i am starting this thread for the beginners.
first of all they should get hold of all the past papers.
secondly, go for some good books
start with Rippon's college essays and then move on to Exploring the world of English.
Keep on solving the papers while your studies.
Focus mainly on Precise, comprehension and expansion of idea.

The next advice in this regard is that while solving the paper the candidate should divide his time into different portions .
First 35 minutes should be given to Question no:4 to Question no:7.
Then the remaining should be given to Q1, Q2 and Q3.
45 minutes to precise.
45 minutes to comprehension.
30 minutes to expansion of idea.
last 15 minutes should be reserved for revision.
More techniques will be given in the coming lectures.

I lay much importance on Sentence connectors.
What are Sentence Connectors?
Answer:
Once you have mastered the basics of correct usage in written English, you will want to express yourself in increasingly complex ways. One of the best ways to improve your writing style is to use sentence connectors. Sentence connectors are used to express relationships between ideas and to combine sentences. The use of these connectors will add sophistication to your writing style.
Sentence Connectors - Showing Addition
in addition, additionally, furthermore, moreover, also
High level positions are stressful at times; furthermore, they can be harmful to your health.

Not only are high level positions stressful at times, but they also can be harmful to your health.
