1. The first step here is to create a study plan and stick to it. Structure your study practice during the months and weeks preceding the date of the test. Design a concrete timeline for studies and tests so that you can stay focused on your target.
2. Well, take the time and know the exam pattern, syllabus, topics weightage, and types of questions that are being asked clearly. Thus, it will save you time and effort as you spend only time for the subjects you really need to brush up on.
3. Try to learn from the best quality sources for your preferred subject and use it as a guide. Refer to the old questions and specimens which are available for previous years.
4. Devise annotations, primarily of the formulas, laws, definitions, etc., review them often. Notes recorded in your own words facilitate retaining the information.
5. The past examination questions are extremely helpful. Try as many problems as you can from the earlier years' papers. Remove your concentration on the last minute and start taking mock tests to determine how much you have developed and identify your weaknesses. Adapting to the mode of question and of the examination pretty much is necessary.
