Stay Updated with Education Policies<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1789\" data-end=\"1965\">Keep track of recent developments in the education sector, especially policies like the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">National Education Policy 2020<\/span><\/span>, as questions are often asked from current trends.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1si7hpd\" data-start=\"1967\" data-end=\"1992\">8. Revise Regularly<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2132\">Revision is the key to retention.

Maintain Good Health<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2164\" data-end=\"2307\">A healthy mind performs better.
