my strategy is ....

spare 3 hours for study during office timings (out of 9 hours)...especially essay preparation can be done in this way w.r.t data/information collection about a topic. however, to study in office needs some smartness and diplomacy

then after office timing, take sleep of 1 to 2 hours. then till 10 pm, finish all tasks like dinner, prayer, family etc. Then again study from 10pm to 2am...

With this strategy, one can have 6 to 7 hours per day...candidates appearing 2nd or 3rd time can do well with that much time.

by the way, i am following this time-table for last 2 months and will continue this for one more month as i have applied for 2 month leaves...time duration for study during those 2 months will definitely be doubled...

do pray for me...

Best of luck...
