Dear Sweta,
you can do number of things:-
Meditation (atleast for 10-15 minutes) is the most recommended.
and then, you should try to refrain yourself from indulging in those activities again, but do this slowly and steadily.
spend time with family and better would be to stop chatting/surfing on facebook and other networking sites.
read something and discuss with friends (if you face any problem) and it is the best practice to share and ask friends about what they are readying... and what have been left.... which is most important topic in exams.... etc.... etc... because it will give you self-motivation and also you would be aware of the topics you should concentrate on...
And, what else to tell, you being a rank holder, must be aware of the time-management techniques, among other things....
Just wishing best of luck for the exams...
Just Do well, Get Well and throw it in the well....

Hi sweta, it is a coincidence that even I got 33rd rank in PCC & I'm writing Final in Nov. I can understand your problem bcoz I have gone thru the same thing. I feel that stress is a good motivator, so keep reminding yourself of what is at stake, & how important this exam is for you.
Cut-off from the outside world, and start intense preparation. It is all in your will power. Being a Rank-holder, you have the capacity, you just need to apply it. It is now or never. Give it your best shot!

Hi. You are not thinking about irrelevant things but which are important things because these are unresolved issues in your life which comes to the fore when you are alone with yourself. But as preparing ca final is a deadline based task, so you have to prioritise things in your life. So you have to politely ask your good friend “mind” to think about these issues after the exams and now concentrate only on studies. Few tips.
1. Live in the present. Remember the past is history the future is mystery the moment you are having right now is truly is a gift. That is why this moment is called “the present”.
2. Forgive everyone. Silently ask for forgiveness from everyone else in your life. This will calm your mind.
3. Follow a fixed time schedule for your studies. Be away from news papers, current affairs until the completion of your exams.
4 Whenever you feel agitated just remember it is a trick/play of the mind... do not get bogged down by your good ‘friend’. Do some deep breathing with a calm mind and immediately engage with your studies.
5. Think and concentrate on completing one chapter at a time. Quickly complete two or three ‘A’ category chapters in each subject which will fetch you at least 40 marks. This will give you enough confidence to complete remaining chapters.
I am sure that after becoming a ‘chartered accountant’, when you make your near and dear ones proud, when you serve the society by resolving their problems by applying your knowledge, when you get respect for what you have done most of the queries generated by your mind at present becomes irrelevant. Be happy. With best wishes.

U Need self motivation... Try to take part in group studies and discuss with senior which may help you to focus... many of us are having the same problem ie we get distracted as the exam comes closer.. once you get on the track of studies then it will be ok..
