Before beginning to prepare, know the target well. Go through the detailed syllabus, previous years’ question papers, and paper pattern, cut off for every stage of the examination and analyze them. This will reduce your time and effort to a great extent and will be your guide for success in the exam.

  • Plan! Plan! Plan!

After setting up the goal start planning. Make a detailed schedule; set a timeline for every subject and plan for every hour. So, you don’t deviate from the track. This will help you judge your performance and how far you have reached in your preparations.

  • Diversify Your Learning:

Don’t just stick to one source for your preparation. This doesn’t mean reading whatever sources are available go through everything and end up learning nothing. Diversify the type of sources i.e. for a topic go through the reference books for understanding the basics, read newspapers for any current updates, go through infographics, diagrams and flow charts to better retention of information and better presentation of answers in the examination.

  • Join Study Group:

If you are comfortable, join some study group or form a group with your friends who have the same goals as you. This will not only help you keep track of your studies but will also develop a spirit of healthy competition.

However, don’t just memorize but, understand a concept; this will increase the retention period and effectiveness of the study.

  • Test Yourself:

Take practice tests at a regular interval to judge your preparedness for the exam. Join a yearlong test series and synchronize your studies with the schedule of the test series. You may even write answers for the daily practice questions or take daily quizzes available regularly. 

Attempting previous years’ question papers is also beneficial as it helps you understand the exact demand and the level of difficulty for questions asked in the examination. Go through the previous years’ question papers available on BYJU’S Exam Prep. This will improve your score by many folds.

  • Reward Yourself:
