Read your textbooks thoroughly. No chapter is unimportant. Practice all the sums of each exercise. Do not neglect the languages.

Write down all maths formulae, theorems in a small handy notebook. Go through them once in a while. Write down the derivations/formulae in physics in chart paper and hang it on the wall beside your study table. Take a peek at it every now and then.
-
Mid-year exams give an idea where you stand in terms of preparation. Analyse your marks/answer sheets. Understand where you lost marks, and how to do better in those areas. You can talk to your respective mentor on how to improve your answer.
-
Do not compare score with your classmates, rather, compare with your last test score. If you see an improvement, you are on right track. If you don’t, you have to work harder and cleverly.
-
You can study with your group of classmates if that helps you. For some people studying alone gives better result, while for some discussing and solving problems with friends is more productive.
-
Once you finish the syllabus, start solving previous years’ question papers. Mimic exam hall conditions while solving the papers. You will know the format of the question and more importantly, time management.
- Have adequate rest and free time. Studying 20 hours a day will not be helpful at all.
