Well preparing for GATE is very different from preparing for your semester examination. Someone rightly said GATE is all about basics and how to apply those basics in practical problems. so how do you prepare for GATE 2009? What is your strategy for gate? How you plan to tackle the question. With negative marking what are your plans for uncertain answers. If Aerospace is your stream for GATE 2009, what topics you will touch and what you will leave? Do share with me? And for the people who are preparing in aerospace for GATE 2009, Here i have made links from the web that will give bit size information about all the topics. You can use this web page to learn each topic everyday. I specially made to help me have bite size preparation while working from office
