Make sure you are well-rested, fresh, and hydrated. Relax clear your mind, and give yourself positive affirmations. Don’t get over or underconfident, just stay calm and keep moving ahead. Read questions carefully and always formulate logic on pen paper rather than in mind, solving questions fast is important but solving them correctly is more important. Do not waste time on a question based on a topic you do not know, or if it is a type of question you have never encountered in that topic. Many questions will use a mixture of two or more concepts, do not panic, and just solve them slowly and calmly, step by step. Go through the entire paper 3 times if possible, on the 1st time attempt the easy questions and mark the medium-level questions for review, on 2nd time trying to solve the medium-level questions as much as you can, if done with all medium-level marked for review questions only then go for the 3rd time where you will give everything you got left in you to the hard questions. Do not guess the answer to any question, use some common sense and basic understanding of things to eliminate options in case of confusion between two options. Attempt the paper subject-wise so it is easier to recollect all you remember about the topic and concept. Time will be your worst and biggest enemy, handle it carefully, time management is crucial....
