 How to prepare for the DHA exam?

 Before you prepare for any competitive exam it is extremely important to know the amount of time you have in your hands. If you are aware of the number of days you have for the exam, you can prepare accordingly.

There are both computer based as well as oral assessment for passing the DHA exam. The preparation for both the exams will be different. Before you start studying make sure you know the right syllabus and the current patterns of the DHA exam.

Try practicing previous year’s question papers and as many mock tests as you can to get an idea about how the exam would be. Along with tests, focus on various study materials and guides that will improve your knowledge on the various subjects. 

After studying and completing your revision, attempt a mock exam with the given time limit and see if you can score good marks. But studying on your own need not be helpful all the time so reach out to us as we provide the best DHA coaching in Kerala.
