Study Plan for the HPMT entrance exam

Time management is more important for preparing and writing the exam. Students must make sure that they allot time equally for all the given subjects. As the test requires intense concentration, the students must prepare every topic thoroughly. If they start preparing earlier, the more time they will get to finish their other portions. For more help on these subjects, the students can refer guides or the internet; they can also study as groups with their friends. One thing the students must always keep in their minds is to never attempt questions they do not know. As negative marking is there in this exam, they will be unknowingly leading themselves to low scores.
