How to Crack the Examination

Note:
1.   Many prospecting candidates appearing for the next Appendix III (IREM) examination  requested me to give tips to crack the examination. The tips I give below are just illustrative and general in nature, not exhaustive.
2.                       I advise the candidates to design their own plan, depending  on their knowledge, skills, comfortability, etc. as every human being is unique. 

How to Crack the Examination

Ø Be  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. Will not get registered in your memory.

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 a wonderful strategy. I assure you 100 %, that this single tip will  make you sit  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 possible. ( I agree, it’s not possible.  keep a distance from them atleast during study time)
