How much do I need to Study?

Do not try new things that you never experienced so close to exams. However, following may
give a soothing affect during pre-examination trauma.

a) Dedicate 15-20 minutes to Scan each chapter of the book, (first 3 and last 2
pages of each chapter would be sufficient to reach to its main agenda)

b) Read and understand all “Reading Material” that you ever received by any mode

question. Don’t just brain dump. So:
a) Don’t over-write on your best answer
b) Be efficient in your answer – don’t waffle- don’t repeat – focus on the questions
asked. Ask yourself “will I get a mark for this sentence/paragraph against the criteria
suggested by question?”
How can I best answer the questions so to get maximum marks?
