Do not go for any new topic
During the last minute of the preparation, never opt for studying any new topic instead revise what you have already studied. The chances of remembering something new at the last moment are few.
Revision is the key
The best thing to follow at the last moment is to revise. The more you revise the more clarity you develop about the subject which enhances the chance to select the correct option. The most important thing while revising is to finish the important chapters first.
Do not try to cover everything at the last moment
Most of the candidates’ biggest mistake is grabbing everything at the last moment. Rather aspirants must remain calm and positive and try to revise things that are possible at the last moment. Never go for everything. You can choose topics wisely for the last few days.
Have Cofidence
The key to success is confidence. Aspirants must have confidence in their hard work and preparation. Always believe in your action and stay calm and positive during the last few days. Wafi Akhter, faculty at IAS BABA says to have confidence in oneself that will increase performance drastically
Relax and give time to yourself
For the last moment the most wise thing is not to read and revise extensively. Instead aspirants should give time to themselves to revise and do mindreadings to find out some topics that they can select for the revision at the last moment.
Solve mock test papers
Apart from doing revision, aspirants can also opt for solving mock test paper for the last days. The paper solving is a light exercise that can help candidates to revise things along with practicing.
