Tip 7 - Other Vital Points

Some important advice offered by experts and teachers to be incorporated in the strategy for how to prepare  for SRMJEEE 2018 have nothing to do with studies. However they are equally important and should not be neglected.

• Keep healthy- Candidates must take care of their health. To do that, they must eat well, not skip meals and take care of themselves. Ill health will add to the woes and cause loss of preparation time. Therefore it is imperative that all care must be taken of the self.

• Sleep Well- Some students compromise on their sleep while preparing for the entrance exam. This is not a good practice as even the brain needs rest else it will grow weary thus affecting the preparation schedules. The number of hours that a candidate should sleep is dependent upon the candidate itself. No two students are the same and so is their sleep pattern. At the end of the day, candidates must ensure they are well rested to tackle another day full of preparation and study.

• Take Breaks- In order to break the monotony, candidates are advised to take short breaks while they are preparing for the SRMJEEE exam.This will help them to freshen up and they will be able to return to their preparation with new vigour.

• De-stressing through Hobbies: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. The fact is that too much of only study will be stressful. So candidates must pursue some hobby or distressing activity after a day of hard preparation. This allows them to keep themselves grounded and relaxed as activities like walking, listening to music, talking to friends etc have been known to be therapeutic for students. However candidates must ensure they don’t speen a lot of time on these.

• No Social media- It is mostly been said that social media is distracting and addictive. Therefore most toppers have been known to keep away from them. This should be enforced for a limited period of time as the success that comes with a seat in one of the leading universities overweighs all such sacrifices.
