You need to know your weaknesses first to understand your strength. And everyone has specific strengths and weaknesses. Playing to your strengths and sailing through the weaknesses is the best exam strategy you can bet on.
3. Use fewer books for theory
Less is more when referring to books on theory. Having too many books will only lead you to confusion during the time of revision and most of your doubts would remain unresolved without a go to book.
4. Read the questions cautiously
Be cautious while reading the questions. Examiners have a knack to play around with the question and options to know the student’s ability. So read the question carefully to understand what is necessary and pay much attention to the options. Then, watch out for the question having multiple correct answers and you are supposed to choose multiple correct answers.
5. Practice previous year papers
Previous year’s question papers are actual questions which have appeared. So practice them in same time slot as your final exam. Then check your scores. This will build up your confidence level and you will also know which area you need to focus on more.
6. Stay physically and mentally balanced
You might neglect to keep yourself and your mind healthy during exam preparation but it can have adverse effects in the final outcome. So, exercise daily and sleep well to keep your body fresh while giving the exam.
7. Practice, practice, practice.
Finally, there is no substitute for practice. Seventy percent of exam preparation is practice. Use this time very effectively.
