Preparation Tips-

Be creative-

When preparing for exams like NID, the algorithms of preparation will change drastically. If you want to clear this exam, you need to have a creative mind. Technicality will not help. You need to come up with original ideas, and you have to think out of the box.

Be aware of the general knowledge-

You do not have to mug up all the G.K. books to keep yourself updated about your field. Read newspapers regularly. Try to increase your observation power and read magazines that genuinely fuel you with the passion for your domain.

Sketching and Drawing is essential-

Always practice with a light hand first and then later finalise it. That is how you will not waste your time in erasing and drawing. Don’t practice in A3 size sketchbooks. Go for A4 as it is the standard size of answer sheets in the final examinations.

Balance out your time-

You need to balance between school studies and NID preparation. Therefore, use your time effectively so that you excel in this exam without much difficulty.

Motivate yourself-

You need to find your purpose to clear this exam and keep yourself motivated. Give yourself time, and you will be amazed by your creative idea.
