As the BITSAT exam is of a 3-hour duration, candidates need to devise a preparation strategy that allows them to complete all the sections in the given timeframe. Also, they need to ensure not to waste time on low-scoring sections such as English Proficiency and Logical Reasoning. Start with high scoring subject/section – Mathematics and then move ahead to Physics or Chemistry. Since every right answer has a weightage of 3 marks, these three subjects have a cumulative weightage of 300. Any score above 290 is considered decent; however, you must not restrict yourself to these three subjects.
Even if you manage to answer all the questions from these three subjects that won’t guarantee a top rank. A BITSAT score of 330+ can increase the chances of your admission to your favourite college and branch. However, given the soaring number of candidates every year, the cut-off marks keep rising. So, to maximise your chances, you have to attempt and ace all the sections/subjects and try to score 360+ so that you become eligible and most likely to bag top branches, such as Computer Science, Electronics & Communication, and Electrical & Electronics.
