AP TET to DSC: Mock Test Guide

Essential instructions and precautions for your success.

I. Mock Test Instructions (Online Exam Simulation)

This guide prepares you for the online Computer-Based Test (CBT) environment. Treating mock tests seriously is crucial for acclimatizing to the actual examination setting.

1. Timing Management

• Strictly adhere to the time limit for each section and the overall paper. The on-screen timer is your primary guide.
• Practice allocating time based on the difficulty of the subject matter (e.g., time for Pedagogy vs. General Knowledge).

2. Navigation and Review

• Familiarize yourself with the "Mark for Review" feature. Use it for questions you are unsure of but plan to revisit if time permits.
• Ensure you use the "Save & Next" button to confirm your answers and proceed. Simply viewing a question does not save your response.

3. Understanding the Pattern

• Verify the total number of questions and the marking scheme, including any details about negative marking, before starting the mock test.
• Pay close attention to multi-part questions or questions that require selecting multiple correct options.

II. Precautionary Steps for the Real Exam

Preparation isn't just about knowledge; it's about minimizing risk on the exam day. Follow these steps meticulously.

1. Technical Check

• Arrive at the examination center well ahead of the scheduled time. This accounts for traffic and security checks.
• Before the exam starts, quickly verify that your monitor, mouse, and keyboard are fully functional. Report any issues immediately to the invigilator.

2. Documentation and Protocol

• Carry all required documents: Admit Card/Hall Ticket, a valid Photo ID proof (original), and passport-size photographs as specified.
• Read the on-screen general instructions carefully during the allotted time before the exam begins. Do not rush this step.

3. Personal Discipline

• Avoid unnecessary discussion with other candidates. Maintain focus and concentration throughout the session.
• Do not engage in any unfair practices; the system is monitored, and any violation will lead to immediate disqualification.
