Cracking The Career: Code Tips to Choose the Right Career for Yourself

In India, the most appropriate time for you to decide what career pathway you need to tread on is usually in your 8th or 9th grade. Needless to say, you need to make up your mind over a field in the 10th grade so as to pick a stream that you’d want to make your career flourish in, but it should always be something that is appropriate for you and your abilities. It is obvious for you to be confused and troubled by what career you need to choose, and how to go on about it after you’ve made the choice, but we’re here to ease your worries in making the choice.

First things first, having the right educational partner is exceptionally crucial when it comes to learning right and having time. At Tutoratti, we believe that online and offline coaching should be made extraordinarily personalized and affordable since it is all set to be the next big thing in the country.  Our personalized online sessions, effective learning material, and experienced educators, all contribute to an exceptional online coaching experience that you can be a part of. Coaching JEE, NEET, CET, 10th, and 12 Boards students for years together, in Maharashtra at Pune (Sinhagad Road, Kondhwa, Aundh, Camp, and Kothrud), Pimpri Chinchwad, Raigad-Panvel, and Navi Mumbai-Kharghar.

Along with appropriate career guidance at every stage of your journey towards success, we also help you possibly choosing what may suit you the best, and here’s how you can get a good headstart on how to choose your career!

Take and Aptitude Test

Readily available at any career guidance counselor or educational institute, an aptitude test considers both: Your Intelligence as well as Emotional quotients- leading to an assessment by the counselor in figuring out what career might best suit you according to your skill and performance in the test. A career aptitude test is a short, objective career explorer quiz that includes several multiple-choice questions.

It’s a simple but powerful way to dig deep enough to find out your personality and interests, and then use that data to find out a list of careers that would be the best match.

The best time to take a career aptitude test is before the 10th and 12th grade before you’ve chosen your career. That’s when things are less messy and the field is wide open to choose the relevant stream (science, commerce, arts, business, etc) and right graduation degree.

Ask Yourself a Few Important Questions

There are a few questions you need to ask yourself first, before randomly choosing a career pathway of your choice. These include:

What are you good at, and what do you love?

Your skills inventory could take the form of a checklist, a mock resume, or interviews with friends, family members, mentors, and former employers who can provide an outside perspective. You can then return to a tool like the one provided above and more carefully match your skills and interests to job titles, narrowing in on those that are both best suited to you and have the best prospects for growth.

What is the best environment for your personality type?

It’s often helpful to take even deeper personality tests like the Myers-Briggs. This will help you further pinpoint just what you need in your work environment to thrive. Particularly important is determining whether you’re more of an introvert or an extrovert, as the two personality types differ widely in their needs. An introvert, for example, maybe more attracted to a quieter research role, while an extrovert will thrive in a busy, loud sales office. Public speaking, the amount of teamwork required and frequent contact with clients are also factors to consider.

What kind of lifestyle do you want?

Most jobs start off with at least a few years of hard labor at lower pay than you’d like. What’s more important is looking ahead at people well into a career track to determine whether the lifestyle they lead is desirable to you. Some factors you might want to consider include the amount of control they have over their own time, their salary, and the amount of travel involved, among other factors.

Make A List

However bizarre or wide-ranged it may seem, draw up a list of careers you think you’d like to venture into, and then access yourself around each of the options by doing a deeper study and some introspection. First, look for careers that appear on multiple lists and copy them onto a blank page. Title it “Occupations to Explore.” Your self-assessments ​indicated they are a good fit for you based on several of your traits, so they’re definitely worth exploring.

Next, find any occupations on your lists that appeal to you. They may be careers you know a bit about and want to explore further. Also, include professions about which you don’t know much. You might learn something unexpected. At this point, you’ll be thrilled you managed to narrow your list down to only 10 to 20 options. Now you can get some basic information about each of the occupations on your list.

Find job descriptions and educational, training, and licensing requirements in published sources. Learn about advancement opportunities. Use government-produced labor market information to get data about earnings and job outlook. In the end, remove everything with duties that don’t appeal to you. Eliminate careers that have weak job outlooks. Get rid of any occupation if you are unable or unwilling to fulfill the educational or other requirements, or if you lack some of the soft skills necessary to succeed in it.

Connect With Professionals

Once you shortlist your career options, be sure to connect with individuals who have experience in the field. Schedule a Q&A session with them and write your questions in advance, so that you could be clear about everything during the interview. These people can provide firsthand knowledge about the careers on your short list. Access your network, including LinkedIn, or even people your parents and family might know, to find people with whom to have these informational interviews.

Do An Internship

If you want to get a first-hand experience at the career or careers you have shortlisted, be sure to sign-up for internships during your free time, holidays, or even alongside school or college hours. Companies are always looking for interns to work for them, and this could be a great opportunity for you to get an up, close and personal look at the career you want to take up for the rest of your life.

Analyze Your Choice Thoroughly

When it comes to choosing your career, there are no do-overs. This is why you need to think about all the aspects of the choice you have made. To get a better idea about whether a certain career might be a good fit for you, look into what the day-to-day responsibilities of each job look like. Get example job descriptions and common tasks and responsibilities. You might also consider asking shadow people in your network with jobs on your list.

Next up,  learn about average compensation for the jobs you’ve identified. It is also important to know if there is an opportunity for growth in your chosen career. This means the availability you’ll have in the career to advance, gain skills, and take on more responsibility. Read job descriptions carefully to learn about job requirements and growth opportunities.

Another key piece of information is how your selected job stands in the labor market. This includes data like hiring trends and job growth. Search for news stories about the industry or job title that interests you. You will want to give preference to jobs that have steady hiring and growth.

In the end, it is important to pick the occupation that you think will bring you the most satisfaction based on all the information you have gathered. For more such informative and helpful content, visit our website and browse through our unique blogs to get all the help you need!

Top Tips On How to Write the Perfect Paper During Your Boards

Every small detail in your answer sheet matters when it comes to grabbing more marks in your class 10 board exams. As the Maharashtra SSC boards near, it is time to pay attention to some of the best tips you need to know as far as writing a good paper is concerned. You may have already studied a major chunk of your syllabus and might have read thousands of tips on how to study, or how to attempt your paper. This being said, also knowing how to write your paper is of the utmost importance in order to score exceedingly well.

Imagine a scenario wherein the examiner who is assigned with your paper has checked almost hundreds of answer sheets before you. Then consider how your examiner would feel if your paper were to be shabby, unkempt, and untidy. On the flip side, if your paper is neater and a lot easier to read and comprehend, the examiner will be in a better mood to form a great impression on your answer sheet. Your answers should be so visually appealing to the examiner so that he/she need not put any extra effort to go through your answer script. So to help you out, here are the best tips you need to know in order to write the best answer sheet ever!

First things first, having the right educational partner is exceptionally crucial when it comes to learning right and having time. At Tutoratti, we believe that online and offline coaching should be made extraordinarily personalized and affordable since it is all set to be the next big thing in the country.  Our personalized online sessions, effective learning material, and experienced educators, all contribute to an exceptional online coaching experience that you can be a part of. Coaching JEE, NEET, CET, 10th, and 12 Boards students for years together, in Maharashtra at Pune (Sinhagad Road, Kondhwa, Aundh, Camp, and Kothrud), Pimpri Chinchwad, Raigad-Panvel, and Navi Mumbai-Kharghar.

So without further ado, let’s get right into how you can write a paper that is neat, precise, and well-framed.

Draw Lines To Keep Your Content Looking Aligned

As soon as you get your answer sheet before the question paper is given to you, invest your time in working on tidying up space in your paper. Draw a two-inch border on the right side of the page of your answer sheet where you can do your rough work. Otherwise, doing the rough work anywhere else in the sheet will make it look untidy. On the other hand, if you want to delegate the last page in the sheet for your rough work, leave the space after line as it is, this will allow some breathing space on the page, leaving it a little easier to read due to the white space balance.

Go Beyond Text

Always go beyond the call of duty and try to increase the pictographic content wherever possible by including as many diagrams, tables, charts, etc., as possible. It will help to make your knowledge more noticeable and visible than writing it in the form of long paragraphs and will also help the examiner in truly noticing the fact that you have studied well and understood all concepts instead of just memorizing text and writing it down. Effective time management will allow you to do this better. Make sure you solve adequate sample papers in order to break down your time and also practice some diagrams, tables, and pie charts while attempting these mock tests. This will give you a great idea of how you can successfully divide your time without having to lose out on any questions or marks.

Divide Your Answers

Most students have the habit of writing answers in a single paragraph, especially since they feel that they don’t have enough time. This makes it extremely difficult for the examiner as he/she has already read dozens of these answers at this point, and doesn’t feel like getting into another cramped block of text. To combat this drab and monotonous trend and score better, try to write most of the answers in points or bullets with properly highlighted headers and sub-headers. Try and use an alternate color (from the colors that are allowed) to write down sub-headings and point headings.

Don’t Be Afraid To Highlight

Once again, if you leave no space or division in your answer, this might frustrate your examiner. In such a scenario, even if you divide your answer into points, sub-heads, or paragraphs or even if you don’t- it is important to either highlight or underline the important bits of your answer that can draw the examiner’s attention to the core facts that will give him/her the insights on whether your answer is correct and whether you have understood the core concept. According to what the rules are, you could either highlight the core words and phrases with a highlighter or underline them with a pencil or a different colored pen, neatly with a ruler.

Write an introduction and conclusion

Wherever it is possible, make sure you write a good introduction and conclusion to your answer, so as to create a background and an end to what you have written. This will enable you to space out long answers and will give the examiner confidence about your ability to explain answers a lot more effectively.

Draw A Line After Each Answer, Or Go To The Next Page

Amidst checking hundreds of papers, the examiner’s attention and eyesight may get fuzzy in figuring out where one answer has ended and where the next has begun, making it troublesome for you in scoring better. To avoid any of these discrepancies, it is important that you let the examiner know where your previous answer has ended. This is all the more crucial in places where you have jumbled the question paper sequence and attempted questions in a different sequence. To do this, either leave a line and draw a dividing line between the answer and the next or leave the remaining bit of the page and start with a new answer on a new page.

Write Fast, But Neat

Our hands are constructed so that our fingers can move up and down, not side to side. Thus, by writing with a more up and down motion, your hand can move faster and also prevents your writing from getting too messy. Also, don’t just turn your wrists. Move your arms side by side at a constant rate as well. By moving your arms instead of your wrists, you’ll remove stress from turning your wrists. Allow your arm to guide your hand, not your wrist. Your writing will become straighter as well.

Don’t grip your pen so hard that you overwork your muscles, just relax your arms and keep it going.

Write The Correct Question Numbers

If you’re not writing the answers as per the sequence of the question paper, you will have to be extremely vigilant in writing the correct numbers and options you choose. So, do not forget to write the question number against each answer properly. It should be clearly visible, or else you may lose marks for this silly mistake.

Do Not Scribble

If you have made an error in an entire paragraph or even just one or two words, make sure you don’t just scribble all over the mistake. This disturbs the look of your answer. Instead, draw just one simple line or slash across the word or paragraph to show that the error has been made.

In the end, once you are done with the paper, revise it thoroughly and highlight the important points or words. For instance- you can underline important words in paragraphs to grab the attention of the examiner.

10 Scientifically-Proven Ways to Study and Learn Better

You may have heard or read about millions of ways to improve your study habits or learn better, but have you ever gone into the science of it? Well, lots of researches and studies have shown a set of scientifically-backed tips that can provenly help you enhance your learning capabilities. Science has been working hard and has found ways to help you get the most out of your study time, all backed by hefty research. To help you out with your study habits, especially since the 10th and 12th board exams are inching closer, here are the best tips that will help you learn better, thanks to scientific studies!

First things first, having the right educational partner is exceptionally crucial when it comes to learning right and having time. At Tutoratti, we believe that online and offline coaching should be made extraordinarily personalized and affordable since it is all set to be the next big thing in the country.  Our personalized online sessions, effective learning material, and experienced educators, all contribute to an exceptional online coaching experience that you can be a part of. Coaching JEE, NEET, CET, 10th, and 12 Boards students for years together, in Maharashtra at Pune (Sinhagad Road, Kondhwa, Aundh, Camp, and Kothrud), Pimpri Chinchwad, Raigad-Panvel, and Navi Mumbai-Kharghar.

So let’s just jump right into the top 10 tips you need to know to scientifically improve your learning capabilities.

Take Breaks

Taking a short break after every hour of learning is better than working straight through as it improves your ability to focus on a particular task without being distracted. Research has found that the greatest improvement comes following 15 minutes of moderate activity (jogging, a brisk walk, dribbling a ball) but the improvement was also shown following vigorous activity (running, jumping, skipping) or a passive break (such as listening to music or watching funny YouTube clips – because for sure that’s why they were invented). Memory is strongest for the things learned immediately before and after a break so keep those times for the tough stuff.

Sleep Well, Don’t Pull Off All-Nighters

If you study at night and feel that this might be a better option for you, science advises otherwise. All-nighters will mess with your ability to remember and process information. Sleep prepares your brain for learning, so pulling an all-nighter can cut your capacity to learn new things by up to 40% – and that’s not the only problem. Research has shown that it can take up to four days for your brain to return to normal after you’ve been awake all night.

Furthermore, the power of sleep is miraculous. Deep sleep causes physical changes in the brain. When you learn something, your brain cells grow new connections that reach out and connect to other brain cells. This strengthens the pathways in your brain around whatever it is your learning. Sleeping after learning encourages memories of the information to be wired into your brain, so it’s less likely to fade.

Get Moving

Exercising every day is of utmost importance. When you exercise, your blood chemistry changes and your brain becomes the very happy recipient of important nutrients. It repays the favor by amping up its performance – specifically memory, attention, information processing, and problem-solving. Exercise increases the levels of a crucial brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF is important for the growth of brain cells, mood, and learning. It also releases a powerful cocktail of important hormones including serotonin (the mood booster), dopamine (for learning and attention), and norepinephrine (for awareness, attention, and concentration).

So just get to it for at least 20-30 minutes a day. Anything that increases your heart rate will do the trick – running, bike-riding, walking, kicking a ball, or turning up the beats and dancing it out.

Space It Out

Research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day. Instead, space out those study sessions. In one 2009 experiment, college students studied vocabulary words with flashcards. Some students studied all the words in spaced-apart sessions throughout four days. Others studied smaller batches of the words in crammed, or massed, sessions, each over a single day. Both groups spent the same amount of time overall. But testing showed that the first group learned the words better.

Allow time between study sessions, and some of the material may drip out of your memory. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session. And you’ll remember it better, next time.

Keep Taking Tests

Testing yourself will force you to remember information. Every time you remember something, the information becomes a little more enduring. Testing yourself might also help to take the fire out of test anxiety, in the same way, that exposure to any feared object eventually makes that object less frightening. Testing yourself on the material you’ve learned is more effective than reading the material over and over. Re-reading material might get you thinking that you’re familiar with the material, but until you try to retrieve that material from memory, you won’t actually know how well you know it or where the gaps in your knowledge are.

Use Flash-Cards

Re-reading your notes may seem like a good idea, but it can be detrimental as it draws your attention to less important information. It also fails to link concepts together and improve your understanding of the topic. Flashcards, on the other hand, engage “active recall” by remembering the concept from scratch. When you reveal the answer side of a flashcard to assess whether or not you are correct, you self-reflect – an act known as metacognition. Research shows that applying metacognition ingrains memories deeper into your knowledge.

Active recall has been shown to create stronger neuron connections for that memory trace. And because flashcards can so easily facilitate repetition, they are the best way to create multiple memory-enhancing recall events. Some research has found that this kind of active recall retrieval practice leads to 150% better retention than passive studying.

Listen To Music

Nope, this is not a joke. Ever heard of the “Mozart Effect”? It is the popular idea that listening to Mozart makes you smarter –and that just about any classical music can have the same effect. The key is to choose music that’s different from your preferred style and music that plays constantly in the state. Choose neutral music with a repetitive pulse and don’t play it too loud. According to reports, the Mozart Effect research itself was interested in the relation between Mozart and ‘spatial-temporal reasoning’, or knowing how to fit things into other things, basically. The idea that music – particularly classical – can improve exam results has endured, with websites such mozarteffect.com selling music supposedly designed to “charge the brain.” Subjects tested in environments with background music were found to get better results than those tested against background noise.

Mix It Up

Research shows that it is better to Study multiple subjects each day, rather than focusing on just one or two subjects. For example, if you’re preparing for exams in math, history, physics, and chemistry, it’s better to study a bit of each subject every day. This approach will help you to learn faster than by focusing on just math on Monday, history on Tuesday, physics on Wednesday, chemistry on Thursday, and so on. Why? Because you’re likely to confuse similar information if you study a lot of the same subject in one day. So as a tip to learn faster, spread out your study time for each subject. In so doing, your brain will have more time to consolidate your learning.

Quit Multi-Tasking

If you think you can do it all, you can’t. According to research-based data i: Multitasking makes you less productive, more distracted, and dumber. The studies even show that people who claim to be good at multitasking aren’t actually better at it than the average person. Effective students focus on just one thing at a time. So don’t try to study while also intermittently replying to text messages, watching TV, and checking your Twitter feed.

Here are some suggestions to improve your concentration:

Turn off notifications on your phone

Put your phone away, or turn it to airplane mode

Log out of all instant messaging programs

Turn off the Internet access on your computer

Close all of your Internet browser windows that aren’t related to the assignment you’re working on

Clear the clutter from your study area

Focus On The Process

Lastly, pull your focus towards the process and not the outcome. Research suggests that students who succeed in school concentrate on learning the information, not on trying to get a certain grade. These students:

Focus on effort, not the end result

Focus on the process, not on achievement

Believe they can improve – even in their weak subjects – as long as they put in the time and hard work

Embrace challenges

Define success as pushing themselves to learn something new, not as getting straight A’s

On the other hand, not-so-successful students tend to set performance goals, while successful students tend to set learning goals.

These are the absolute best tips science has given you to study a lot better! For more such informative and helpful content, visit our website and browse through our unique blogs to get all the help you need!

MHT-CET 2021 Subject Wise Study Tips and Techniques

If you’ve been residing in Maharashtra for quite some time now, you might be aware of the MHT-CET exam, otherwise known as the Maharashtra Health and Technical Common Entrance Test. Once you step into the science stream, or even when you’re in school- if you’re inclined towards pursuing a career in Engineering or Pharmacy, within the state of Maharashtra, this exam is for you!

Everyone in the family who is older than you are going to suggest or most probably is suggesting to study with a timetable and with a strategy but nobody is going to give you one. This is where we come to rescue all the students. In this article, we are providing tips and techniques to study subject-wise.

But, first things first, having the right educational partner is extremely crucial when it comes to learning. At Tutoratti, we believe that online and offline coaching should be made extremely personalized and affordable since it is all set to be the next big thing in the country. Our personalized online sessions, effective learning material and experienced faculty, all contribute to an exceptional online coaching experience that you can be a part of. Cracking CET, JEE, NEET, 10th and 12th boards students for years together in Maharashtra at Pune (Sinhagad Road, Kondhwa, Aundh, Camp and Kothrud), Pimpri, Chinchwad, Raigad-Panvel and Navi Mumbai-Kharghar.

Here are the Tips and Techniques to Subject Wise Studying:

PHYSICS – To solve numerical problems at a go, your basics need to be absolutely clear. Whenever you start a topic, read it slowly and thoroughly. Later, have a look at some solved examples to understand the application of concepts.

After getting the hang of the concepts attempt the formula based concepts and then jump on to complicated numerical problems. A month before the actual exam, take as many mock tests as possible to improve your speed and accuracy in solving numerical problems.

Note down important concepts and topics from the syllabus.

For example- Force, Scalars and Vectors, Friction in Solids and Liquids, Refraction of Light, Magnetism, Ray Optics are considered to be important chapters from Grade 11. And, Waves and Sound, Electrostatics, Current Electricity and Rotational Motion are important topics from Grade 12.

Make sure to create a different section for each topic to avoid confusion during revision.

CHEMISTRY – Chemistry is a little tricky subject to master. You need to a slightly different approach to understand different parts of Chemistry. It is imperative to completely understand the mechanisms of a chemical reaction. Do not try to memorize a reaction as it will lead you nowhere. You may end up making more mistakes than you would normally do.

Make an effort to understand and master the nitty gritties of chemistry which will eventually be beneficial while formulating a chemical reaction. A key to learning and studying chemistry is practice. Solving practice problems, equations and working formulae, etc. should be a core feature of your routine.  Challenge your understanding and knowledge of chemistry by reviewing and working the practice problems found on sample chemistry tests, as well as problems found on previous chemistry tests.

USE FLASHCARDS – Flashcards are nothing new, but they work. They are particularly useful for studying chemistry. Chemistry is full of scientific symbols, formulae and vocabulary that must be memorized and interpreted correctly. Flashcards are ideal for organizing and studying chemical symbols, formulae, and vocabulary – including the periodic table of elements. Once you’ve created an organized set of flashcards you’ll find memorizing easier.

When studying chemistry, break the material down into smaller pieces that you can master. Even though this may seem at times to be slow and tedious, it will help you actually learn what you’re studying. Once you’ve mastered one concept, move on to the next. You’ll be surprised to find that after you really understand a few of the smaller concepts well, it will become much easier to learn and master larger concepts. Make a note of important topics while revising. Chemical Thermodynamics and Energetics, p-Block Elements – Group 15 To 18, Coordination Compounds, d and f Block Elements and Chemical Kinetics are considered important.

MATH – Math can be a polarizing subject: the rigid formulas and complex problem-solving of mathematics are loved by some and loathed by others. But whether you love it or hate it, everyone needs to learn math at some point. There are many ways to learn math – in school or our online coaching platform Tutoratti.

Here are some easy ways to do fast calculations which will be helpful while solving a paper with a time constraint.

Multiply Faster – One method is remembering that 5 is 10 divided by 2 when multiplying by the powers of 5. In this case, a complicated multiplication like 48 x 5 can be made easier and faster by multiplying by 48 x 10 (simply adding a 0 to make 480) and dividing by 2. It is also useful to remember that every multiplication has a “twin”: for example, if you are struggling with 7×4, try working it out as 4×7, which may be easier to remember. Subtracting and adding to squares (i.e. multiplying a number by itself) can be a helpful tool for faster multiplication too. When it comes to multiplying by 9, the best trick to use is to actually multiply by 10 and then subtract one group of the number you are multiplying by. For 9×8 for example, try 10×8 which is 80. 80 minus 8 gives 72, which is the answer to 9×8.

Solving a Math problem fast – When you are faced with a mathematical problem, you should write it down. Seeing the problem written down will speed up the process of solving it vs. doing it in your head, as it will allow you to recognize the type of problem and what formulae you have to use to solve it. Memorizing important multiplication shortcuts and factoring also come in handy when trying to solve equations quickly. Don’t hesitate to use a calculator for tedious calculations and remember that practice makes perfect, meaning that the more time you spend practicing, the quicker you will become when solving math problems.

Online Coaching – Tutoratti with the best and experienced faculty guides you through all your doubts and makes sure you are at the right place before you enter the exam hall.

BIOLOGY –  Biology in an optional subject in MHT-CET. Students who want to build a career in Pharmacy, Biotechnology, Microbiology opt to appear for Biology. Here are few techniques which could be useful for preparation of the subject.

Study to Understand – When going through the study material, focus on the topics that your teacher has marked as the most important and which is likely to appear on exams.  are the things that have been emphasized in lecture and in assigned readings.

Understand the terminology – The hardest part of studying biology is memorizing different terms. If you want to master what you are reading, you need to familiarize yourself with all these terms first. Great method for this is to break down the complex word and identify its root. It is recommended that whenever you come across such unfamiliar words you should take note of them, find its meaning and then take the time to understand its roots.

Learning from diagrams – Sketching a diagram is an easier way to grasp a concept than just reading or memorizing it. If you have understood the concept clearly, you should be able to sketch the entire process and label it correctly.

Set a specific time for studying Biology – For many students Biology can be a difficult subject to understand, you must put an extra effort to master it. Setting aside time to study, you will get in a habit of studying the subject frequently. Even if you plan out 20 minutes of your day, you will see yourself getting a hold on the subject in no time.

Go through old exam papers – If you have an access to old exam papers of previous years, attempt the test to understand the format and type of questions that may arise in the actual test.

To conclude, as the pandemic still upon us, make sure to take enough rest to relax your brain. Choose home cooked food over outside eatables. And stay focused to hit the target.
