Study Plan

The best method to study is to be systematic in everything. You need to have your skills sharpened and honed to your finest level. As this exam can turn out to be very much competitive, you will need all your skills in your studies to succeed with very good marks. One other thing you need to have is good skills in verbal communication.

To achieve all this, you can enroll yourself with some leading coaching classes or study by yourself. It is recommended studying under the guidance of a teacher. Unless you cover all your bases you won’t be able to comprehend what is needed and what is not. Another good option available for all students is to purchase question papers of the preceding years and practice on this. Besides this, several mock test papers will be hosted by several websites. Students can practice on this too. By doing so, you will become more familiar with the syllabus of the exam and the paper won’t turn out to be as much frightening as you expected.
