CTET Preparation Strategy
- 1.CDP is the key — 30 marks, purely conceptual. Focus on Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg theories. Most aspirants lose marks here.
- 2.Language papers are scoring — Both Language I and II (60 marks total) are straightforward if you practice comprehension passages daily.
- 3.Pedagogy > Content — Questions test HOW to teach, not just WHAT to teach. Understand teaching methods, not just facts.
- 4.Time management — 150 questions in 150 minutes = 1 minute per question. Never spend more than 90 seconds on any question.
