2. Follow a Study Plan:

After you have gone through the syllabus and have all the study material with you, make a proper time-table by distributing time to all the topics in the syllabus. Allot required amount of time to each section. This way you will be able to complete the entire syllabus in time. Follow the study plan very strictly. Also, this time-table should include breaks as no one can study continuously and it is not advised to do so either. You will only be able to retain the concepts in your mind if your mind is fresh and not tired.

3. Work on your Grammar and Writing skills:

Grammar matters in all sections of English exam. So, your english grammar needs to very strong. Work on your weaknesses in Grammar. Improve your grammar knowledge by following certain good grammar books and reading as much as you can. Try to understand all the concepts of Grammar and get your doubts cleared simultaneously. Never mug up things. Just mugging things up could easily result in one forgetting it during the time of exam, when one is usually under pressure. Instead of mugging things up, try to understand the basics and fundamentals of the language. For example, by improving vocabulary and Grammar, one will be able to easily form sentences. This will help one write good essays and answers on their own.

This leads to the writing section. You should work on your writing skills if you want to score a good number in that section. You should know all the formats. Use simple words in the answer sheet. Don’t complicate things up. Keep practicing before the exam.

4. Revision - A must:

It is very important to revise what you have studied and learnt. Revise all the questions and answers of English Literature. Go through the summaries of all chapters to make sure you have every important point and event in your mind. Revise the grammar concepts by practicing more and more. Revision is a must especially when it comes to the literature section.

5. Test your learning with Previous Year papers and sample papers:

English exam is all about practice. Students are advised to solve one previous year paper daily. This practice will enhance their writing skills (mainly in reading and writing sections). This is the most important part of the preparation for any exam. Previous year question papers will help you know the exam pattern and also, help you with time management which is quite important in English exam. With sample papers, you will know the latest changes if made in the exam pattern and if you attempt these, you will be able to improve your writing speed. Solve as many English previous year papers and sample papers as you can before the exam.
