  • Focus on NCERT/Bihar Board Books: Most exam questions are derived from these texts, so start your preparation with these books.

  • Make Concise Notes: Prepare brief notes by hand to facilitate quick revision before the exams.

  • Limit Device Usage and Increase Focus: Stay away from mobile phones and social media. Use the internet only for study-related purposes.
