Effective Preparation Tips Around the Schedule
1. Follow a study plan aligned with the phases
During the Foundation phase, concentrate on building conceptsread standard textbooks and make short notes. Use the sectional tests as checkpoints.
2. Review each mock thoroughly
After a mock, allocate at least 90minutes to analyse every wrong answer. Note down why the chosen option was incorrect and revisit the theory.
3. Simulate exam conditions
Close all browsers, keep a timer, and sit at a desk similar to a real centre. This habit reduces anxiety on the actual day.
4. Strengthen speed in the quantitative section
Practice mental calculation tricks and shortcut methods for data sufficiency and arithmetic. Timed drills (510minutes per set) are highly effective.
5. Keep current affairs updated
Dedicate 30minutes daily to reading reputable newspapers, government releases, and monthly currentaffairs compilations. The January sectional test will specifically target this area.
6. Take care of health
Maintain a balanced diet, short breaks between study sessions, and regular sleep patterns. Physical fitness reflects in mental stamina during long exams.
