Learning and practicing concepts
As mentioned above, after going through the first two stages, candidates should have a good idea about the exam and should start the learning and practice phase of their preparation. All 4 subjects cover a wide variety of topics and each subject requires a three-tier approach i.e. learning the concepts, practicing questions and revising multiple times. Each of these 3 steps is important for the preparation of each subject and candidates must follow it to score well in the exam.
Mock attempting and revision
