"I Learned To Stop Worrying And Embraced The Journey" | Sanjana Sinha's Journey To IIM Calcutta

1. Reading regularly is essential for strengthening your VARC section. Not only will it expand your vocabulary, but it will also help cultivate the ability to gain a nuanced understanding of passages in RCs. Reading can be a rewarding and enriching experience if you pick books from genres which appeal to your tastes. An added benefit of reading newspapers and business or technology publications is that it will prepare you for the interviews as well.

2. Start writing now. This is a skill which takes a considerable amount of time to acquire. To stay motivated and engaged, start small with writing prompts from your area of interest and gradually move on to essays based on political, environmental, social and financial issues.

3. Identifying your strengths and weaknesses is a valuable exercise. But take caution not to dedicate the majority of your time to your weak areas. And never take your strengths for granted. Sometimes when you think that you can tackle a topic with minimal effort, you will surely encounter a question which will shatter your confidence.

4. Cover each and every topic, even the topics which you find impossible to master. There’s always a possibility that you could successfully attempt a question on it during the exam.

5. While you may have seen this piece of advice everywhere, let me remind you once again that taking Mock Tests and analyzing them is crucial to your preparation. And no matter how you perform in them, it always serves as a great learning exercise.

6. For aspirants who are currently employed in a full-time job, my advice to you is to stay consistent and set milestones for yourself. And most importantly, believe in yourself.
