Incorporate the provided preparation tips into your daily routine for a successful exam experience and the opportunity to enroll in your preferred college in Maharashtra.

• The priority of the student must be to create a study plan and commit to follow it. The study schedule should include all the topics with study hours allotted depending upon the subject wise weightage. Candidates should plan to follow two time tables, one for the weekend and the other one for the weekdays.
• Next, the candidates need to understand the exam pattern very well, it should be on the tips of the candidate. One must know the basic highlights of the exam.
• Another important aspect is to have knowledge about the syllabus of the exam. One should have a list of important topics on the tips. Along with the important topics, one should also know the subject wise weightage of these topics. Having knowledge about the syllabus in detail leads the student in preparing efficiently on topics which are essential and not wasting time here and there. 
• One should not miss the previous years question papers and their analysis. This is the most crucial step as it helps in understanding the structure of the exam, analyzing the types of questions asked, topics that are repeated in the exam. Candidates must solve and analyze at least 10 to 15 previous year question papers before sitting for the real exam.
• Candidates must adopt the practice of solving multiple sample papers and mock tests before the exam to boost their confidence. These papers are available in the market as well as online on study, platforms and websites. One must first attempt these papers and then analyze them using solved sample papers. Candidates must attempt at least 20 sample papers before the exam as solving them gives the candidate the real sense of the exam.
• Solving previous year questions papers and sample papers helps in identifying a candidate’s strengths and weaknesses. Candidates must work on their weaknesses very carefully so that they do not face any problem during the real exam.
• Further candidates must inculcate the habit of taking regular breaks, while intensive preparation is crucial but overloading and bombarding oneself is also not right. When should I take proper breaks, sleep well, and do regular exercise. All these activities will help the candidates to improve their concentration in memorisation power.
• Candidates must also have a practice of daily revision, if we revise daily, we retain information better. We can use creative strategies such as making our own notes in the form of tables, synopsis, charts, figures etc. All these strategies help in retaining the information in an efficient manner and help the candidates during the last-minute preparation.
• Another crucial aspect is to not bombard oneself with a lot of books. Candidates must use one basic book and one advanced level book for each subject. Rather than hoarding a lot of books and then struggling to even read ones is a wrong practice. Limited and efficient reference material should be used and priority should be to revise that material again and again. 
• In today’s digital world, one should also not afford to miss the online information available, free of cost, which can help the candidates learn even better. There are many online study platforms that have daily quizzes, YouTube videos which help in conceptual clarity, answer writing programmes which help candidates in writing, good answers and help them achieve the desired goal and the marks that will lead them to begin their academic journey in the preferred college of their choice. 
• Last, but not the least, is to have a balanced meal, sleep on proper time. Remember, only a healthy body will be able to prepare better for the exam.
