We at M B Patil Education have curated a list of
tips and tricks that can be religiously followed
to ensure that you, as a student, dont lose your
cool and focus during this crucial period of your
life. Make sure you know your exam thoroughly.
Yes, the advice is generic and obvious. However,
quite often, students are too focused on the
academics and syllabus part of the preparation
that they actually forget to cover the technical
aspects of the paper. For example, the duration,
4
the dates, the pattern of the paper, how much
time should be devoted to every question you are
attempting and so on. Make sure you dont forget
to include these while planning your strategy for
the examination.
Are you practising effective time management?
This isnt just applicable for your study hours
but also for your strategy of time allocation in
the examination hall. By now, we are sure that
you are managing your time effectively with
regard to the study hours. Make sure you divide
your time according to the portions of study you
are covering/completing, instead of counting the
number of hours you have invested. Take mock
5
tests by yourself and time yourself on these
tests to understand the amount of time you are
spending on each section of the syllabus. Do not
forget to spare some time for revision. Every
expert exam guide or counsellor suggests this.
You never know what you might forget!
Dont be a rote learner. Yes, at times this can
be an effective learning method but this should
not be your strategy of learning. You need to
ensure conceptual clarity of all the subjects
that you are studying. If the core concepts are
clear, learning becomes easier. This helps you
keep command of what you choose to learn and what
you choose to leave since you will then have a
solid basis for your choice.

Those notes and the constant scribbling in your
notebook will save you. Your personal notes that
you make while studying and during any lecture
will save your soul not only while preparing but
while revising too. Make notes in pointers, use
small flashcards, make flow charts in your
notebook, etc to make sure that your material is
organized and ready to be absorbed by you while
studying. The quality of notes should be such
that it becomes your Magna Carta for any subject
or topic preparation.
7
Set smart goals and daily goals for studying.
Make sure you dont abandon the habit of daily
studying to keep the rhythm going. Losing even a
single day can put you out of practice and
difficult for you to get back on track. If daily
focus is posing problems, set short-term goals
that can be easily met and increase the magnitude
of those goals steadily and slowly. Expert career
counseling suggests that this is a sure-shot way
of cracking any exam and instilling discipline.

Identify your weaknesses and strengths. Offline
and online education consultants are great
helpers when it comes to this. They help you
recognize and analyze your strong subjects and
weak subjects. Aspects of your academic record
that can make it or break it for you. Recognize
these and strategize your preparations
accordingly. Divide your time and resources based
on this. If easy distractions or long study hours
are a weakness, you can set goals for the day for
yourself accordingly. Make sure you identify
these first to act on them.

M B Patil Education is a big supporter of
motivating thoughts and deems them extremely
necessary to land the college of your dreams.
Losing faith becomes easy, quitting seems like a
viable option, and laziness can easily creep up.
But you need to remind yourself of your dream and
your purpose. During such times, it is important
to practise the activities that make you calm and
happy. A nice beverage, a long walk, listening to
music, watching a fun flick and then applying
yourself back again with more effort. Recuperate,
motivate and achieve. Stay physically fit. We
cannot stress enough about the importance of
physical fitness during your preparation. Yoga or
exercise helps you compose yourself and restore
physical balance, which in turn refreshes your
mind and helps you focus better and keep you
active. Good diet and good sleep should be your
constant companions. After all, you can appear
for any exam if you are physically fit. M B
Patil Education believes in expert and holistic
growth of every student to achieve their dream
college and dream career. This is why it is
deemed to be as one of the best organizations
for career guidance in Pune. The list we have
