Stay Away from New Topics

With the exam approaching, never start a new topic. Spend time on revising the topics that you have covered. Starting a new topic at the last minute not only breaks your confidence but also eats up you time to revise the topics prepared earlier.

Have a Strategy

Never start the exam with the first question if you are not confident in that topic. If it is the last question of the last section that you are good at, go for it. Attempting the question that you are good at not only saves your time but also gives you the confidence to answer the rest at a better pace. You can go for the tougher ones after attempting the essay section.

Stay Healthy
