1. Introduction: Why the last month of GPAT is very important
GPAT 2025 is just a month away, and this last month will play the biggest role in deciding your final rank. Many students think that now only revision is left, but in reality, this is the time when the gap between average and topper is bridged. Students who use this time smartly – do targeted revision, solve MCQs and make their mindset strong, get their best score in the same exam.
In this blog, we will talk about some proven and practical strategies that will make your final month of GPAT super productive. Whether your aim is to just qualify or to be in the top 100, these tips will be helpful for students of every level.
2. Strategic Revision: Revise Smart, Not Hard
Now there is less time, so giving equal time to every subject is not practical. You have to revise smartly, where first give priority to those subjects which have more weightage like:
🔹Pharmaceutical chemistry and allied subject – 38 questions will come from here
🔹Pharmaceutics and allied subject – 38 questions will come from here too
🔹Pharmacology – 28 questions will come from here
🔹 Pharmacognosy and allied subject – 10 questions will come from here
🔹 Other subjects are also important but take them in the secondary round if the basics are clear.
📚 The method of revision should also be smart:
• Use short notes or flashcards that you have made. As soon as the chapter is completed, summarize the completed chapters and try to remember what was covered in the chapter through that summary.
• Flowcharts and tables help in remembering concepts, especially for classifications, mechanisms, pathways, etc.
• For the part which needs to be memorized like classification, tables, microscopy, wear it just before going to sleep and revise at least twice.
🎯 Smart Tip:
Divide your day into slots like this:
🌞 Morning slot = New part which you need to memorize or which you are facing problem in understanding
🌆 Evening slot = MCQ practice (ask questions based on what you have studied)
🌃 Night slot = Light revision or weak topic brushing
With this structured approach, your revision will remain focused and there will be no burn-out.
3. MCQ Practice: Accuracy, Speed & Analysis
Solving MCQs in the last month is not just a game of quantity, rather quality practice and error analysis are equally important. It is not enough to just solve the MCQs and leave them, rather it is important to analyze them.
✅ Targeted Practice:
• Start solving minimum 100-150 MCQs daily – but do not do it randomly, do it topic-wise.
• Practice MCQs of the topic which has been revised so that recall is strong and retention is also good.
• Focus on previous years GPAT papers and topic-wise test series.
📉 How to avoid negative marking:
• When in doubt, use the elimination technique — eliminate obvious wrong options, then think carefully and guess.
• Avoid blind guessing — attempt only when you are more than 50% sure.
• After every mock test, create your own silly mistakes tracker — check again and again whether the mistakes are happening in the same place or not.
⏱️ Speed & Time Management:
• Follow the 1-minute rule while solving MCQs — if you are not able to solve the question in 1 minute, skip it and move ahead.
• Use 3-pass technique:
o 🔹 First Pass: Solve easy questions first
o 🔹 Second Pass: Moderate questions in which a little logic has to be applied
o 🔹 Third Pass: Solve tough or doubtful questions in the end
📊 Analysis of Mock Tests:
• After every mock, do not just its scorecard, do its post-mortem:
o How did the question go wrong?
o Did I know the answer and still got it wrong?
If answer is yes, then must go for quick reading of that part from text book.
o Was the concept not clear or did I not pay attention?
o Was my time management not right while solving the question?
🎯 Bonus Tip: Make small MCQ quizzes on your weak topics and do self-test. This improves both technique retention and confidence.
4. Stay Positive & Mentally Strong in the Final Month 🧠✨
In the final preparation of GPAT, only revision and MCQs are not enough, mindset also plays an equally important role. Anxiety, self-doubt and pressure are very natural in these last days – but if you remain mentally calm and focused, then performance definitely improves.
💡 Develop a Positive Mindset:
• Do not compare yourself with others, do not get hopeless by seeing the mock scores of others.
• Look at your progress every day – focus on what I have learned today.
• Use positive affirmations about yourself like:
o “I am capable.”
o “I am getting better every day.”
o “I will confidently clear GPAT.”
🧘♂️ Simple Techniques to Reduce Stress:
• Do deep breathing for 5-10 minutes every morning or night.
• Light exercise, meditation, or even a 15-20 minute walk gives mental clarity.
• Avoid overthinking: GPAT is a test of preparation, not of intelligence.
🛌 Sleep & Breaks are Not a Waste of Time:
• It is important to take 6-7 hours of proper sleep — memory gets consolidated only through sleep.
• Taking short breaks (5-10 minutes) between long study hours boosts productivity.
• Don’t go into panic mode — revise calmly, practice mindfully.
🔥 Keep motivation alive:
• Remember your why – why do you want to give GPAT?
• Watch/listen to interviews of successful seniors or toppers.
• Stick the name or photo of your dream college on your table – you will get motivation by seeing it daily.
🎯 Bonus Tip: Make a small motivational mantra of your own and say it before every mock test – like “Calm mind, sharp focus, clear goal.”
Believe in yourself. You’ve come so far – now just need a little more push!
5. One-Month Preparation Daily Routine Tips 📅⏰
The last month is the most important phase of GPAT preparation. During this time, along with hard work, we have to follow a smart routine which balances revision, MCQs, mock test and rest.
• Make a plan for the next day at the end of every day – use a small diary or whiteboard.
• Do a full-length mock test every 3rd day – and analyse it thoroughly.
• Whatever topic you are weak in, revise it early in the morning – remembering it better with a fresh mind.
📌 Set Weekly Targets: (You can customize it according to your choice)
• Week 1: Pharmacology + Pharmaceutics focus
• Week 2: Pharmaceutical Chemistry + Analysis
• Week 3: Remaining subjects + MCQ marathon
• Week 4: Only mocks + weak topic revision + cool mind
🎯 Bonus Tip: Keep your study space clean, organized and distraction-free. Turn off notifications of all unwanted apps. You may study less, but study with full focus — quality matters more than quantity now.
