You need to brush up on your basics of Class XII- Physics, Chemistry & Biology. Since there is a dedicated type of question related to the History of Sports/Acts/Laws(General Knowledge) & Sports intellect, it is recommended to stay updated with current developments in the sporting world.
4. Answer the questions you know first
When you are giving the exam, always make it a point to answer the question that you know at the beginning. This will save some crucial time and help you focus on the difficult questions afterwards.
5. Do not leave any questions unanswered
The biggest reason why we advise you to not leave any questions unanswered is that there is no negative marking. So even if your answer is wrong, you won’t lose the marks you’ve gained by answering the right ones.
6. Attend the mock exam and be better prepared
You can give one mock exam before appearing for the final SSAT exam. So be better prepared for it. Also, when you attend the mock exam, you will get an idea of what types of questions are asked and how much time it will take for you to clear the exam.
