I have started writing this article to help GATE aspirants in getting a good rank. This article is written specially for ordinary students, since I was also a ordinary student and could get 54 rank in GATE Computer Science 2012. For me A.I.R. 54 and IISc were just beyond dreams, still I could make that happen.
In my view, to get a good rank in competition, your strategy is more important than your hard work and if you can work on both it becomes your smart work. This smart work is the key to your success.
Hard Work + Good Strategy = Smart Work
Every person has his own strategy to prepare for the competition and this strategy becomes the differentiator.
In next few blog posts, I will be writing about the strategy used by me while preparing for GATE-2012.

Revising theory and practicing questions have equal importance. Follow the cone approach to revise.
