Create a Personal Timetable

It is important for the candidates to create a personal timetable for their preparation. Candidates should make sure that all of the subjects and topics should be equally divided in the timetable. Subjects can also be studied alternatively to avoid monotony. Candidates are also advised to allot enough hours per day for revision and mock tests. Adequate break times are also necessary for the timetable.

Practice with Mock Tests

Mock tests are one of the commonly used methods for exam preparation. Since the mock tests are created as a replica of the examination, the candidates will be able to be familiar with how the question paper will be set.
