lot. Many students fail in getting a seat in their dream College in spite of getting a good coaching classes
because they do not follow the right way of doing self study. Here we are sharing few tips which we will
really help you a lot while preparing for your examination.
- If you don’t want to study a lot in your home then do focus in your class
Many students do not pay attention while the lectures are delivered in the class just because of this they
lack concept clarity. They take more time in understanding them through reading the books and also
they consume more time while doing the homework problems. If a student is well attentive in the class
then he not only saves his time in the home study but also able to solve the homework problems in
lesser time. They utilize the remaining time for revision or more problem solving. - Solution to all of your problems exist in your class notes
Your class notes which you make are the best part of your preparation. You should go through it first.
Take a quick review of all the concepts taught in that day, note down all important formula and key
concepts in a separate formula or short note copy. You should also reattempt all those problems which
were taken in the class, hide the solution part while reattempting them. When you have solved the
class problems, then match your solution with the solution available in your class notes. Try to figure
out the mistakes if you have made any and work on them also if you find any difficulty in understanding
the concepts consult your teacher immediately the next day . - Be time specific in solving problems at home
While solving problems at home always try to be time specific and have a feel of the real exam. The
time crunch we face in exams is mainly because of the lack of time bounded practice. JEE or NEET is a
time crucial examination and one always needs time management capability to crack these exams.
Solving DPPs, modules in a time bounded manner will help you to develop that time management
strategy for the final exam and help you to tackle the time crunch in the final exam. After the end of
the allotted time now work on those questions, which you were not able to solve. This time you can
spend more time on these problems. - Make time for revision
Many students lost all of their time in doing the current day homework and many of them are still not
able to finish them. So where is the time for revision? Without proper revision routine, you will not be
able to achieve good results. Remember the number of times you revise a topic, your confidence in that
particular topic also gets multiplied by that number of times. We will share the best revision strategy in

seriously as the main exam which you will face. Give your 100% in all these test. After a test is over,
