Don’t Waste your Commute

Managing both your studies and work can be quite crucial and hectic until and unless you are determined enough to give your hundred percent in achieving your goals. Work on your mind as much as you work upon your papers to clear the exam without the hassle of appearing for it again and again.

Use each bit of the day, anywhere and everywhere and throughout the day. We suggest you to extensively focus on your commuting time to office as a dedicated time for morning revision. You can either record and keep your voice notes and listen on your smartphone while commuting or simply carry your notes and read it even in the smallest time span.

Manage your Manager

Once you are in your professional life, your manager is your point of support; you can either make it or break it. It's better if you keep good terms with your manager to seek his full support. If he/she happens to have cleared the same paper, he will surely be understanding and supportive, making your way easier towards your exam.

Keep your manager informed about your social life and the hours of effort you put in. It is sure to trigger his right strings and bring you in his good books making your day offs easier and study places quieter while assuring him to complete the official work on time without any disturbance and interference.

Go Online, Grow Online

The internet isn’t confined to social media, news, and entertainment. In fact, the new media has emerged to a relatively larger scale for you to learn, let learn, explain and grow. Why not utilize the same to manage your studies for the exam? If you are a full-time employee, you can switch to work from home with the help of the internet at least once a week to emphasize the particular day ondifficult subjects.

Further, you can also use technology to the fullest by signing in to online classes and portals and learning your desired subject/skills anywhere and everywhere. You can simply dig in your headphones and learn at your comfort; that’s the gift of technology for us.

Is your Routine on Point?

This may sound cliché and ever repeated formula to ace the examination but trust us, it works. Having prepared a daily routine with the specified subjects, date, courses, pages as well as time can systematically help you in covering each subject by the storm.

Further, you can also have a systematic structure of completing calculated pages per day during your smoke breaks, bathroom time, commuting period or at times you cook. Mark each page with the set break time and try to complete it within that period. This will ensure timely completion of your subject with an ample amount of time still left for your revision.

P.S Do not forget to plan your vacation routine as well.
