Revise the concepts and keep practising

Try revising the concepts you are good at and the ones you are not so good at. Also, have a look at the solving methodology of the tricky questions you have faced in the past. Whatever you do, don’t start ;earning a new topic at this point in time; rather use the time to practice as much as you can on the topics you already know. Also, track your performance in the succeeding mock tests. You need to score more than 95 percentile on a continuous basis.

Consider the Cut-offs & Negative Marking

Cut-offs of previous years are not available so you need to put the best of your efforts in this exam. This is the only way you can clear the cut-offs. There are sectional as well as overall cut-offs in place. However, please be informed that negative marking is also there. So exercise extreme caution while answering the questions. If you answer too many questions incorrectly, your final score will be badly affected.

One day before the exam

Don’t take any mock test/quiz just the day before the exam. Keep your admit card, id card & stationary ready. If possible, take a stroll at your examination centre so that you don’t face any difficulty in locating it the next day. Most importantly, stay calm & relaxed; you have already done the preparation to the best of your calibre.
