DO'S:

Plan your study well. (Confidence & Continuity, Concentration, Revision & Group discussion).Things are volatile! Search & collect.Try to mark points in books while 1st reading and it make 2nd reading short and simple. If time permits plz go through other least important topics also to minimise the risk factor. Read classifications daily otherwise it will be difficult to recall at the time of exam.

Don’ts:

Don’t panic at the time of exam. Don’t go for answer directly, Cross wrong options 1st.so read all options 1st. Don’t leave question without reading & thinking about it. Match the pairs are best ones to solve so begin with it, it will boost your confidence. Never fumble & change answers in last mins. Of exam . Don’t attempt the question if you are having no idea about it or it will lead to unnecessary negative marking.
