How is your practice...

Dear All,
I hope, all of you might knowing your GATE 2015 exam timings. As I told earlier in my previous post, I would like remind you one of my student tip:

Try to give more MOCK GATE tests as per your exam time. For example if your GATE 2015 exam is scheduled from 2 pm to 5 pm, give MOCK TEST daily during the same time slot. So that your mind and body will co operate very comfortably during the exam

Dont neglect health and try to maintain 6-7 hours of good sleep. 

With best wishes,
