PlanYour free study planner — the coaching timetable, on your terms

A coaching centre hands you a fixed timetable. Here is a clear one you can follow free, in Tamil or English, and bend to your own pace.

Your daily routine (30–60 min):
  • 10 min — revise one concept (start with Child Development & Pedagogy).
  • 20–30 min — practise that section in Tamil or English and read every explanation.
  • 5 min — check your readiness tracker and pick tomorrow's weakest section.
StageFocusGoal
Weeks 1–2CDP + the language papers (Tamil & English)Every CDP & Language bar moving on the tracker
Weeks 3–4Mathematics + EVS pedagogyAll five sections started — no bar at 0%
Weeks 5–6Timed practice across all sections + revise weak areasEvery section above the 60% line
Final 1–2 weeksTimed mock sets + revise focus areas onlyCross 60% comfortably — calm and exam-ready

Pick the timeline that fits you:

A

Starting from zero (6–10 weeks)

Weeks 1–4: cover one section at a time until each bar turns blue. Weeks 5–8: mock tests twice a week + revise focus areas. Final weeks: mocks + revision only.

B

Revision / repeat attempt (2–4 weeks)

Start with mocks to find weak sections, then re-practise only what is below the 60% line. Revise CDP and the language papers daily — they decide most results.

StrategyExam strategy & exam-day plan

The tactics a coaching class drills — plus the calm a coaching class rarely gives.

1

No negative marking — attempt every question

TNTET has no negative marking, so never leave a blank. Mark your best option even when unsure; a guess can only help.

2

About one mark a minute

150 questions in 150 minutes. Flag a hard question, move on, and return — bank the easy marks first.

3

CDP & the language papers decide results

They carry the most weight and are the most scoring. Keep them strong with a little revision every day.

4

Practise in your exam medium

Decide early whether you will answer in Tamil or English and practise mostly in that medium so the terms feel natural.

⏰ On exam day

  • Carry your hall ticket and ID; reach the centre early and stay calm.
  • Fill the OMR carefully — one wrong bubble costs a sure mark.
  • Attempt all 150 — no negative marking, so a blank is a wasted chance.
  • Breathe. You prepared in your own language, at your own pace — this is just one more set.
