The Day Before the Exam: Laying the Groundwork
Strategic Revision
Avoid last-minute cramming. Instead, focus on high-impact review areas such as:

Key formulas and concepts from each subject
-
Flashcards and one-pagers for quick recall
-
Mock test reviews to learn from past mistakes
-
Important dates and vocabulary, especially for General Awareness
Organizing Exam Essentials
Make sure you’ve packed the following:
-
Printed Admit Card
-
Valid Photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, School ID, etc.)
-
Transparent pens and other permitted stationery
-
A clear water bottle (if allowed)
-
Comfortable attire as per NTA guidelines
Important Reminder: Leave behind prohibited items like mobile phones, smartwatches, and calculators.

Eat a light and nutritious dinner to avoid discomfort
