Do you know that you can make your first attempt a second or a 10th attempt without really waiting for the next notification to come. I am going to tell you how you can do that, but first understand how the chances of getting success increases in the 2nd or third attempt.

There are three things -

‍

- Between the first attempt and second attempt you have studied more, spent more time with the syllabus, attended more classes and studied books and magazines.

- Practiced more questions, may be by solving questions from books or more chapter tests, section tests and full length mock tests.

- You got more experience and more confidence and learned to get your best score in the time

‍

Now let me tell you how you can do all this in the first attempt itself –

1. It’s not always more that helps, more important is that you study relevant and you study that again and again. For finding the relevant information, take the guidance from other successful candidates and exam experts. Be careful that ultimately it will be a unique strategy you will carve out for you but taking guidance from those who have travelled that path will help you. The goal is to concentrate your efforts on studying what is most relevant for cracking the exam.

2. The more you practice the better you become. Practice in a time bound manner. Find out your weak areas and attempt more and more practice tests on those chapters. You will learn what type of questions you can skip and which one you can solve fast and correct.

3. Training your nerves for the real exam experience is a critical element for success. This then is the reason that the chances of getting success increases in a second or third attempt. But if you attempt every mock test like a real exam your first exam may be like your 3rd or 10th attempt. While doing the Mock Tests, treat it like a real exam. Practice when you have no disturbance, keep your phone off, tell family members that no one will disturb you when you are doing the test. Record your score, analyse your performance and monitor the progress test after test.
