Preparation
Tips
PLAN
Nothing is ever possible without planning. Your first point of action should
be to set-up a study plan that is in line with your learning capacity and
goals.There is no one size fits all approach to this matter. You know
yourself best, sit down with a piece of paper, and start crafting a study
routine that is balanced, efficient, and won’t burn you out.
BREAK-DOWN THE SYLLABUS
Unlike school, you only have four subjects to cover. Go through all the
topics and list them out in an orderly manner, which you will feel
comfortable covering. Also, check out the concepts in-depth to gauge
your understanding of it.Finally, prioritize topics that you are unfamiliar
with first and the rest later. Please Keep them in sizable chunks so that
you will be able to complete it in due time.
MAKE NOTES
One of the most common advice that successful aspirants and mentors
preach is making notes. Making notes will help you memorize faster and
allow you to recall all the concepts just by glancing at them.Mind
mapping, learning in code, and charting concepts is a great way to
condense complex topics into in-depth yet straightforward content. While
trying to understand complicated subjects, you can use the Feynman
technique to grasp the material quickly.

Preparation
Tips
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
It is best to chart your time beforehand and utilize it efficiently to avoid
burning yourself out at the last moment. Divide the preparation period
into three stages; focus all your effort on the first stage on understanding
major topics while simultaneously noting down all the areas you struggle
with.In the second stage of preparation, utilize the time table to get
guidance on subjects you struggle with. In the final stage, dedicate all your
time to revision and testing your knowledge. This allows you to be
confident about your preparation and lets you cover all the topics at a
more relaxed phase.
PRACTICE
Sign up for an online test series practice every day after the second stage
of preparation; this will help you gauge your understanding of the topics
and identify weaker areas that need attention.Also, practice with the
previous year question papers and time yourself to measure your capacity;
an ideal time frame for each question should not exceed 35–50 seconds
this way, you will have ample time to check your answers at the end.

to tackle them down the road.

with like-minded individuals who are also on the same boat as you.
Involving yourself in discussions will help you learn faster, share resources,
and discover various perspectives on a subject matter.
STAY MOTIVATED

game if you wish to succeed. Be careful not to overwhelm yourself with
studies. This is where proper planning comes to play.
