| January | Revise formulas, NCERT Chemistry, previous-year papers; sleep well before the exam |

- **Wrong photo** — caps, sunglasses or a blurry photo can get your form rejected.
- **Choosing exam cities far away** without checking travel.
- **Not saving the confirmation page.**
- **Using a parent's phone number** that may change.
