Imagine if your Common University Entrance Test (CUET) preparation wasn’t boring. What if you could whimsically transform your preparation into something interesting and fun-filled. Think of your CUET preparation strategy as a pretend game where you leverage every step (starting from preparation to the day you give exam) as a level in your imaginary game!
Welcome to CUET 101, where preparation can be adventurous with the thrill of challenge and progression. Visualizing your CUET drill and effectively working on it will ultimately reward you with admission in your dream university. Just like any other game, this game is a metaphor to help you guide through CUET preparation.
Now as you embark on this gaming quest, following are the levels you should be visualising in order to conquer the milestone of your dream university!
Level 1: Understanding the Rules & Creating your Avatar
You can only start a game once you know its rules and regulations. In a similar context, it is important to understand that CUET has 3 sections, namely, Language, Domain-Specific subjects and General Aptitude Test. Additionally, a good gamer (aspirant) should also be aware of the total number of questions and its marking scheme.
Next, every video game starts to see its personality once an avatar is created. You choose your avatar based on its skills, strengths and abilities best suited to you. Similarly, for CUET, creating an avatar is equivalent to understanding the exam pattern, and basing your own personalised study plan and strategy.
Here is your checklist to complete level 1:
- Understand the exam subjects and pattern
- Draft a study plan and timetable that suits your routine
- Collect all the essential study materials i.e. books, sample papers and online resources

Level 2: Quest like Subway Surfers!
Remember Subway Surfers, the endless runner game that everybody was fixated to achieve a higher score on? Imagine this level as to be your own game of Subway Surfers. You are running to escape your own battles of procrastination, distraction and demotivation to climb every step in order to finally achieve the score you are proud of.
For CUET preparation, start strengthening your knowledge base. Imagine each chapter/topic you cover as a power-up, eventually helping you get stronger and smarter. Additionally, as you move through, you have the potential to unlock a higher score with each mock test you ace!
Here is your checklist to complete level 2:
- Study regularly with consistency.
- Break down huge deliverables into manageable tasks.
- Focus on mastering basic concepts before diving into advanced topics.
- Practice solving sample papers and mock tests.
Remember, in order to ace this whimsical game, practice should be your weapon. The more you practice, notice mistakes and make changes, the better your performance will be!
Level 3: Face your Hurdles to Ace Them!
Every game that you have ever played only gets difficult with each passing level. It is never a smooth ride and has a significant amount of hurdles. Similarly, in CUET, it could be a whole subject that you find harder than others to accomplish. Conversely, maybe it is a topic or vocabulary that challenges you. Just like in every other game, here itself too you will need trials and errors, following so, finally a strategy to overcome your own hurdles.
It is important that you are not discouraged by these hurdles, instead you take them with an optimistic approach, eventually, strengthening them. Make use of guidance, resources, study material, discussion forums or even online tutorials available to you.
Here is your checklist to complete level 3:
- One difficult topic at a time
- Use resources available to you as your helpline to ace your weaknesses
- Stay calm, optimistic and approach these hurdles with fresh mindset if they heavy
Level 4: Make Use of Lifeline and Remember to Recharge!
Your avatar can not perform in full capacity without two main strengths, particularly, proper guidance and rest. As you reach these challenging levels, think of this guidance as your lifelines and approach them effectively. Following are the lifelines that come in handy during CUET preparation:
- Time Management: The ability to solve questions was achieved in the previous levels, however, the clock always keeps ticking and it is important to make the most of it. Practice time-bound mock tests and boost your efficiency.
- Hacks full of techniques: Drafting guides like flashcards, visual aids and notes can act as a power up to help you retain information.
- Mental and Physical Fitness: Every gamer needs to keep their health intact. You need to understand the importance of staying mentally and physically fit to be able to prepare well for CUET and then achieve that score. Exercise, eat healthy and sleep well to maintain healthy energy levels.
Level 5: The Intimidating FINAL Level before Success!
There is always an intimidating monster that your avatar needs to face before actually winning the game. In CUET, you have conquered all the quests (studies, time management and gotten proper rest), and now it is time to put everything to the test.
Like you would while playing a game, stay calm and focused under pressure. Remember you have prepared well and you have all the tools registered mentally in order to win the game.
So, are you ready to play this imaginary game and stand on the podium aka your dream college? The game is on for many aspirants, make sure you don’t join late and be ready to tackle every challenge that comes your way!
