If your roots are strong, you can almost tackle any question. As the questions get tougher your conceptual understanding and application will have to improve as well. For this, practice is a must. Start with small and easy fundamental concepts and then move to questions that are an amalgamation of many.<\/li>\n<li>Second Important strategy is to keep in mind the limit constraints and the pressure that awakens during your final exam, If a question takes 1 minute in the final exam, you should be able to complete it in 45 seconds during your practice tests. Practice your mocks and questions with time limits.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, Revision is extremely crucial. This has two parts to it, first revise your concepts and what you learnt last night every morning or each day before starting the next set of studies.\u00a0 Secondly, revise your answers before submitted the exam as well. Leave 1 minute before each question to quickly run through the answers and calculations. This helps you avoid a negative marking.<\/li>\n<li>Set your timetable. Making your own schedule and following through helps you track your own journey. This should be based on your best time of productivity. It is seen often that one should use the most productive time of the day for the most difficult subjects or one that require more concentration that the other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Know your own strengths and weakness. This can happen only when you have started to practice questions that you become aware of your own areas of weakness. Revise the areas of weakness more often and do not waste time on concepts that you are already positive about. Set extra time aside for the same and use multiple resources on weaker areas.
