If you are facing problems while getting ready for a competitive exam and don’t know exactly what you should do in order to ace it, then this is the post you should be reading.

In this article, we are going to tell you competitive exam preparation tips and do’s and dont's of doing well on an exam and how you can do well for yourself by doing the right things.

* Have a shorter study period

Don’t keep your study period too long if you really want to excel in an exam. It is really better to break your study sessions than going into a marathon. The thing with marathons is that they can help you cover a lot of stuff at one go but the downside is that it could really make you feel tired and frustrated. And that is something you should avoid if you are aiming to ace a competitive exam. Study for two hours straight. Take a 15 to 20 minutes break and then get back again. Taking breaks is really important.

* Sync the timetable of your school with the home study schedule

Whenever you see your teacher covering a topic in class, make sure to cover it as soon as possible so that you can revise the topic from beforehand. Also make sure to prepare the notes for revision. Whenever there is some test in your class, you should be prepared and that you can only do that if you memorize the questions, brush up diagrams and learn them as well.

* Plan your study time

Before you sit to study, make sure you have planned things accordingly. You should have a good idea of what you want to study and what you don’t when you are preparing for an exam.

* Take small breaks

Next you must really remember to take a few small breaks. Taking breaks is very important. If you study too much at one go, you may not remember a thing during exams. If you are studying all morning, take some hours off during the evening and play a game or something.

* Drink some coffee

If you want to do well in an exam, you must remember to take care of the small things. For example, drinking enough tea/coffee. Now we don’t mean you have to drink 4 cups of coffee a day. Make sure you drink one cup when you are trying to study and finish something important and you feel dizzy or tired instead.
