Stick to the Study Plan: The candidates must stick to their study plan that they have curated based on their requirements. Just add the new date and modify it according to the need.
-
Revise the Notes: If you are doing self-study and have prepared notes of your own, then start revising them subject-wise or take the help of coaching notes.
-
Follow Subject-Wise: Try to finish one subject at a time along with practising BPSC previous year papers and mock tests.
-
Attempt Mock Test: Once the revision is done, give mock test subject-wise (at least one for each subject) and full length test (at least 10).
-
Analysis of Mock Test: This is the most crucial part of preparation. The candidates should analyse their performance in the mock test to know their strengths and weaknesses.
-
Prepare Key Notes: Lastly, you can prepare short key notes for the topics which you feel are difficult to revise and you are constantly making mistakes in tests.
