How to crack the Examination

Note:

1.   Lot of prospecting candidates who are ready to appear the next Appendix III (IREM) examination are requested me to tell the tips to crack the examination. These tips are just illustrative and general in nature, not exhaustive.

2.                       I advise the candidates to design their own plan, depend on their knowledge, skills, comfortability etc. Because every human being is unique.   

How to Crack the Examination

Ø Make familiar with the syllabus and keep the same on study table.

Ø  Collect the hard copy of Study material. Take print of all soft copies. It’s one time investment.

Ø  Don’t depend on soft copy of the material in the computers.  It remains there. Not move into your brain.

Ø  Practice, practice and practice is what you need. There are no shortcuts to success.

Ø  Group Study is the best idea , if like-minded friends are writing the same examination.

Ø Preparing Notes is wonderful strategy. I assure you 100 %, that this single tip will sit you in the list of successful candidates.

Ø Turn off your gadgets i.e., Mobile, TV, Computer etc as far as possible.

Ø Stay away from Social networking like Whatsapp, Facebook etc as much as possibl.e. ( I agree, it’s not possible.  At least distance from them during study time)
