Revise tricky topics and formulas: Quick revision before the exam is important. No matter how much hard work is put in for exam preparation, the result will be based on how well topics are revised. Make a list of important topics, shortcut tricks, and formulas that need to revise ahead of the exam.
Avoid learning new topics: Covering a new topic in the last hour can create confusion or lower confidence level of the candidate. Therefore, it is advised that the candidates should not pick new topics. They should rather focus on their strengths and revise topics already covered.
