CUET UG Preparation – Domain Subjects, General Test & Time Split for Board Students

What Makes CUET Different

CUET (Common University Entrance Test) for undergraduate admissions tests subject understanding plus general aptitude in many programmes. Unlike a single-board percentage race, you must optimize section selection, accuracy, and speed across papers you actually need for your target universities.

Step 1: Lock Your University and Subject List

Download official brochures and note mandatory domain subjects, language papers, and whether the General Test is required. Preparing for subjects you will not attempt wastes weeks—finalize this list before buying books.

Domain Subjects

Stick closely to NCERT for science and social science domains; CUET MCQs often stay concept-centric. After each chapter, solve 20–30 objective questions and mark doubts for weekend review. For mathematics, maintain formula sheets but prioritize application problems over theory rereading.

General Test: English and Quantitative Skills

Reading comprehension, vocabulary in context, and basic arithmetic/data interpretation appear often. Practice 30–40 minutes daily on passages and DI sets; avoid only doing vocabulary lists without timed reading.

Balancing Board Exams and CUET

Use board preparation as base content for domains; add CUET-specific MCQ practice on weekends and increase frequency after pre-boards. Sleep and nutrition are part of strategy—burnout before boards hurts both scores.

Conclusion

Mock tests that mirror CUET section timing matter as much as content. Use FreeTestHub aptitude and reasoning practice modules to sharpen speed, and track wrong answers in a simple spreadsheet to spot weak chapters early.
