Test or Exam Preparation!!! It does not matter whether you're a student of a state board, preparing for any entrance exam like JEE, NEET etc., or you are going to appear for any test related to job like bank exams, SSC exam, civil services or you are willing to go abroad and study there.

Whatever type of examination/test, you are going to appear for, The level of stress and confusion is always high. You need to gauge the method of preparation, among all this information, you see every day. But, before getting into that, let's excavate:

Usually. During school days, you must have attended the classroom lectures, but yet you felt that you need a little more help in one or another subject. So you must have taken help from private tuition or attended the coaching classes. Since the syllabus of any state board is fixed and pattern of examination is almost same every year; so, it becomes comparatively easy to choose that how you are going to do the preparation for your state board. But, when it comes to appearing for a competitive examination, everything changes with its vast syllabus. At that time you need an expert guidance for your studies. “”

With escalating competition amid students, entrance tests have become a lucid and reliable technique to admit the best out from number of admission entries. Due to these entrance exams, your future does not exclusively depend upon the marks you got in the board examination, but on other more pertinent aspects like logic, aptitude, reasoning, and most significantly on common sense.'''

Entrance exams exert more effort on getting the best from the students when they are trying to get into some of the best schools and colleges in the country. The board exam's papers are usually prepared, considering the average school student in mind, However, entrance exams are more like putting candidates against each other, fighting for a few seats. Entrance exams are much tougher than board exams so students usually start preparing during or before the board exams.

Time to start

The thumb rule to start preparing for an entrance exam is; the sooner the better. IIT-JEE, the medical entrance, CA, CPT, and the various national law entrance exams are some exams which need preparation straight from the standard XI. The knowledge base for all these exams are highly subjective and limited to text reference books. If you are preparing for job competition, then your syllabus is going to be huge and need a lot of coverage.

Now, the question arises that what are the ways, one can start for board and competitive exams, and here I put special stress over competitive exams. There have been many modes of preparation for competitive exams as follows:
