- Prepare a timetable- As per the topics, students should prepare a realistic timetable. Allocate time to the topics as per your strengths and weakness and their weightage. Make the schedule by keeping providing alternate time schedules for practical and theory subjects. The whole syllabus should be divided into small topics.
- Revision- A lot of times, candidates face the issue of not being able to retain the topics that they have prepared for. In order to avoid this at the last minute, candidates should make time in their timetable for regular revisions of the topics that they have studied. This will help you to retain the topics that you have studied.
