• Dont ever stick to your revision books because they may not contain answers in detail. Revisions are just note of main points that you should remember in each topic. (Refer it at the end of your preparation)
• Sample questions are not the sample of your existing exam paper. Hence use sample papers only to test yourself as mock testing.
• Don't refer all the subjects on the same day. Instead table out equal timings for all the subjects and if required Mathematics may have extra day time for solving purpose.
• Please note: To follow all the tips students need to make realistic targets for themselves. They should not try to overdo things like trying to study everything in a single day (As mentioned above). As students tend to get hyper quickly, they should avoid it and try to divide courses according to their own capacity.
