Study Plan

As there is no specified syllabus for this test, understand the pattern by which the examination is conducted. According to that prepare for the exam. Newspaper and magazines will be very helpful for increasing knowledge in general awareness and current affairs. There will be books available for these subjects online.  Also these types of books by different authors are published by many publishers. After collecting these books, students should make a study plan depending on the topics. If the topics are big and difficult spend more time for that. Try to study those topics first before going to easy topics. Thus students can utilize their time efficiently. While preparing for a competitive exam, time is the most important thing which needs to be taken care of by the student.

An improper time management will negatively affect the studies. So while allocating time for each topic, make sure it depend on the correct requirement of each topic. Within a limited time students needs to study different types of topics. Concentrating on a single topic each day will not help student to finish all topics in time. Students may complete their studies without touching many topics because of this. So keep a target each day with different topics. Try to meet that target each day within specified time. Studying for a long time without interval will stress mind. As stressed mind cannot study better, take intervals while studying.
