Tackling MATH

There are going to be two different levels of maths you will need to study depending upon the course that you choose. For instance if you choose to pursue a career in design and appear for nid or nift then you will need to focus on basic math and that's pretty much it. But if you are going to be appearing for architecture entrance like aieee b. arch for instance then you will need to focus your energies on higher math as well.

For basic math here's what you need to do

Firstly anything and everything from elementary math can be and will be tested so if you threw paperballs at your teachers in the sixth or the seventh grade it's all going to come back to haunt you.

There's going to be a bunch of topics you will need to focus on for instance :

1.     Number Systems

2.     HCF and LCM

3.     Percentage

4.     Profit and Loss

5.     Averages

6.     Time, Speed and Distance

7.     Simple and Compound interest

8.     Time and Work

9.     Ratio and Proportion

Master these and it's our guarantee that you will score a full in your basic math.

The question now arises as to how should one master this.

The answer is equally simple.

• Refer to the NCERT textbooks of the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade.
• Buy RS Aggarwal's Quantitative Aptitude. It's one of the best books in the market and it has extensive examples and questions with solutions. Once you have done the relevant topics from this book no question in the world can be tricky or difficult. The volume of questions that this book offers are enormous.  It's easily available at any good book store and it costs around Rs 440 and you can also buy it from any on-line store.

• Apart from this work on VEDIC MATH concepts. There are various on-line uploads of vedic maths shortcuts. Vedic Maths will help you in long calculations and will help cut the time needed in making long calculations. Apart from this there are various books also available in the market.
