3. Planning

A lot of students believe it not necessary to strategize how they are going to study. They think that they will study whatever is possible and leave the rest. But, this is not a smart approach.

You are working hard towards building a bright future. Why do you want to compromise on something less?

Make a plan, and then start studying accordingly. Whenever you lose hopes or whenever you don’t feel like studying this plan will motivate you to proceed further.

Here are some tips to prepare a plan:

1.) Fix a day to start studying. It is today or never. Don’t put forth your plans. If you plan to start today, don’t push it to tomorrow.

2.) The number of hours you plan to study in a day.

3.) Which are your weak subjects? Dedicate more time for these.

4.) How do you plan to work on those practice papers?

4. Last minute preparation

When it comes to preparing at the very last moment before the exam, there are mainly two aspects:

One, that if you study something entirely new just minutes before the exam, there is a high chance of forgetting it.

And two, if you study something you have already studied but faced difficulty in remembering, then you might be able to recollect it.

But we highly recommend you to keep your books away the moment you reach the exam center. Just be confident about your preparation and face the exam bravely.

Also, before the exam begins, take a few deep breaths. Inhale and exhale and close your eyes in a deep prayer for a minute.

Relax ! It’s going to be okay.

5. Success matters

Focus on your learning system. It does not matter how you reach your goals.

All that matters is whether your present learning methods will take you to your goals or not.

You can use any of the methods you find easy to learn, but whatever you do, the focus is important.

Don’t forget your goal is to achieve success and pass your GATE exams with flying colors.
