that what should be covered and for that following things are really helpful like the analysis of the
most important and the least important topics, preferences of the examiner and the past trends of
the exam. These things will help the examinee to emphasize on those topics or that part of syllabus
which have the highest probability of getting tested.

of the study and the other activities should be planned and should be strictly followed in the days of

websites or playing games, or watching television for refreshment. Because if you only confined

take sufficient sleep after their study intervals are less likely to remember much what they have
memorized or read in the last interval of their study.
