Preparation Strategy

Several people have requested me to formulate a strategy to qualify UGC NET as they've left their studies years before. But this post would help those also who want to adopt a new strategy after successive failures. Moreover in this post I've tried to integrate the various posts of the blog so that you may easily access them.

First and foremost it is essential to assess whether you would be willing to INVEST at least 2/3 hours daily or not. Then...

1. Start with the NCERT: It'll serve two purposes first you'd able to reassess your level of familiarity with the material and secondly it'd act as a catalyst in consolidating the remnants of Psychology which has decayed over a long period of time.

2. Refer either Morgan & King or Atkinson for General Psychology.

(If you are pursuing/ have completed Post Graduation from IGNOU then revise the IGNOU Notes, for they are without an iota of doubt quite good.)

3. Dissect the syllabus in the manner I had already dealt with. Go to the following link, either click here or paste the link provided in the bracket. (http://psychologyjrf.blogspot.in/2012/10/analysis-of-syllabus.html ).

4. Refer to the Book list I've compiled ( http://psychologyjrf.blogspot.in/2012/10/books.html). Thoroughly study them.

5. Practice solving MCQs.
Which book to refer? Go to the following Post of the Blog( http://psychologyjrf.blogspot.in/2012/10/books-for-multiple-choice-questions.html).

6. Solve questions asked during the last 4/5 years.

Finally the three R's of success:
First: Read;
Second: Revise; and
Third: Keep on revising.

If you've any suggestions feel free in updating the same in the comment box.
All the Best
