Important tips:
• You need to practice a whole lot of solved
papers that are available online and you can
also buy solved papers from the market as
well.
• During the exam you need to solve the
easy questions first so that you can find
time to solve hard question later.
• Try to keep your cool and keep a watch on
the time.
• If you are stuck up with a question, then
leave the question and move on to the next
one. But later, make sure that you are giving
attempt to all the left out questions.
• Try concentrating on the logics of
concepts, rather memorizing the formulas
and procedures. Develop your own
methodologies to solve a problem.
