schedule out your time properly allowing regular intervals break period specifiedly
convenient for yourself- don’t go with the notion of “I can study all day straight, every day
till exam time” it’s a sure way to burnout. Also, try study sessions in the morning (where
you’d be atleast alert) alongside regular practice using different aids, for instance
researching online guides which are frequently updated so you don’t miss out on new
information.
