As this entrance exam is very competitive, students should start their preparation as earlier as possible. They should set up a time table for studying. They should utilize this time table for studying the topics divided into smaller sections. Much of the available time can be saved by this. While studying, keep a target for each day. Try to finish that target by utilizing the time available in each day. Select a calm environment to study to improve concentration. Revise the topic once in a week. Include that time for revision in the time table. Students will get thorough understanding on the topic by revising it. Go through the text books which explain the concepts in a simple manner.
