• Manage your Time and Speed:

Speed is inversely proportional to time. Hence the faster you solve the problems, the more time you can invest in other problems. Keep a stopwatch close to you while practicing problems so you have knowledge of time consumed in a particular problem. You have only two and a half hour for the exam giving you precisely a minute for each question. The ideal study and break time should be in the proportion of 3:1. Study for 30 minutes and then take a break for 10 minutes. This will help you focus better. Remember time is the key to this exam.

• Creative Study Methods:

Get creative with your studying method. Studying doesn’t necessarily mean sitting with a book in hand, ready to take notes. You can try various studying tools and use them as they suit you. Perfect examples of such study tools are online flashcards, mind maps, flowcharts, mnemonics, online study planners, video, and audio resources. This way you will not get bored of studying for long hours and be interested in studying.

• Mock Tests:

Solve as many mock tests as possible. You get accustomed to the kind of questions asked and have knowledge of the time that you have at hand. Don't solve any mock paper before the day of the exam. Only revise then.

• Maintain Health

Stay away from physical and mental stress and keep a positive attitude towards the preparations. You should take a hygienic, balanced, and timely diet plan. Sleep for at least seven to eight hours daily. Do exercise, sports, meditation, and yoga to stay healthy and calm.
