  • Create Time Table: Start off by creating a time table. A schedule and a plan is rock solid. Create a daily, weekly and monthly plan as to how much syllabus you can cover in a day, including solving sample papers and question papers. Sticking to a timetable is effective and allows you to stick to your plan of completing the syllabus in time. Be it 8 to 10 hours or 12 hours a day, plan out how much study material you can cover. A timetable will help you cover the syllabus well in time before the entrance exam. 
  • Solve Sample Papers and Question Papers: If you manage to get hold of the previous years' question papers of the course in the SHIATS Entrance Exam, you can understand the question format, the sections, the weightage of marks, the way the questions are formed, and which topics are given more importance. Solve sample papers as well. The best way to challenge yourself is by answering the question paper according to the duration of the entrance exam. In this way, you are well prepared on how to manage time at the entrance exam. For example, English grammar requires simple thinking, but Mathematics requires calculation and time to think as well. 
  • Get Prep Books and Guides: It is advisable to get few prep books to know more about the course. It will help you understand the topics and subjects better and how you can explain your answers. 
  • Revision: Once you finish your studies for the day, revise as much as you can. Jot down notes, pointers as it will help you remember the study material better. There is no point revising the entire syllabus before the main day, as it only causes confusion and of stuffing of material. 
  • Rest: Get as much rest as you can. One cannot be tired and study, as information does not register. Get proper rest as you can, and take naps in between if required. Don't hold back, as you need a fresh and energised mind to study properly.
