- In the last week of your preparations, all you need to focus on is the revision. By now, you must be aware of your strong and weak areas in various subjects. Considering the weightage of the subjects you must revise again to strengthen your key concepts.
- Avoid starting new topics, it’s not the time to start new topics so avoid any such activity and focus only on your strengths. Instead, revise important formulas.
- Practice online mock tests to get a better understanding of the expected questions. These time-bound tests will help you keep track of the time required by you to answer each question. These tests will help to know the mistakes made by you while attempting the question paper and avoid them on the exam day. Doing so will boost your morale.
- Make sure to track down the route to your exam centre. Keeping in mind the unexpected traffic conditions start 30 minutes before the scheduled time. This will ensure that you reach the exam centre with a calm mind.
- Manage your time well during the exam. Keep track of time while attempting questions during the exam. If you find that you have devoted extra time to a section, do not panic. Just calm down, modify your earlier plan of solving the paper, and follow that. Always seek to maximise the score. Do not get disturbed if you find that your plan is not going according to design.
- Beware of the negative marking during the exam. Attempt the question only when fully sure.
- Eating well and sleeping on time is mandatory. Never skip meals as this will leave you weak and low on concentration due to self-imposed hunger.
Have confidence in yourself and follow your preparation schedule religiously. Keep your cool, especially in the examination hall because fear and tension may make you forget everything. You will score well for sure.
