all necessary sentences or word with a pencil. All points from the book which you are

Some students just read once and memorized all, some students have to read many times to remember, some may need to write the answers on paper, then remember, some can sit in one place continuously and some may read while walking, some rise early morning and study, some study in late night. so find your own comfortable pattern and study accordingly.
Do not copy friends style of studying.
How you study is not important, but you studied by your own style and learned is matters.

Get healthy food during exam days which keep you energetic and drink clean water in each break of S-R Rule. Also get sleep for 7-8 hours a day. Do not over eat. Avoid fast food and non veg during these days as you can enjoy it in vacations after exam.
