2. Revision:- Start with revision of difficult topics. When you start your studies, start with the revision first and then focus on new questions, concepts and topics. 

3. Time Management:- You must revise all the topics from every single section. Designate time for  each section and try to complete this section at the designated time only.

4. Focus Point:- While solving maths questions, focus both on speed and accuracy. Focus on your calculations too so that you can solve question quickly. 

5. Practice With Mock Tests:- Attempt one Mock Test, Sectional Test, Topic-wise test and quizzes daily till the last date of the exams. Analyse your every attempted tests to work on your weak areas. 

6. Read Short Notes:- You should read short and factual notes which you have prepared on your own as picking anything new at this moment will not be fruitful for you. 

7. Set an Exam Practice day:- You should test your preparation by going through the previous year's question papers as well as new mock tests based on same pattern. We are providing you with 2017-2020’s previous year question papers in test format along with the proper solution to each question. For mock test based on similar pattern, we have provided 10 sets of Quantitative Aptitude and English Language & Comprehension each prepared by our subject matter experts. 

8. Don’t take Stress:- It’s human nature that we start taking stress before any exam. So to reduce your stress, you can perform meditation which will help you to be calm and enable you to focus on your studies. 

9. Don’t Compare Yourself with Others:- Focus on your preparation, don’t compare yourself with your friends or other competitors. Comparing yourself will demotivate you and this will affect your study schedule.
