How to prepare for English CUET UG. [Only if you have a strong base]

How to prepare for English CUET UG. [Only if you have a strong base]

I won't beat around the bush and get straight to the point.

I had my English exam today and shared a sub about it, you can check it on my account. Since all you lovely munchkins were asking me where did I prepare from here's my tips:

  1. Rubaika Di's vocab vault.

You don't have to burn the midnight oil and watch all the videos since you would want to be up with the larks and gird your loins up for your next study sessions. I recommend watching some specific few or just the nichod one where she has shared all the vocab of the previous year question.

  1. If you have more than a week, even if it's eight days, ONLY IF please, PLEASE go through the S.P Bakshi General English book. Especially the one word substitution and syn/ant portion. You will notice it has most of the vocab asked previously.

  2. Make use of Gemini, do quiz there. Aks it to prepare difficult quiz on idioms and vocab. Do it every night before sleeping. Specifically prepare color and animal idioms.

  3. Mnemonics. Life save 💐

  4. Fetid: feet did stink. ( Stinky, faul, pungent, smelly)

  5. Terse: terse jyada nahi bola jata kya? (Laconic, pithy, precise, brief)

  6. Meander: meander is to wander.

  7. Squander: If you let your mind wander, you let your time squander. (Waste, profligate, prodigal)

Use the same for idioms as well. I have no list of mnemonics prepared. I too began my preparation only eight days prior to my exam. However, with God's grace it went well.

I have no advices for phrasal verbs, voice, narration, or figure of speech. These are the only tips I used myself. Tried and tested.

Have faith, it will take you to places you didn't realise you could be in. May God help you all in your exams. Amen. ✨🙏🏻💓

Stay blessed my loves. 🎀

14 May S1 (English) Review

Hi munchkins!

Here's my honest English Cuet UG review.

Level: moderate-easy.

Dominance: Grammar.

I don't remember much but here's what I recall:

No. Or questions can be more or less thanks to my gold fish ahh memory.

  1. Vocabulary & Word usage:

4-6 Q

Incandescent, incaptivity, inveterate, assiduous, canvass, prodigal, parsimonious, profligate, vacilliate, persist, wane, sagacious, imprudent, refrendrum, Laurels, plutocracy, profuse, belligerent, emulate.

I don't remember much, probably because they were so easy for me and I didn't have to spend time pondering.

  1. Figure of speech:

1-2 Q

"The anxious chair cleaking in the hallroom" : Transferred epithet.

There was one more i don't remember but I do remember the options: transferred epithet, personification, simile, metaphor.

Q. What is the antonym of Exonerate? Aqccuit, Absolve, Release, Convicted.

  1. Narration and voice: 1 question each. Pretty easy. Q. His friend's assured him of various possibilities. Q. Rahul said to the teacher 'What is the way to solve this question?'

  2. Idioms:

3-4 questions or just 3, maybe.

  1. A bee in a bonnet.
  2. A bun in the oven.
  3. Chip on one's shoulder.
  4. To sail close to the wind.

These were particularly for one question where a guy was obsessed with one idea (Substantial living) and always talked about it with others and lectures them to do the same.

More idioms: Pink slip. Hand in glove. To burn the mid night oil. To meet one's Waterloo.

This is all I remember from match the following. And there was one more question I forgot.

Sorry 😭🙏🏻

:^/Word usage was heavy today.

  1. [] Literary works are as good as 'some random name' The author has used [] in his/ than his blah blah. Options : A few, much. The few, more Few, much smth

  2. He waited [] all night for the hornbill to [] of its nest. Options: Patiently, finally Cautiously, continuously and smth.

  3. No foreign words. One word substitution was only in Match the following. That too 1 question. Prepositions were heavy too. Phrasal verbs were fine. 2-3 questions. • Fall in, fall on, fall for, fall through. • take off, take down, take in, take for.

5.RC- 2

Slightly tricky I'd say.

One was about Poets and how poetry is an art of subjectivity. You take what you learn through poetry and assign meaning to it. Reader's minds are like empty sheets. Bouries [i don't remember properly, but it was the name of a poet] who slipped his unsigned poetry in the poclets of jackets in a bar. His work was stolen by a postman who gave the poetry to a girl claiming it as it's own. When Bouries akwd why he did that he haightly claimed that 'Poetry doesn't belong to the poet, and I may have a good insight and ownership of the art form then you' this shos the problems with patent laws. 'Whom does the fragrance of the rose belong to? The rose or the passerby' a metaphor to describe poetry.

The other was about Britishers destroying Indian rain forest and wildlife to grow commercial crops. They bought trees that suck up huge amounts of water destroying the Indian rain forest. They grew poppy somewhere in North India and to protect that killed the predators there.The Nawab Junagarh smth who owned a wildlife century in Gujarat to kill Lions. Only a few people had access to that.

This is all I remember. I request all those who had given the exam today and got the similar set to add on the information and also correct mine if I am wrong.

Please don't DM me I have done my very best to recall everything, I can't remember anything anymore.

Stay blessed my loves ✨

Since all you munchkins are stressing so much, i recommend you prepare English from S.P Bakshi General English ONLY if you have more than a week left for your exam. Or just download a PDF and go through idioms, one word substitution and vocab. It's very helpful.

Guys remember I am only a source only God can help you. And he helps those who help themselves. Babe, trust me He is the ONLY he who never disappoints. All the best to you all. With Lord's grace you will see through the questions and answers will reveal themselves. Amen. 💓✨🙏🏻
