So, it is important that you practice it and practice it well. Time management is also very important for your day-to-day study schedule. The key to managing your time efficiently is making a time-table and adhering to it.

5. Seek guidance: It is not possible to understand the syllabus by your own, at least not at the time of preparation. Sooner or later you will run into a concept which will create doubts. In a situation like this, it is best you seek guidance from an instructor or a teacher. It is necessary that you clear your doubts at regular intervals and don’t prolong things for long.
