General Tips:
To start with, see that you have gone through textbook completely, solved every problem, including extra and in-text problems. Since 80% of paper contains the same questions as in the textbook while remaining 20% is just a modification of questions given in the textbook, so if you are doing textbook completely and solving every problem on pen paper, this is more than sufficient. No need to go through books like R.D.Sharma and others now. If you are doing it from earlier, first revise NCERT textbook, then go to previous years question papers and then if you have time just attempt some selective questions from R.D.Sharma. While attempting paper, please take it with time constraint and take in account all factors — you must write question number and other basic stuff as sometimes you answer correctly but these small blunders take away your well-deserved marks. Do write each and every step, even if it seems silly to you and also mention reasoning for every step. If you are using a theorem, remember the statement. For this you may write down all the statements and important formulae, this will help you during last minute revision.
