The primary difference between coaching and no-coaching is the lack of a preformed time-bound schedule. So, what I think is important is, you make down a list of say all the chapters left and allocate time in weeks for each of them, such that by the end of January of the year of the exam, you have finished the entire syllabus while keeping in touch with old topics via revision, by February, you have revised the topics which you felt needed revision the most and then on, just solve question papers, such that, you discover where you go wrong and refer those parts only.
These were rough long-term time bounds. Next, what is different is feedback. Online test series are the best option, but since the way they cover their syllabus differed from my set schedule, I used to just solve MCQ and compare those over time. You can select whatever you like but it is important to know that you actually are able to translate the learnt topics into answers.
Perhaps the most important point. Not strictly something which is only no-coaching specific. Concepts. I can not stress the vitality of this enough. It is the single most important difference between those who clear the exam and those who don't. To understand something is different from knowing something. (Kudos if you know this was said by Feynman ;) ). For me, Internet was the best source of study. You need to make sure that every topic you cover, is not done keeping just MCQ in mind. I don't know what coaching people do, but I used to read it from a lot of places, watch online lectures/discussions and use online forums for doubt-solving. Doubt solving is perhaps the greatest drawback of not having coaching, and I recommend school teachers (if they are good), or internet. I've listed the sites in the answer referenced to below.
Well, to do something, you have to believe it's possible. You do not need some genius to clear without coaching. Coaching in my mind is an over-hyped and a hard-to-remove malady of the education system (sorry to be so opinionated without having tried it out!), but in no way indispensable. So, trust me, You can. Period.
