Start on time

• This is the single best piece of advise anyone can give you. You need to cover an enormous amount of material while still combining this with school and free time. Spreading the work over a long period is a good way to start. ​

• It also gives you time to review the material multiple times and efficiently memorize it. 
   

Combine studying with exercises

• While the raw knowledge is very important, people vastly underestimate the power of exercises. By combining both you can keep a healthy balance. 
  ​

Start with your weakest subjects​

• This is an efficient way of starting your study adventure​.

• This will ensure that you don't end up with sudden surprises​.
   

Reserve a day in the week for studying

• Having a steady study schedule is essential​.

• This schedule is entirely personal, whatever works for you is the way to go but just make sure you're able to follow it.
   

Mix up the subjects

• Don't separate the subjects! By the time you start with your second subject, you've already forgotten the first one​.
   

Get yourself a study buddy

• Everything is more fun with more​ 2

• This will keep you motivated and driven

• Plus you have someone to ask questions to!
   

But most of all, take care of yourself​​

• Don't sacrifice sleep or meals for extra study time

• Drink enough water (also during the exam)

• Keep everything in perspective, failing the exam is not the end of the world
