MAH B.Ed CET study plan

MAH B.Ed CET · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Mental Ability and Reasoning & Arithmetic and Numerical Ability

Classify 60 reasoning items into series, analogy, coding-decoding, blood relation, direction, syllogism, and non-verbal types and record which types cost you the most time
Solve 40 number-series and analogy questions under a 45-second-per-item cap and log accuracy by type
Drill percentage, ratio, and average conversions until you can move between fraction, decimal, and percent forms without written work
Set up a single error notebook with one page per question type and enter every miss from this week

A one-page reasoning and arithmetic diagnostic sheet listing your three weakest question types with baseline accuracy percentages

Week 2

Master the standard coding-decoding patterns (letter shifting, reverse alphabet, positional sums) and apply them to 30 questions
Solve 25 syllogism and 25 blood-relation or direction-sense items using diagram-first method
Complete 30 profit-loss, simple interest, and compound interest problems with formula recall checked before each set
Reduce average time per arithmetic item to under 60 seconds across a timed 20-question set

A timed 40-question mixed reasoning-and-arithmetic test scored and reviewed, with every wrong answer rewritten correctly in the error notebook

Week 3

Build a dated current-affairs timeline covering the last 12 months across national policy, education, sports, awards, and appointments
Read one English editorial daily and extract its main idea plus two supporting details in a single sentence each
Practice 30 Marathi comprehension questions covering passage meaning, vocabulary in context, and idiom usage
Identify and fix your three most frequent grammar error types (subject-verb agreement, tense, prepositions) through 40 targeted items

A 12-month current-affairs timeline of at least 80 dated entries plus a log of 20 editorial summaries

Week 4

Convert the current-affairs timeline into 100 self-written one-line factual questions and self-test twice without notes
Complete 40 English vocabulary-in-context and synonym-antonym items drawn from your editorial reading
Complete 40 Marathi passage-based items under a 90-second-per-question cap
Review all reasoning and arithmetic errors from weeks 1-3 and re-solve each one cold

A full-length mock test in domains 1-4 taken under exam timing, scored, with a written error analysis by domain

Week 5

Define and distinguish teaching aptitude constructs: learner-centered vs teacher-centered approach, formative vs summative assessment, intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation
Analyze 25 classroom scenarios and justify each chosen response against a named educational principle
Map current education policy and commission recommendations relevant to the exam into a one-page reference sheet
Write short notes on learning theories (behaviorist, cognitivist, constructivist) and their classroom implications

A scenario-response log of 25 classroom situations with your chosen action and the principle that justifies it

Week 6

Practice 50 attitude-and-values items and articulate why a distractor is wrong, not just why the key is right
Cover inclusion, learning disabilities, and classroom management as scenario sets with 30 items
Return to reasoning with 40 mixed non-verbal and analytical items to rebuild speed
Rehearse a 3-minute spoken answer to 'Why teaching?' and 'How do you handle a disruptive learner?' and record yourself

A written rationale sheet for 30 teaching-aptitude questions explaining the rejection of every distractor

Week 7

Complete 60 arithmetic items spanning time-work, speed-distance, mensuration, and data interpretation under sectional timing
Do 40 English and 40 Marathi comprehension items back to back to build stamina across both languages
Cut careless arithmetic errors by re-checking units, approximations, and option plausibility on every item
Review the week-4 mock error list and confirm each weak area is now above 70 percent accuracy

Two sectional timed tests (arithmetic, language) scored with before-and-after accuracy comparison against week 4

Week 8

Take two full-length mocks under exact exam timing and review both within 24 hours
Re-read only your error notebook and current-affairs timeline; add no new material
Drill the 20 highest-frequency question types to automaticity with short 10-question sprints
Finalize exam-day logistics: admit card, ID, reporting time, and a timed section-order strategy

A final one-page revision sheet of formulas, high-yield facts, and personal error patterns, plus two completed mock scorecards

Week 2: Reasoning and arithmetic baseline accuracy is at least 60 percent per section, and no question type remains unattempted

Week 4: First full mock in domains 1-4 completed under timing with a written error analysis and a current-affairs timeline of 80+ entries

Week 6: Teaching aptitude scenario accuracy at 70 percent or higher, and every distractor in the rationale sheet is explained

Week 8: Both final mocks show at least 70 percent overall with no domain below 60 percent, and the one-page revision sheet is complete
