Best tips to score good marks in exam-
- Most effective tip is to start the preparations earlier as much as possible, as we all know that English is a must for all the 3 streams.
- We all know that the grammar part is a must one one study as in the future also it becomes very useful to communicare in the corporate world. I myself would suggest Wren & Martin as in this book everything is in a detailed manner.
- Try to understand the basics as the basics are more important in any subject.
- Try to practise more on the writing part as mistakes will be erased after days of practise and one can score good marks in the writing section.
- Start solving mock papers way before the main exam.
