With less than 3 months left for the Common Admission Test, it is important to make optimal use of your time.

You have to plan out your daily schedule at first so it is advised you focus on study plan than routine plan. Also the routine may vary as it varies if you are a student or a working candidate.

Aim certain topics and chapters to complete daily or weekly and plan accordingly.

Start with previous year papers and analyse your perfromance that in which sections you find it difficult and which are good for you.

1. You can adapt and change the plan based on your convenience.
2. In your plan try to give more time to your weak area and less time to your strong area.
3. As far as possible try to be ahead of the schedule. So if your had planned to complete Chapter 2 during the week, try and start with Chapter 3 also during the week.

Hope you get the point.

Good luck!
