Revise light, not heavy<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Stick to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Important formulas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Key reactions and concepts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Common mistakes you\u2019ve noted earlier<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is <em>not<\/em> the time to start a new chapter or solve extremely tough questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Go through your short notes \/ formula sheets<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>These were made exactly for moments like this. Trust them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Sleep well (this matters more than you think)<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>A fresh mind can solve more questions than a tired one. Aim for <strong>7\u20138 hours of sleep<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Prepare your exam essentials<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Keep everything ready at night itself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Admit card (printed)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One valid photo ID<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Passport\u2011size photograph (if required)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transparent water bottle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Don\u2019ts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.

Don\u2019t discuss syllabus gaps with friends<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>This only creates unnecessary anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Don\u2019t over\u2011analyze mock scores<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Your performance tomorrow is independent of any past mock test.

Reach the exam center early<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong>Try to reach the exam centre at least 60\u201390 minutes before the reporting time.
