KCET exam is now round the corner and the students should have completed their KCE syllabus by now. The KCET exam will be held from 15th to 17th April as an offline test across various KCET exam centres. At this stage, applicants must be wondering how to enhance their KCET preparation. In this article we have curated some last minute KCET preparation tips and charted out a 15 day preparation plan to make the most out of your KCET preparation.
With little time left for the KCET exam left, it is advised to solve KCET previous year question papers and KCET mock tests which will help you get an insight about your preparation including your strong and weak points. Know more on how to prepare for the KCET exam in just 15 days.
KCET Preparation Tips - Where and How to begin?
With less than a month left for the KCET exam, the KCET preparation must now be divided in two simple parts - Revising the syllabus and solving as many question papers as possible. Now having understood the two basic elements, let us dive straight into the KCET preparation plan for the last 15 days.
Revise the syllabus thoroughly
The first step here is to go through whatever you have studied till now, and revise the syllabus thoroughly. Get a complete insight of what you know and what you still do not understand or are finding difficult to learn or understand. At this point, it is advised that if you do not know a particular topic, just leave it. Revise what you already know and focus on the stronger areas.
Do not start anything new
With limited time left in the KCET 2025 exam, candidates should not be starting a new chapter or a new topics. Starting with a new chapter or topic at this time will lead to confusion and will increase your stress levels as well. So it is advised to refrain from starting anything new.
Know the exam pattern well
Another important tip here is to know the KCET exam pattern by heart. You should be aware of the number of questions asked in each section and subject and the topics covered in these subjects. Knowing the KCET exam pattern and KCT syllabus is they key to performing well in the 2025 KCET examination. For reference, check the KCET exam pattern below.

Prepare flashcards/short notes while revising
An important tip during this time of KCET 2025 preparation is to start preparing flashcards and short notes of the topics that you are revising. For mathematics, regularly revise the formulas till the last day, for Physics, regularly revise the theorems and laws, and for Chemistry, revise the formulas and structures on a regular day-to-day basis. Reading and revising from flashcards will be more effective in the long run as it has more retention power than usual.
Solve KCET mock tests and sample papers
KCET mock tests are a replication of the actual exam. Set your timer to the exam duration and then start solving the KCET mocks or sample papers. The mock test should be attempted in a quiet environment and alone. Think of it as the actual exam. Once the mock paper has been solved, verify your answers and see how you have performed. This will help you get an idea on your exam position. You should also solve as many KCET sample papers as possible to understand the questions. Always be calm while solving the tests.
Attempt KCET previous year question papers
The best way to prepare for the exam is to solve the KCET previous year question papers. This will give you a clear idea on where you stand in your preparation, and how much more do you need to accomplish your best score. We have curated the last 12 years KCET question papers for you to solve. The papers can be downloaded free of cost on our website and are available in PDF format.
