Tomorrow is my first CUET exam and I’m a bit nervous about my centre 😭

Has anyone here got the same exam centre as me or given CUET there previously?

I wanted to ask a few things:

- Are bags allowed / is there any bag keeping facility?

- Can we bring a transparent water bottle?

- Do we need to carry our own pen?

- How was the technical setup there?

- Were biometrics/fingerprint checks smooth?

- Anything important I should know beforehand?

Would really appreciate any tips or experiences from people who’ve been there already.

Btw if any one has any tips for maths,plss share 🥲

Does anyone else procrastinate by trying to “prepare perfectly” before studying?

I have a major exam in 8 days and I’ve known about it for a month, but instead of actually studying properly, I keep doing everything around studying.

I’ll make schedules, research study methods, create backup plans, reorganize routines, remake timetables, plan how to avoid distractions, plan what to do if the first plan fails, etc.

My brain somehow convinces me that because I’m “preparing to study,” I’m still being productive. But at the end of the day I’ve barely done the actual work.

The worst part is that I genuinely WANT to study and do well. I care too much about doing things perfectly, so I keep waiting for the “perfect system” or the “perfect start,” and it never comes.

Then the guilt hits, and the next day the cycle repeats again.

I’m honestly exhausted by this pattern and I wanted to ask:

Have any of you dealt with something similar?

And if yes, how did you actually break out of it?

I’d really appreciate real advice from students who’ve experienced this themselves.

TLDR; I am a perfectionist who does everything but study,which then leads to major procrastination, HELP!!!
