Practice with previous years/sample papers

Aspirants can write short forms, formulas or abbreviations so that they do not need to go through entire syllabus again. This will also ensure that all topics are covered and not even a single topic has to be compromised. The short notes should be crisp and in bulleted points, as topics prepared in such a manner will be easier to notice and therefore convenient during revision.

Maintain a dedicated notebook for formulas and shortcut tricks, especially for Mathematics and Physics numericals, to aid quick revision.

Revise wisely

After completing each topic from syllabus of AEEE, candidates are advised to keep at least one month or two for revision. However, do not spend much time on it as it might impact your preparation. Revision at this stage should be quick and try to cover syllabus by covering each chapter. Take help from short notes that you made during preparation.

Rather, it is advised to dedicate time to revise units, topics and what you have already studied so far. In last week, candidates should be determined and very subjective in terms of syllabus to be revised. You should study only those topics which are weak and need improvement.

Take necessary breaks

It is not a very good idea to pressure yourself during preparation. Include stress busters whenever you feel burdened. Watch your favourite television show, go for a movie, a small outing or play your favourite indoor or outdoor games. Always remember, stress will never gain marks in exam, so better to try avoiding it.
