  2. Regular Practice : Solve previous years’ question papers and take mock tests to improve speed, accuracy, and familiarity with the exam pattern.

  3. Time Management : Practice solving questions within set time limits. Use timers to simulate exam conditions and learn to allocate time effectively.

  4. Revision Plan : Regularly revise important topics and formulas to retain key concepts. Plan monthly, weekly, and daily revisions.

  5. Weakness Analysis : Identify weak areas early and work on them consistently. Strengthening weak topics improves overall performance.
