MAT Toppers

MAT Topper Name	MAT Topper Tips
Ayush Saxena	"The only advice I will give is to focus on the goal and performance on the exam day is the crucial thing."
Shubham Kanwar Rajawat	"I started preparing around two months before the exam. My strategy was to practice more and more for concept clarification and maximising attempts with accuracy."
Abhishek Jha	"MAT aspirants should focus on quality practice rather than quantity practice. It is more about how much they learn per study session. "
V Varun	"I believe sincerity is the most important trait for cracking any exam. I would advise aspirants to stay focused through their prep period and to never give up on their goal."
Shubham Khule	"Practice as many mock tests as possible. Try to avoid mistakes in subsequent mocks. Constant practice and perseverance are the keys to succeeding at these tests."
Jay Sonar	"Practice on harder exams, then MAT will not be difficult. Of course, take mocks (NMAT, SNAP, MAH-CET) as the practice is the most important part of the preparation for speed-based exams or any exam really."
Vidhan Agrawal	"Finding a solution to a question is just the first step, one should not settle for anything less than the quickest possible way to solve that problem."
Sumit Bhattacharyya	"The mock tests make you exam ready. It most importantly makes you habituated to the time constraint. It gives you clarity on the types of questions you will probably face and the difficulty level you need to adjust to."
