Preparing for a competitive exam?

Is it a rule made by nature or what we humans have made, that thing you like will be hardest for you to get? Either it is a job you want to land in, the competitive process takes you through a roller coaster process. So if you are preparing for a competitive exam, check out some tips.

So, it just my feelings on how to deal with when you may enter a process for any competitive exam. 

Initially, with all enthusiasm, you are ready to get into the fight, and trust me that is what required. That zeal and enthusiasm with which we start, most of us get laid back in the midway for various reasons and mine was, is what I am going to share.

Not that you don’t put in that effort as other do, the reason for that laid back behavior would be, maybe you are a little scared by analyzing the competition around you. 

You feel others are far more intelligent than you are, you cannot make it.

These feelings are obvious, you feel that anxiousness, you feel that you wasted your time and most importantly your parent’s money, because that is what your relatives’ taunts are.

So in my process of preparing for an exam, I too went through many phases, of emotions and perception about the exam, I was to appear in.

It felt it will be easy as I’ll put all my efforts to crack it and make it. But eventually, as time passes you feel the competition crowd makes you fear, more than the actual exam I felt other students scared me because it feels they are far better than you. And you start losing it there.

Whenever you sit to study, you are worried about what the topper must be studying. How will they approach the certain questions and this all makes you so tensed, and keep whining why am I not the intelligent one? It got some much occupied by these dramatic thoughts that the actual syllabus is not looked upon so thoroughly.

So basically the most important factor in my case was being intimidated by peer competitors around me that played a halt in my preparation.

Not sure for all but mostly we go through this and fail in our competitive exams since I failed.

When that failure strikes it feels like being worthless, someone who cannot do anything in life, and all those cursing happens. I did it too.

But as it is analyzed, I found this to be my reason for not being able to crack it.

Going through many  self help books I motivated my self that though I failed in this exam, still keep trying to get what I deserve.

So there is much guidance provided by people, It is up to you who do you trust and follow,

Reading Eat that frog BY Tracy Brian, I came across the ABCDE rule, A is the most important task for you, it should be done with your full effort, it something If you don’t do would hamper your future.

B is important, like anything that is required, but will not affect you I you don’t do it.

C is like for keeping you entertained, it is something, again you can do in 15 days, likewise or D like going to a restaurant or movie and E is eliminate.

Ironically we waste out time mostly on E, like scrolling through social media all day long.

And he also suggest doing the toughest task according to you in the morning, so the chapter you find toughest try to complete it in the mornings. Make a planner and try following it.

Stop procrastinating and most important do not be intimidated by your peers and in that fear you lose all your strength to fight. Put your hard work and be disciplined throughout the process.

As it is Advisable to become more disciplined. Since the pain of discipline hurts less than the pain of regrets.

 Hope this helps.
