Time Management Tips for RRB JE 2024 Aspirants
1. Create a Balanced Study Plan
Start with a study plan that allocates specific time slots for each subject. Divide your day into:
- Core study hours: Focused sessions for technical subjects.
- Light study hours: Casual learning for General Awareness and Current Affairs.
2. Prioritize Based on Syllabus Weightage
Some sections carry more weight in the exam. Focus more on these:
- For CBT-1, prioritize Mathematics and General Intelligence.
- For CBT-2, dedicate time to Technical Abilities and General Awareness.
3. Use Time-Blocking Techniques
Time-blocking involves dividing your day into chunks dedicated to specific tasks. For example:
- 9 AM – 11 AM: Mathematics
- 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM: General Awareness
- 2 PM – 4 PM: Technical Abilities This ensures consistent progress across subjects.
4. Focus on Weak Areas
While it’s tempting to keep studying your strong subjects, give extra attention to areas where you struggle. For instance, if coding-decoding in Reasoning is challenging, allocate daily practice time for it.
5. Leverage Breaks for Productivity
Use short breaks as a way to refresh your mind. A 25-minute study session followed by a 5-minute break (Pomodoro Technique) can enhance focus and reduce fatigue.
