It is best to formulate a viable revision plan and stick to it till the end. You must remain very careful in implementing the timetable plus the time table must be effective. Spending days on one topic is a waste of time. Divide your study hours equally and revise the formulae, diagrams, mock papers and equations. Remember preparation is only successful if it gives you result. Result is possible only when you have a solid and concrete plan. Utilise your resources well. Get NCERT first.

Instead revise more and more
