**** Manage your time efficiently and I would recommend you to use POMODORO technique while studying, POMODORO is nothing but a slab of 30 minutes in which you study for 25 minutes and take a break of 5 minutes. After 4-5 POMODORO slabs take a long 30 minutes break. During break do whatever you like to do, so that your mind gets recharged.

**** Practice previous year's question papers and sample papers as many as you can because it will enhance your self-confidence and time management skill.
