Student Journey of G-NAT: Krishty Sarkar

One fine evening, Krishty’s mother delightedly told her about her G-NAT result and that she is the topper of the exam for class 10. Krishty Sarkar from Tripura is the class 10 topper of G-NAT conducted in September 2021. She wishes to pursue medicine in future and believes that preparing and attempting the G-NAT has been a helpful step in that direction. Krishty likes reading novels and writing her thoughts down sometimes. She also loves playing guitar.

How did you prepare for G-NAT?
I prepared for G-NAT majorly from my school classes and textbooks. I studied carefully in school to understand complex concepts and studied by myself the chapters which weren’t covered in school till then. Though I began my preparations around 20 days prior to the test, I dedicated my last week to practising question papers which put me in the habit of attempting tests in a timely manner.

What was your daily routine like while preparing for G-NAT?
I tried giving two hours daily to G-NAT preparation after school. During the last week of preparation, I dedicated more time to revising and practising certain concepts.

How was your experience of appearing for G-NAT?
I believe the G-NAT was a complete package of a mix of moderate, easy and difficult questions- more than 50% of questions were of moderate level. I think a student who scores well in this test will have thorough knowledge of the concepts covered. Overall, it was a fruitful experience.

What skills have been enhanced after appearing for GNAT?
G-NAT has definitely given me clarity about certain concepts. I realized that almost all the subjects were adequately covered while framing the G-NAT question paper. It has not only made me stronger in certain subjects but also made me more prepared and informed with respect to my understanding of some concepts.

Krishty’s story as a student tells us that studying diligently in school with the right amount of self-study can help prepare for any difficult exam. For all students reading this article, it is a lesson to focus on understanding the concepts in depth.
