Study Plan

The candidates have to make use of the available time in a sensible manner. Divide the entire portions into smaller sections as it is very easy to cover all the portions this way. This helps the students to develop confidence in them and thus enables the students to answer all the questions in a better way. In order to get rid of the nervousness before the exam eve the candidates have to make sure that they have covered all the topics for the next day’s examination thoroughly without any fail. Take short breaks in between while you study as it helps in increasing the concentration. For the purpose of improving the language, the candidates have to start reading the news papers as well as magazines. Start this at the earliest as it takes some time to improve one’s language skills.
