eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

- If you have enough time for the exam, pick a chapter you are weak in and one that
is important from the exam standpoint.
- Or if you do not have enough time, pick a chapter that you are comfortable, have
not practiced enough and that is an important chapter.
- Any day give priority to important chapters if you have not revised them or not
practiced enough questions on them.
- If exams are just approaching, leave out any new chapters because it will create
a lot of stress and anyway you cannot master it enough for the exam.
- Keep in mind important milestones coming up, like mock tests or school exams, festivals
or family functions.
