It is essential that you get ample time to sleep    - a fresh and healthy brain works much better than a tired one. Eat healthy - your diet should consist of nutrients more than calories.

Coaching Classes/Group Studies – Joining Coaching classes or being a part of a group gives an advantage to continuously stay in touch with the studies. It also gives you the advantage of discussing you problem with others and finding various solutions.

Previous Question Papers – Start solving previous years’ question papers on a regular basis, noting your scores, and checking out whether you are showing a progressive improvement or not.

Don't Stress – Stressing out will only keep you away from your goal. If you follow a proper plan there shouldn’t be a reason for stress.

Study Everyday – Studying everyday will keep you up to date with your syllabus. Do not leave things for the last minute. This will increase your stress and that is something you don’t want. Solve mathematical problems every day.
