Student Opinion

How to Crack the Paper

Read all slides properly line by line.
Read the corresponding text from book.(mainly foxmcdonald)
Watch the videos for better conceptual understanding (watch especially those in slides as questions do come from there)
Solve all the previous year papers especially recent ones (many questions repeat).
