Here are given some Smart-Study Tips to cover the entire syllabus of the given subjects and prepare for the examination -

Make an Efficient Daily-Study Chart:

At the very first step, you need to understand the exam pattern and syllabus. Check out the marks-weightage of each section and then prepare your daily study-plan. Tick the topics in the syllabus which you are well-aware of. Also, write down the most important topics in your notebook. Your study plan must include a minimum of two subjects every day. You can divide it either hour-wise or by morning-evening wise. 

Cover the Syllabus Smartly:

‘Time Management’ is the vital factor you need to focus upon. Whether your exam is a year away or a month, in either case, you have to do your best to cover the syllabus, as much as you can. Well, in the case of a month, you will only be able to cover the most important topics. Take care of the following points-

• Work harder on your weaker areas.
• Master the stronger sections of the syllabus.
• Practice for the English Language for a minimum of 2 hours on a daily basis.
• Read the daily newspapers to learn about current affairs.
• Do not leave anything for later, cover everything as per the daily schedule.

Concept-Based Learning:

The competitive examinations are the means to test the management skills and intelligence of the candidates. That is why, it is important to learn the logic and concept behind the questions, rather than cramming the formulas. Once you get the logic than it will be wise to use the short-tricks.

Maintain Your Self-Confidence:

Some students prefer their own ‘copyrighted’ weird ways of self-study, instead of well-planned and scheduled strategies. Well, if you are also one of them then relax and go ahead, whatever the method of study is, till it is fine with you, it does not matter. There comes a time when you feel exhausted which can be due to lack of proper guidance or the stress of incomplete syllabus, but you need to stay confident. 

Always remember that ‘It is not the destination that matters but the journey’. Maybe you fail in one exam but your knowledge will not fail you and you will get selected in one of the exams ultimately. Keep your spirit high, revise the topics you have completed already and attend the examination with full confidence.

Digital Study Success:

Today’s world is full of opportunities. One can never lack if he/she has appropriate study-material. You don’t even need any coaching; all you have to do is Online Study with full dedication. You can learn each and every topic through online video lectures. 

The best way to learn things is to take a test. Solve practice papers and mock tests after completing a particular topic and get to know where you stand in this competition.

Revise Frequently:

Revise, revise more and repeat!! This is the key to learn new things. General Awareness is the subject which requires revision every day. Well, I remember when I was preparing for banking exams, whenever I tried to complete a chapter, I could not remember things even till the evening. You need to revise your GK notes every day because it is more difficult than the other subjects.

Write down the most important logics, short tricks, GK facts, etc. in your notebook and go through it, right a day before the examination. Also, do not try to grab anything new before the exam. Make strong to your tough topics with the revised again if have time in your exam.
