Hello

The most important criterion is dedicating a major chunk of your day to studying. You cannot suddenly jump to studying for 9-10 hours a day if you were studying 3-4 hours earlier. You will find it too big of a change and will get distracted easily. Try the following tips to ease into a more focused routine, and up the number of hours of study:

• In the first week, try to cut down the time spent on other activities by around 2-3 hours (Is there a hobby you love way too much? Do you step-out to meet your friends and realise that time just flew by? Start by analysing your daily routine and cutting down some activities)
• In the next week, try and see if you can further cut down the time spent in extra-curricular activities by another 2 hours
• Repeat the process and to increase  your study time from 3-4 hours to 6-7 hours and in next week or after 2 weeks scale up to around 9 to 10 hours a day

After you have learned how to find the time to study, the next aspect is managing this time efficiently. A proper strategy to start would be studying with complete concentration, no disturbances, and continuously for 3-hour sessions. Yes, we know the thought itself sounds alien to you, but you have to start somewhere. The idea is to simulate real exam conditions. While studying, you have to create an atmosphere of sitting in an examination hall. While doing this, avoid doing any of the following during the 3-hour study session:

• Studying while lying down, or in bed. To avoid the temptation of taking a quick snooze, study at a desk or if you don’t have one, sit in a chair and use an old trunk as a make-shift desk.
• Getting up from your desk during the 3-hours study session.  Keep a bottle of water next to you so that you don’t need to get up to have a drink of water. These small distractions can add up, and then eat their way into your study-time.
• Listening to music while studying. While a lot of students claim they can multi-task, the efficiency of retaining that information can be affected if you listen to your favourite tracks while studying. The mind can wander, and if you have a habit of studying while listening to some music, try and slowly reduce the duration of listening to music or replace it with some instrumental music you’ve never heard. 

Best of luck 

I hope it will help you 

Good luck ...
