risking their future and their chances of getting success in the NDA exam.

7. Not Knowing The Right Format To Study

Students may feel like they are not studying effectively if they are not following a specific format. However, there is no one right way to study. Everyone learns differently and what works for one student may not work for another. The key is to find a study method that works for you and stick with it. If you are having trouble finding a method that works, try experimenting with different techniques until you find one that suits your learning style.
