In the beginning, I covered important topics like - Pharmacology, Pharmaceutics, Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. After every topic, I used to try MCQs related to that topic. After completion of a particular subject. I used to focus more on doing MCQs after that I keep on revising the GPAT syllabus 2021 and attempted all the test series allotted by my coaching experts.

Two days before the exam I tried to keep my mind relax for which I slept well and eat good and study only 5 to 6 hours a day.
