Preparing for the mighty test that’s coming up? It may be scary but you don’t need to worry about it because with simple tips, tactics, and tools you will be able to prepare well and improve your chances of doing well in the test.
When it comes to medical competitive exams, the importance of time management is very high. Since you have a lot to study and remember, you have to be able to manage your time such that you are able to go through all concepts and memorize them without having to rush. Time and again we hear students complain that they were not able to prepare properly and more often than not, the reason is poor time management. This is the reason why we have compiled a few tips for you to use the most basic tools in life to manage your time well: 
  • Create a time table
  • Set priorities
  • Stay away from distractions
  • Keep calm

Create A Time Table
This tool is old but gold! Such a simple tool, it can do wonders when used right. Simply create your own time table according to your needs and concerns such as the difficulty of the topic in question, the time you’d need to study, and so on. Create a detailed timetable for every single day and make sure you follow it. It has been positively proven that simply writing down your goals for the day can help you manage them really well.
Be very sure to include time for other activities in your timetable as well such as eating, taking a short nap, and a break or two.

Set Priorities
What should you start off with? What should you continue into? When you have a clear idea of all this in your mind you will be able to focus on one thing at a time. Otherwise you might get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of portion and be extremely worried. A clear goal will help you a lot in studying and managing time.

Stay Away From Distractions
When you study it is imperative that you stay away from any and all distractions including your phone and your laptop. Simply checking a text message may take a few seconds but this will distract you and you will lose your focus. As a result you will take more time to concentrate. Each time you do this, getting back on track will get more difficult. Avoid such trouble by only surrounding yourself with your books and keeping away from technology.

Keep Calm
Positivity is the biggest tool and tactic that you can apply. Always keep in mind why you are studying so hard; always remember the reward that is waiting for you. That will motivate you especially when you are frustrated. Be positive, stay calm, and keep telling yourself that you can do it.

Managing time while preparing for your exam is no rocket science. You just need simple tools and tips that will help you focus. Oh, of course, you also need to eat well and sleep tight!
