📈 REET 2026 Preparation Strategy:

1️⃣ Understand the Syllabus and Exam Pattern

Before starting your preparation, it’s crucial to know what to study and how the exam is structured.

• Go through the official REET 2026 syllabus carefully for Level 1 (Classes 1–5) and Level 2 (Classes 6–8).
• Identify common subjects: Child Development & Pedagogy (CDP), Language I & II.
• Separate the syllabus into high-priority, medium-priority, and low-priority topics.
• Understanding the exam pattern (number of questions, marks, and duration) will help you plan your time efficiently during preparation and in the exam.

Tip: Focus on topics that appear frequently in previous years’ papers for maximum scoring.

2️⃣ Focus on Key Subjects: CDP, Languages, and Mathematics/Science/SST

Targeting high-weightage subjects is the key to score well.

• Child Development & Pedagogy (CDP):
  • Study theories of learning and teaching methods.
  • Understand child psychology and inclusive education concepts.
  • Focus on classroom application questions.
• Languages (Hindi & English):
  • Practice grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary daily.
  • Write short notes for quick revision.
  • Read passages and practice error spotting for accuracy.
• Mathematics / Science / Social Studies:
  • Clear concepts, especially in basic arithmetic, geometry, and environment-related topics.
  • Use NCERT books for conceptual clarity.
  • Focus on pedagogical questions related to teaching these subjects.

Tip: Strengthening these core subjects can make up 60–70% of your total score.

3️⃣ Practice Previous Year Papers and Mock Tests

Practice is the bridge between knowledge and success.

• Solve at least 5–10 previous years’ REET papers to understand exam trends.
• Attempt topic-wise mock tests first, then full-length mock tests to simulate exam conditions.
• Analyze mistakes and revise weak areas immediately.
• Mock tests also help in time management and exam temperament.

Tip: Keep track of scores and gradually increase the difficulty level of mock tests.

4️⃣ Revision and Time Management

Revision is as important as learning new concepts.

• Create short notes for formulas, CDP theories, and grammar rules.
• Schedule daily and weekly revisions in your timetable.
• Divide time effectively between all subjects, giving extra hours to weak areas.
• Avoid last-minute cramming; consistent revision ensures better retention.
