To succeed in any exam, it is important to have a preparation strategy in place. A flawless preparation strategy will help you understand how to approach the various subjects, identify strengths and weaknesses, work on them and consequently score well.
Here are some tips that you need to keep in mind while devising your preparation strategy:
Stick to a Timetable
Being systematic always helps in keeping ourselves organized. Formulating a timetable will help you understand the framework of your preparation clearly. A timetable will ensure that you prepare systematically, without missing out on important topics and chapters.
Hence, it is not only important to make an effective timetable but also follow it till the end. This also helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses which is extremely important to understand how you should allocate your time to different subjects. For instance, once you know the areas where you are weak, you can always dedicate more time towards those areas and turn them into your strengths.
Take Mock Exams
Mock exams are another way to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Not only this, but mock exams also serve many purposes. They help you work on your speed so that you can answer as many questions as possible and do not face lack of time on the D-Day. They also help you understand how much time needs to be given to each question to attempt maximum questions successfully. Thus, taking mock exams will help you get the experience of the exam and work on your preparation in a holistic manner.
Daily Revisions
We all know it is important to prepare all topics in-depth and grasp as much about them as possible to be confident before taking the examination. However, it is equally important to keep revising the topics that you have already prepared. Many a time, we tend to ignore revisions and continue to focus only on preparing new topics well. Revising consistently will result in increased confidence as well as fluency on every topic. We often tend to miss the fact that with every revision, we usually gain some new information about the topic which can be helpful for us.
Hence, it is important to make a separate timetable for revisions so that you do not miss out any topic. This will help you be on top of your preparation strategy.
Take Time-out
While it is important to keep studying and working hard so that you achieve your goal, it is equally important to take breaks or take time off studies. This helps in relaxing your mind. Engaging in recreational activities for 1-2 hours every day will keep you calm and also help you focus better while studying. After all, only work and no play is not just ineffective but can also result in information overload for you i.e. gathering too much information which becomes difficult for our brain to handle.
So, instead of putting too much pressure on yourself, you should take a step back from studies for a few hours every day and do something that you enjoy such as painting, playing sports, reading a book, singing, listening to music, etc.
Now that you have some tips up your sleeve, you can continue your preparation in full swing.
All the Best!
