I followed this plan to get through my exams, I hope it helps you:
- Planning: I kept and maintained a detailed plan for each and everything I studied. Here’s a photo from my journal (That I kept during my exams).

2. Practice: I practiced for my exams religiously from respective study materials and practice manuals given by Institute. This all practice was by hand practice not just reading practice.
3. Mock Tests: By far, I consider this as most important part of my preparation for exams. If you’re going for exams without attempting for mock tests, you are definitely under prepared.
4. Theory: Multiple Revisions + Summary Notes is the key to clear each and every theory exam. You just need to dive in and make mind-maps/ flows within your mind.
Pro Tip: Find a study partner who can study with you, keep up the same pace - this will help you both to find each other's weak points and get through the exam easily. This will also nuruture the feelings of complementing each other and some times competing with each other.
