Through this, you can enhance your preparation to ensure better performance in the exam. You can improve your accuracy and speed along with work on your weaknesses to convert them into your strengths.

●    Make Short and Crisp Notes and Revise Regularly

Making short notes and underlining important points can be of great help during revision. Make sure to prepare short notes in a crisp manner in different subjects and separate notes of formulas and short tricks in quantitative aptitude for revision later. This will assist candidates to quickly do an overall revision in each subject a few days before the exam.

Preparing notes is not enough, candidates must go through them regularly throughout their preparation and not just a few days before the exam. Candidates often tend to forget the importance of revision and after completing a topic, they move on to the next one as they have to cover a vast syllabus in minimal time. It is advised that a candidate must revise and revisit previous topics before moving on further to retain them in mind.

●    Solve Previous Years Question Papers

A Candidate must take proper short breaks in between study sessions to refresh and rejuvenate their mind. This will improve their concentration capacity and productivity as well. Also, they must allot time for revision and giving regular mock to retain and test what they have studied.
