Read syllabus and question papers carefully so that it will easy for you to make a proper approach.
Start preparing from the initial topics i.e. the basic ones and note down the basic concepts (definitions, unit, dimension etc.) as well as necessary theories, formulae etc.
Try to solve as many problems as possible from different book as well as try to find more and more tricks.
Try to apply your own logics and tricks in solving problems and note it down because it will save your time in the examination hall.
Conduct self tests based on various chapters. Continue the self tests and try to achieve a very good score.
