Types of Questions
IIT JEE has lengthier questions that often require in-depth analysis while BITSAT has shorter but trickier questions. For the latter, you should focus on questions that are more concept-based.
Formulas and equations should be on your fingertips as 70% BITSAt questions are formula based. Questions that require calculation are easier in BITSAT such as calculating wavelength of electron jumping from one shell to other, or time a ball will take to come back when tossed in the air.
For some questions you can solve by putting options(a,b,c,d), it will save your time.
Bonus Questions:
BITSAT is the only examination amongst all its contemporaries which provides its candidates with bonus questions. Along with the sum total of 150 questions, it allows students to attempt an extra 12 questions but this comes with a catch. Once you opt for bonus questions, you have to submit your answers to the original 150 questions and you can’t revert back to review those answers. As risky as this may sound, many students attempt the bonus questions to score the extra edge. It is wiser to check the 150 answers before opting for the bonus questions as once you land on the bonus questions, there is no going back to those 150 questions you answered.
NCERT books should be enough for BITSAT.
Exam Syllabus
JEE syllabus includes more chapters than BITSAT syllabus (which is limited to important topics). Hence, go through BITSAT syllabus carefully and stick to it around May when BITSAT 2016 will take place.

Time Management Strategy
In BITSAT, you get 3 hours to solve the entire paper which includes Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning sections. The last two sections are unique to BITSAT.
Since English and Logical Reasoning but do not require calculation, you should devote only 30-45 minutes to these sections.Chemistry again requires little calculation and you should not devote more than 30 minutes on it.
Mathematics is the most time-consuming section and you will need at least 1 hour to solve it.
You should be left with 40-60 minutes to solve your Physics section.All the questions hold same weightage in BITSAT exam. Hence, go for shorter questions first.How to ace English?
BITSAT is the online engineering entrance exam in India that tests your English too. It has 15 English questions that are based on easy English grammar rules. Arihant and MTG books offer you good leads.
Practice Online
Opting for online test series is a vital step to gain an edge in BITSAT exam preparation. BITSAT 2016 is exclusively an online test and if you are used to pen-and-paper exams, you might find it challenging to crack it.
