According to the syllabus, prioritise your subjects. Start with the one carrying maximum weightage.

Since AIBE is an open book exam, a thorough reading of bare acts will ensure that you are familiar with the structure and thus will be able to answer the questions quickly.

You should have a good understanding of the provisions of the Act.

Time management is of an essence, so try to attempt as many mock-tests as possible to check your timing and subject knowledge.
