Dear TenADay Champ,
As the CAT draws closer it seems like Atlas has tricked you into taking over his load, however there are few simple things which can help you.
Presenting, ‘TenADay 10Fundas’
1. Food : Remember to eat properly, have a balanced diet. Don’t try and starve yourself and drink a lot of water and juices.
2. Sleep: Sleep deprivation is the worst thing that can affect you during your exam, so get a shut-eye whenever possible and at least get 7-8 hours of sleep everyday before the Exam.
3. Exercise: A little physical activity like walking or jogging really helps! A bit of fresh air and you see the world in a whole new perspective.
4. Relax: Everyone has a some activity like music, movies, surfing, reading etc. that helps them unwind take their mind off the impending examination.
5. Ruminate: At night, just before you sleep spend some time revising formulae or tricks to remember. The last things that you think of at night are the things that your brain keeps pouring over in your sleep.
6. Strategy: After taking a number of full length tests or simulations, by now you must be comfortable with your moulded strategies for various scenarois. Don’t experiment with those.
7. Breaks: If you are stuck at a point while solving any problem, take a break and come back and look at the problem.
8. Mundane: Take care of mundane things like knowing the location of your Examination centre and plan the trip so that you reach well before the reporting time. Also remember to carry your hall-ticket, a couple of pencils, eraser, sharpener etc.
9. Analyse Full-length tests :Re-look at all the full-length tests you have taken until now and try to reason why some of those were better than others? What did you do right or wrong? Keep that analysis in mind while approaching the CAT.
10. Envisioning Your Success : Create a picture of yourself successfully completing the examination. It’s most effective if you do it every night, but even one day before your exam could make a significant difference in creating better results.
“When you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” (Paulo Coelho)
