Smart strategies for the last day before exam!

The last 24 hours: how to utilize to your maximum advantage?


1. The worst mistake: 

Trying to do the impossible - Going through hundreds to thousands of MCQs in the name of revision.
Benefit :
Nothing as such. In fact the gap/ deficit seems to widen as the last hour approaches.
Result: 
Anxiety and loss of confidence. 
Advice :
Avoid this exercise

2. The alternate technique:

Do what is needed - Identify those key areas that 'you know you are still weak' at.
Benefits:
Sealing the lacunae connects hundreds of other concepts that you had read long back. All scattered concepts automatically start connecting and suddenly everything starts making sense.
Result:
Big boost to your confidence.
Advice:
Do a favour on yourself. Do it for yourself.
