5.Important Study materials and Internet:

In this competing world, it is very difficult to choose the right thing. So a candidate has to choose the right study materials from book shops or the internet. The Internet is a very vast source to collect information but the problem is, a lot of information at times can confuse the candidates about which to choose and from where to prepare.

6.Time Management:

This is the most important key a candidate has to know. Sometimes the candidates are able to solve all kinds of questions but due to lack of time management cannot it leads to failure. It is important to do smart work with efficiency. For time management a candidate should be aware of which question to attempt and which to not so that he scores the maximum. This decision making comes with a lot of practice

7. Take your Priority:

Candidates should select the sections their priority. If a question seems easy and less time consuming, it must be attempted first. The questions which seem easy but are calculative in nature should be solved later.

8.No new topic during the last week of the exam:

It is good to read, practice, and revise the topic which you are through with. But don’t go for the new topics during the last time of the exam because that creates confusion. It is very difficult to remember the topics without proper revision.

9.Prepare self notes:

Everyone has a different level of capacity for capturing, understanding, and perusing the information. So it is always better for a candidate to prepare their notes. Notes always help in last-minute preparation and the candidate does not have to go through the syllabus again and again
