Preparation Tips-
Understand the pattern and syllabus of the exam-
Before anything else, make sure to understand the pattern and syllabus of this examination. You really do not need to prepare anything out of the syllabus. Questions are asked within the domain of the syllabus.
Gather the required reference books-
You do not want to waste valuable time looking for things and material. CMI has given all the information regarding all the books which may help you on their official site. So, visit their official site for more information.
Organize your study material-
You definitely need to study. You cannot memorize all the information and need to organize the materials you are using. Make short notes of all the important topics and don’t forget to revise them.
Solve previous year papers or sample papers-
Before appearing for the final exam, solve many sample/previous year papers as they may help you to gauge the level of questions and you will know your weaknesses and strengths.
