CTET 2026 Preparation Strategy
🎯 CDP है आपकी Secret Weapon
CDP (Child Development & Pedagogy) दोनों papers में 30 marks है = 20% of total। Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg + RTE 2009 + NEP 2020 - इन 5 topics पर command = 20–25 marks guaranteed। ज्यादातर candidates CDP ignore करते हैं - यही आपकी opportunity है।
CDP (Both Papers, 30 Marks): Piaget's stages याद करें, Vygotsky ZPD, RTE 2009 key provisions, NEP 2020 5+3+3+4 structure। Teaching Pariksha CDP notes = exam ready।
Language I & II (30+30 Marks): अपनी strongest language Language I में choose करें। Language II में basic comprehension और grammar। Literature theory questions practice करें।
EVS/Science/Maths: NCERT Class 1–8 textbooks - यही CTET का primary source है। Direct questions NCERT examples से आते हैं।
Pedagogy Section: हर subject में pedagogy questions होते हैं - "यह topic कैसे पढ़ाएं?" Practice करें।
PYQ (Previous Year Questions): CTET 10 साल के papers solve करें - repeat pattern identify करें। 40–60% questions similar pattern में आते हैं।
No Negative Marking Strategy: सभी 150 questions attempt करें। Unsure questions में 2 options eliminate करके 50% से guess करें।
