3. The syllabus of EKT is a little lengthy and it’ll require consistent preparation so start preparing from now onwards and do as much as you can.
4. Do topic wise studies, i.e. decide and plan out that which portions you have to cover in a day. Stick to your plan and do complete the portion you have set for that day. In this way you’ll be able to cover maximum of the topics.
   
5. Revise the parts you did for the previous day.
6. Do see the previous year’s papers and other model papers to get an idea on the types of questions. This will also help you to practice the maximum of them.
