Creating A Study Plan:

During the exam season, planning and implementing a study plan is essential to cover every bit of the syllabus. Before creating a study plan for GUJCET preparation, candidates should map out the study portions that need to be covered. An effective study plan can be accomplished only when the entire syllabus is covered in it. Select important chapters and prepare them first. Keep time for revision in the everyday study plan.

Self-assessment done on a regular basis can help candidates check and analyse their preparation so that improvements in the study plan can be done if needed. It will also help in focusing on weaker sections of the syllabus so that more attention can be given to such sections.
