FAQ?
Begin by understanding the exam pattern and syllabus. Create a study schedule and start with topics you find challenging.
The quality of study matters more than quantity. Aim for focused, productive study sessions. It’s better to study effectively for a few hours than to study for long hours without focus.
Having a study timetable can help you stay organized and cover all topics. It also ensures you allocate time to each subject based on its importance.
Break down your study sessions into smaller, manageable chunks. Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing. Ensure you get adequate sleep and take breaks when needed.
