• A student of English Literature and Grammar must read all the poems and stories thoroughly.
• For Physics, a student must learn all the theorems, laws, definitions, and formulae, and be good at thinking out of the box or rather logical thinking.
• For Biology, a student must focus on his/her drawing skills and must not forget to label the diagram properly.
