With roughly 2 months left, this is the time to refine your strategy and focus on smart preparation rather than just covering the syllabus.

2. Take Mock Tests Regularly

Mock tests help in time management, accuracy, and confidence-building. Attempt at least two full-length mock tests per week, analyze mistakes, and work on weak areas.
