Give yourself enough rest and time to revise as well in the schedule. Preparation works well according to plan. 
• Solve Previous Year's Question Papers: The best way to know and understand the entrance exam is by solving the previous years' question papers. Through a previous year entrance exam question paper, one can understand the exam pattern, marking scheme and the type of questions that can come in the entrance exam. Solve the question papers and test your abilities.
• Revision: Once you have prepared, it’s time to revise what you have studied. By revising, you can remember better what you have studied. For example, if you have opted for History, dates are the most important part of the subject. By revising, you understand what you have studied better.
• Get Prep Books: Get as many prep books as you can according to the course applied for. Through prep books, one can get more information that is not mentioned in the prescribed syllabus which can be helpful in understanding the topic. Prep books also test you through questions related to topics covered in the question paper. Get at least two to three prep books.
