Before you prepare timetable, know what type of person you are. Many of you may be a morning
person, few might be a night owl. Hence, allot the toughest paper to the time when your mind is fresh.
Spend more time on the paper by allotting that paper to the time when you feel anew. Also, plan
things beforehand, maybe a day prior on how you are going to go about things, and what part you are
about to cover that day. If you prepare and work on it, not only can you complete the entire syllabus
but also you can do much better than people who lack planning.
Tip 2: Take small breaks
It is important that you take breaks, calm yourself and relax your mind at regular intervals. It’s natural
to be stressed out with the exam pressures, especially while attempting such competitive exams.
Burdening your brain with too much information at one time can cause to the loss of memory at the
exam time. Play a game, take a walking out in the evening or have a conversation with your family and
friends.
Tip 3: Don’t study at odd times
Whenever you are stressed out or tired or sleepy, never get hold of your book. You cannot concentrate
nor will your mind retain the information you learnt during that time. It’s a huge waste of time for you.
Instead, what you can do during those hours is that you can take notes, search for internet sources or
just hear video speeches that is related to your exams. By that way, it will be productive as well as you
will not lose your study hours either.

Tip 4: Make note of the keywords or important topic

help you a lot during the last minute of your exams. Use stick notes, paste it around your room, the
places you see often. Similarly, when you read important topics, highlight those. It will be helpful when
you brush up the book at the last moment.
Tip 5: Revise a lot
Complete the syllabus beforehand. Never leave anything. Revise a lot even if it’s repeating. Practice
with the previous question papers as much as possible. Believe me, it helps you remember during your
examinations. While revising or studying never learn two tough subjects at a time. Leave gap or break
and continue as it will make you forget everything during the exam. Stop doing it if you have that habit.
