- Do not try to learn new topics which were not touched before. This will only add to your confusion.
- From the previous year papers, you will get an idea of the topics which are important. Focus on those instead of unimportant topics.
- Be comfortable in making your diagrams and notes to understand the subject; mostly importantly the reasoning section.
- Know which subjects/areas you are good at, and in where all improvement is needed. Keep revising the subjects even when you are done with it.
