Make a study plan 

It is very important for candidates to first make a study plan. Once the candidate has made the study plan, then they can work according to the plan and this will help aspirants to achieve their goals. Making a study plan is the first step in the preparation for candidates appearing for the APPSC examination. 

Keep an eye on General Awareness 

Since the APPSC prelims and Mains syllabus has a major portion of general awareness, candidates need to be aware of the day-to-day happenings and even the things that have happened in the past. Since covering GK is a lengthy task, candidates should devote some time in their day to studying GK. Also, candidates should make studying GK their daily practice. 

Study thoroughly 

The syllabus for both APPSC prelims and Mains is comprehensive, and it requires a massive amount of time for candidates to devote to it. Therefore, candidates are advised to study every topic from each syllabus thoroughly. If a candidate is appearing for the prelims exam, then he or she should study the prelims syllabus, whereas candidates clearing prelims and moving forward to the Mains exam, then he or she should study the Mains exam syllabus thoroughly.

Also, candidates should consider going through the APPSC exam pattern and marking scheme in order to have an idea of which topic carries higher weight, what the mode of examination is, in which language the exam will be conducted, and to check other details. 

Give yourself a break

Since extensive preparation can turn out to be extremely hectic, therefore, aspirants should give themselves some break. It is very important to take breaks, as studying continuously can exhaust a person and cause a breakdown. As a result, this can shift the focus level of the candidate and even decrease his/her efficiency. 

Thorough revision is necessary 

Once the candidate is done with the preparation, the most important step is to do a thorough revision. This will help the candidate to remember everything that they have studied so far. The more revision the candidate does, the more their preparation will be enhanced. 

Tip for the Exam Day

Exam day or D-day is the day when a candidate's preparation will be put to the test. However, there are times when the candidate ends up making mistakes as they become too nervous. If an aspirant becomes too nervous while appearing for the exam, then there are chances that they might forget what they have studied. Hence, candidates should remain calm and appear for the exam with a positive attitude.
