• Take breaks: Do not study for longer hours in this phase of ATMA preparation. You might feel you are not studying for enough hours but remember- quality matters, not quantity. Take adequate breaks, indulge in your favourite sport or hobby, go for a walk, watch movies, and read books to refresh your mind.
• Focus on exam day strategy: It is important to keep your mind calm and relaxed. No amount of revision and preparation will be worth it if one falters on exam day. Reach the ATMA exam centre an hour before the exam begins to complete the frisking formalities at the gate. Make sure you are carrying the required documents, i.e. ATMA admit card and a valid photo ID proof. Do not carry any electronic gadgets and stay away from indulging in unfair means.
