1. Revision: Isn’t it annoying when you learn something by heart and end up forgetting the concept on the day of the exam? It usually happens when you do not revise your subjects, especially a few days before the exam. The best way to revise any topic is to solve as many questions as possible related to it.
2. Attempt sample papers and previous year question papers of IISER: Solving the IISER previous year question paper will not only boost your confidence level but also help you know the frequently asked questions. With a couple of days still to go, you can easily attempt at least two to three question papers. Devote the remaining time to work on your areas.
3. Find your weak areas where you need to focus more. It can only be found when you resolve the IISER sample papers and previous year papers. After you know your weak points, focus more on these when you prepare for the notes and solve the IISER sample papers.
4: Do not start new topics during your revision time; it is better to revisit what you have already studied. Starting a new topic at the revision time may create confusion. Study more important topics at this time and solve questions related to these topics.
