Do an honest talk with yourself

Most of the time we are actually aware of the exact reasons for our failure or shortcomings. We either don’t address them or start living in denial mode. You need to be honest with yourself in such circumstances. If you know the root cause of your disease and if you work on them, the symptoms will disappear themselves. Most of us focus on symptomatic management instead of the root cause approach.  

There can be different root causes for different aspirants: 

• Fear of one particular subject and you don’t focus on that particular subject
• Surrounded by too many distractions such as social media, movies, tv-series, etc.
• Have taken the exam for granted and have neglected the consequences of the upcoming future
• Good at exams but doesn’t work on weak areas post mock tests
• You get demotivated very quickly even after usual failures
