Hello,

1st step:- choose a good coaching institute and join in a course for a year. it would be difficult if you will practice alone and you will not get the competitive environment.

2nd step:-  cover the topics which is easy then go towards hard topics and revise the old ones which covering new ones.

3rd step:-  take break, rest. In that time remember formulas. (Note formulas in a note)

4th step:-  appear mock test to check your performance and solve previous year papers. give more focus in the weak section

Hope it helps!
