Once you are adept in solving previous years’ papers, you will become even more confident about your chances of acing the entrance exam.
KNOW THE STRUCTURE
Always remain absolutely sure about the structure of the exam and keep yourself upbeat enough to know if there are any changes in the pattern or structure of the exam.

BUILD A STRATEGY

It is very important to take rest between all these chaotic hours of studying and preparing. Do no stress yourself out too much before the day of the exam. Keep yourself hydrated and eat only as much as you can easily digest. Always remember, panic can be our worst enemy and it can destroy every ounce of our confidence. Retain your peace of mind and work calmly toward achieving your goal of cracking the exam. In order to keep your mind from worrying too much you, you can try Yoga and meditation so that you know the art of calming down even in the most stressful of situations.
Make sure that you have at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night before the exam so that you wake up fresh.
