Exam Day

For the day of the exam it is important that you are calm and composed because stressing out will occupy your mind space and not let you focus. On the exam day make sure that you are carrying all the important documents because without them you will not be allowed to enter the exam hall; reach the exam centre on time so that you've enough time to find your seat and settle well enough before the exam starts

It is important that you attempt the examination as per your strengths by attempting all the questions you know first so that you can save time for the questions that you know will take a little more time than the others. Please make sure that you read the questions carefully so that you answer specifically what is asked without falling prey to the tricks hidden in some questions. Do maintain the time strategy that you have developed by practicing on your mock test by keeping the marking scheme in mind so that you distribute your time on all sections.

And that is it! Prep hard, focus on your conceptual clarity, be vigilant while taking the test and give your best! If you have put in the hard work and burned that midnight oil, results will automatically show.

Good luck!
