 3.LACK OF STRATEGY – Students very often ask different successful candidates about their strategies and try to follow the same that only makes it more chaotic for them to figure out what strategy to follow exactly. So, try to make your own strategy as per your convenience and following that one strategy throughout your preparation will definitely help you come off with flying colors.

 

• LACK OF CONSISTENCY IN STUDYING – Many aspirants are quite a bit enthusiastic when they begin their preparation for aspired Exam but that enthusiasm fades away with time. There are times when you are highly active and travail all day and night, and then, there are times when you do not study at all for days. This will make you forget whatever you studied during the times when you were the most active and you will have to start all over again when you decide to do it again. So, try to keep your preparations consistent throughout so as to maintain that positive flow of studies.

 4.DISTRACTIONS WHILE STUDY HOURS – Students often tend to surf through social media all day long wasting a lot of their precious time that they could have contributed to their studies. So, be wary of spending too much time on social media platforms and put the time that you spend while using them to some positive use. Fix your timings not only for studies but for Social media surfing but ensure during Study hours you will be avoiding all type of distractions, it will help you to concentrate more and in an organized way.

 5.LAST-MINUTE PREPARATION – Waiting for the official notification to start off your preparations ends up in your failure. Last minute reading has never helped anyone, but only creates a hurricane of confusion. Prepare well and avoid last minute mugging up of things before the exam. However while studying, do make a list of important formulae to revise at the end. 

 

• 6.THINKING OF PREPARING FOR THE MAINS EXAM ONLY AFTER THE RESULT OF PRELIMS EXAMS – If you do not prepare for mains examination from the very beginning, you will not be able to finish all of your preparations within the limited period of time that you get after qualifying for the mains examination.
