SUCCESS MANTRAS

“Transform your learning into great success”
Be consistent. Vast syllabus needs to be covered in short span.
Focus and believe in yourself.
Practice more number of mock tests, utilize each test for self-evaluation, learning and improving.
Good hand writing and presentation techniques are very essential to score well in main exam.
Make a habit of preparing consolidated and precise subject wise notes.
Revise, revise and re-revise.Quote relevant examples/data in 5-7 words wherever possible in main exam.
Focus on answer’s content & presentation, instead of reading more and more books.
Identify your interest,analyze the syllabus content, your educational background, recent performance of the
candidates in that particular optional subject before choosing the optional subjects.
Apart from books, try to get knowledge from internet sources like wikipedia, youtube, e-newspaper and other
educational portals.
You MUST attempt the entire paper in Main —there is no alternative to this.
Persevere, stay mentally strong, have patience and be self-motivated. Don’t panic.
Understand, analyze and strictly stick to syllabus and develop broad understanding over topics. Market is
flooded with material — keep things simple.
Use a combination of flowcharts/diagrams/bullet points/paragraph writing while answering — depending upon
need of question.
Don’t quit and don’t doubt - It’s what you think that counts.
Don’t take the exam for the sake of trying. Don’t waste a crucial attempt. Wasting of attempts creates a
mental block.
Never hesitate to seek for help.
Don’t procrastinate!! Every time you postpone something that can be done today, you are harming your
chances of success, because some other competitor outside, is not postponing things!
Don’t waste the time after prelims in waiting for the result.
Attitude is more important than aptitude. So, stay positive and stress free.
Enjoy the process; it will make you humble and strong.

“You should know, what you know You should know, what you DON’T know”
