2. Maintain a Time-Table that suits your study habits

Maintain a Time-Table that suits your study habits.  Plan your short-term and long-term goals and study accordingly. Aim for time-based targets. Time-based targets will train your mind to allocate the right time for the right topic or subject. Be realistic and practical while making a Time-Table. If you like to study at night-time and your energy is more active in that time, you are a nocturnal person. You can invest that time in your studies and make your timetable accordingly. And same goes if you are a diurnal person. You may fail many times in following your own timetable. But that shouldn’t stop you from following it. You can make changes to it if you think certain changes can improve it. No one gets perfect in following the Time Table on the very first day. You need time. But try not to deviate from your schedule. And if so, get back to it sooner than later. And soon you will succeed in sticking to the Time Table and you’ll be able to ace it. Revise after completing any topic or subject.

You should pay heed to these points while drafting a Time-Table:

• Make a fixed time to study and avoid overstretching the study time.
• Allocate more time for difficult subjects.
• Take short breaks for your hobbies and relaxation from the schedule.

Prepare short notes of the basic concepts so that you can revise them just before the Exam.

5. Revise and Evaluate Yourself Timely via Mock Test

You need to assess yourself from time to time for speedy and successful Exam preparation. By assessing yourself regularly you get to know your weaknesses and the time to make improvements in your preparation. Give Mock Tests as much as you can, and practice more. Download the previous year’s sample papers and practice from them. While solving the questions, you need to imagine as if you are appearing in the actual Exam. Try to solve the paper without taking breaks in between. After giving every Mock Test, analyze your weaknesses through wrong answers given, and revise them again.
