reading a particular theory. To gain a better understanding of each concept you
should be able to question every concept you are reading. Questioning a concepts
will always help you to widen your understanding, thus, help you to make
perfect in solving various twisted questions based on the same theory. You will
never be able to solve complex problems if you focus on simply mugging
concepts.

Learning
various solving methods
I will suggest you to solve same question using multiple methods instead
of solving 100 of question of same topic. This will help you to learn
alternative methods of approaching a problem. In the actual paper, there will
be time limit to solve a paper, so having various approaching method will save
your time by choosing time saving method to get through particular question.

revision
Don’t revise too much, once you are through with a chapter, revise it
thoroughly but make sure you are not spending more than 2-3 hours on the
revision. Revising questions on the topic from reference books will help you
immediately understand the concepts you have just studied.
6.
Manage your
Time Efficiently
No matter how many efforts you put in solving many papers, unless you do
not utilize your time effectively, you will never be able to complete and
practice in time. Allot a definite time to various chapters, revision, and
practice. You can make use of time management apps to track time require for
the preparation.

attempting actual exam. Maximize your benefits from these mock papers by reviewing
what you have solved. Try to learn from the mistakes made in the mock revise
the section in which you are making mistakes regularly.
Whenever you are solving a paper, try to analyse the questions or
chapters you are facing a problem with and the areas you are quick to solve.
After attempting mock test, you will have a list of your strong areas as well
as the topics that require more attention. Utilize these insights to work on
the weak areas to get better.
