It is very important for you to practice previous year question papers as much as possible because from there you will get clarity about the exam pattern and what kind of questions are framed and asked.

Make a timetable that can be followed by you on strictly basis so that you can manage your other things with your study.

Download the syllabus and accordingly divide the topics each day which are going to cover and complete each topic that is set by you for that day.


Have faith on yourself.

Exam like APFC are not taken regularly , it becomes difficult to find proper books for preparation as there are candidates who also prepare simultaneously for UPSC, State PSC, Bank , SSC etc so the competitive level is very high .

* You need to have your basic concepts clear.Dont look for shortcuts.

** The general studies manual ( THM, UNIQUE, SPECTRUM ) are quite expensive and are mainly for UPSC exam, and the entire manual is not relevant for APFC exam , so it's better to borrow it from someone or try to get an old copy.
