CUET 2025 Preparation Strategy – How to Score 700+ Marks
CUET 2025 is the gateway to top central universities like Delhi University, BHU, and JNU. With lakhs of students competing and limited seats, scoring 700+ marks can place you in the top percentile. Here’s a smart and practical strategy to help you reach your target score.
1. Understand the CUET Exam Pattern
Before you start preparing, know the structure:
- Section I (Language) – English or any chosen language (Reading comprehension, Vocabulary, Grammar)
- Section II (Domain Subjects) – 6 subjects of your choice from your stream
- Section III (General Test) – Logical reasoning, quantitative aptitude, GK, current affairs
Target: Focus on the section that aligns with your strengths, but don’t ignore the rest.
2. Choose the Right Subjects Strategically
- Select subjects you’re strong in and also offered by your target university/college.
- Check previous year cutoffs and subject requirements of top DU colleges.
- Some colleges consider only best of 3, some prefer domain + language + general test.
3. Create a Study Timetable
- Study 4–6 hours daily with breaks.
- Follow a cycle: Learn → Revise → Practice → Analyze mistakes
- Use weekends for full-length mock tests.
Sample Daily Schedule:
- 2 hrs – Domain Subject 1
- 1.5 hrs – Domain Subject 2
- 1 hr – English/Language
- 1 hr – General Test Practice
- 30 mins – Revision or quick quiz
4. Use the Right Study Material
For Language:
- Arihant’s English Language Book
- Practice RCs from past papers and online tests
For Domain Subjects:
- NCERTs (Class 11 & 12) – Most important
- PYQs and topic-wise MCQs
For General Test:
- RS Aggarwal (Quant)
- Lucent GK
- Practice logical reasoning daily (coding-decoding, puzzles, number series)
5. Practice Mock Tests & PYQs
- Take weekly full-length mocks to build stamina and speed.
- Analyze your score after each test.
- Identify weak topics and revise them immediately.
Pro Tip: Practice in a time-bound environment. Use CUET mock platforms like NTA’s official site or DuWaale mock test series (if you’re offering one).
6. Revision is the Key
- Keep short notes or flashcards for formulas, dates, and vocab.
- Revise every Sunday—don’t skip it!
- Practice quizzes to keep memory fresh.
7. Stay Consistent and Motivated
- Stay away from distractions—use apps like Forest or Notion to track time.
- Talk to seniors or toppers for tips.
- Follow DU and CUET updates on DuWaale.in or social media.
Final Thoughts
Scoring 700+ in CUET 2025 isn’t impossible—but it demands smart work, consistency, and clarity. Focus on your strengths, practice regularly, and stay confident. Your dream DU college is just a few smart steps away!
