Know your syllabus
Most aspirants will join a coaching institute and will get a
comprehensive list of books. But there are those who plan to study on their
own. We recommend that you get in touch with a reliable source and get a
complete list of books. A local library subscription always helps. Once you get
hold of the exact WBCS syllabus and
books you are all set.
Manage your time
Regardless of whether you plan to brave the exam on your own
or are joining a preparatory class, you will have to manage your time. Draw out
a time table and stick to it. Plan your study schedule and ensure that you
don’t deviate even for a minute.
Buy the right books
Buying the essential books always helps. You can always get
extra notes and reference books that help you understand the chapters for each
topic better. Before you begin with graduate level studies make sure you get
all the CBSE and ICSE books for science, social studies, mathematics and
English from classes VI to XII. Reading these will help you create the right
base on which to build upon.
Always make short notes while studying
Each chapter for each subject should be given equal
importance. Make short note simultaneously so you can refer to them at a later
stage. This also helps in revision in the long run.
Complete your syllabus in time
Finish your syllabus for each subject on time. That way you
will have ample time for further study and revision.
Constant revision
There is absolutely no substitute for continual revision.
Solve as many sample test papers as you possibly can
The one thing that helps is solving previous years’ papers.
Make sure you constantly appear for mock tests. That way you’ll be able to keep
track of your progress.
