When you practice questions from past year question papers, you tend to get a fair idea of the kind of questions that may be asked, tricks involved, topic-wise marks distribution, etc. This helps you build confidence and helps you strategize to divide your time efficiently and enhance your performance.
Though many feel that this is a waste of time, given that no question is ever repeated but what one conveniently ignores that every year the pattern of the question paper remains almost the same. When you practice questions that are based on concepts that you have studied earlier, you test your ability to apply, innovate and solve problems. This builds the required confidence in you which further helps in DU JAT.
The questions that you solve from the past year's papers may not directly get repeated but may have slight changes in data, or have the direct application of the same concepts in a similar way. When you go through the past year’s question papers for DU JAT, you will be able to figure out the important topics and how you must revise them. This will save time in the long run and keep you focused.
Solving DU JAT papers from the previous years will provide the candidates with an idea about the pattern of questions asked in the examination and also help them improve their time-management skills.
