Remember that mastering the syllabus is not enough now. You have to master your reactions. Lose time getting emotional over a tough Physics question and you’re doomed. Let ego creep in (“How can I not solve this, it’s easy!”) and you’re finished. Also, don’t ignore the basics — sleep on time, eat clean, and exercise. A tired brain and a sluggish body can’t bear three hours of high-speed problem-solving.
