Smart Preparation Strategy for AP DSC 2026
- Start with your post's pages only. The PDF runs 315 pages. Use the index to print or bookmark just your post and subject.
- Content is the scoring core. For SA it is 40 of 80 marks; for PET it is 70 of 100. Revise AP SCERT textbooks from Class VI to Intermediate (SA) or Class III to VIII (SGT).
- Don't skip methodology. 20 marks for SA and SGT come from teaching methods – questions often test NCF-2005, RTE-2009, SCF-2011 and classroom practice.
- Cover common topics once, well. Perspectives in Education and Educational Psychology repeat across posts. TET preparation overlaps strongly here.
- Follow current affairs daily. Up to 15 marks (for Principals) come from G.K. – focus on Andhra Pradesh schemes, national education policies and recent events.
- Practise on a computer. The exam is a CBT, so take timed online mock tests to build speed and comfort with the screen.
- Special Education aspirants: put most of your time on the disability specialisation section (20–30 marks).
