The initial step towards your preparation for any competitive examination is to know and understand the pre-requisites for the examination. You must in detail scan through the syllabus of the exam (you can get that easily on the Internet). Besides the syllabus, you must make a note of the marks criteria of different subjects, so that you can plan your preparation accordingly. Going through a few previous years’ questions papers assists to get an idea about the exam pattern.<\/p>\n
1. Create and follow a time table<\/strong> Few points that you should consider while making a time table are:<\/strong><\/p>\n To make a time table is easy, but following it, in the same manner, is a more challenging part. Do not procrastinate; the tasks decided for today must not be delayed to tomorrow.<\/p>\n 2. Focus on concepts – No rote learning<\/strong> 3. Self-evaluation is very important<\/strong> You should consider a few points while writing sample papers:<\/strong><\/p>\n 4. Be positive and confident<\/strong>
\nOnce you understand ‘What to prepare?’ then\u00a0it’s time to plan ‘How to prepare?’ Create a time-table with both short-term as well as long-term goals that would help you in timely preparation for the exam. A time table makes you more disciplined towards your study pattern and helps you in getting rid of haphazardness.<\/p>\n\n
\nFocus on understanding the concepts all over your preparation. Do not try to adopt rote learning technique. Understanding helps you to easily remember the concepts and that too for a very long period of time. Furthermore, with a precise understanding of the concepts, you can easily handle questions related to those concepts.
\nYou can also make your own memory tips or innovative acronyms to remember formula or equations or difficult terminologies. You should always make certain short notes in your own way, as they help you to revise easily, a few days before the exam.<\/p>\n
\nStudying alone doesn’t complete your preparation. You have to evaluate yourself time-to-time for effective preparation. You should opt to write sample papers for the competitive exam you are preparing for.<\/p>\n\n
\n‘Belief’ is an extremely powerful tool. You must trust in yourself and your preparation. Make sure that you study the same way throughout the year, to avoid last minute hurry and stress. Before going off to sleep, spend 10-15 minutes to quickly recap all that you learnt throughout the day.
\nA little bit of physical activity and meditation helps to improve concentration. Do not take stress throughout the entire preparation time; in fact you must stay away from stressful people also. Each and every moment you must remind yourself by saying” I Can, I Will” and trust me you will do it!
