Revise thoroughly

Revision is key. Whatever has been read from the syllabus, that needs to be revised regularly so that it remains in your mind for a longer time. Revising from notes gives you an edge. Make a strategy for the revision, like choose revision of lengthy topic with smaller one or comparatively boring topic with an interesting one.
