- Make up your mind

- Chalk out a good study plan
- Do not micromanage
- Take short breaks
- Get enough sleep
Make up your mind
Before starting the preparation, candidates must have it in their mind that “They can do it”. A student must believe that he/she deserves a good score and that doing all the things mentioned below will help them in it. Without this nothing you ever try is going to be effective.
Make MHT CET preparation your primary focus
Preparing for the exam in a month is possible if a student dedicates all of his/her time left for it. With the volume of MHT CET Syllabus candidates have to cover, they need to dedicate almost 10-12 hours in a day to prepare well for the exam. Aspirants may need to cut down TV/Social Media/Meeting friends and any other distraction. Spend this one month focusing on the MHT CET 2020 preparation.
Chalk out a good study plan
The month ahead is very crucial and preparing for the exam is very tough but not impossible. Candidates need proper planning keeping in mind that you should not miss a topic and you have to revise the entire MHT CET 2020 syllabus as well. Without planning, it will be impossible for any student to clear the exam. Decide what to study, which material to use and at what time so that you can focus on just studies. Keep yourself focused and avoid any kind of deviations. However, planning is not only an important thing but executing it and keep working as per the plan is important.
Do not micromanage
Just split the time left equally among all the subjects but do not micromanage with respect to how much you have to cover in a certain time. Just set study hours daily, start accordingly, maintain it and be focused.
Take short breaks
Do not sit for very long while studying. Take short breaks at regular intervals but do not engage yourself anything more strenuous. Take a walk, meditate, drink water, or have some snacks. Consciously choose to stay away from anything that has the history of throwing you off track.
Get enough sleep
Set a time for sleep and create a routine. It is necessary as, after long hours of study, your brain will need rest. In case of not having enough sleep, one can’t study the next day which will automatically break your routine of study. Sleep is very important for your brain to function adequately. You can also prepare at home with MHT CET mock tests and online lecture videos
