Switching between Topics

We all know how hard it is to switch from one topic to another, especially if you are switching from an easy topic to a tougher one or even while switching between two very different subjects.

Entrance exams are usually a combination of subjects and topics that may vastly differ from each other. You will need to learn the skill of switching between topics easily during an exam.

The skill is easy to learn and would take around 2-3 months to become a habit. All you need to do is practice daily for 1 hour (You may increase the duration).

In this 1 hour period, try studying topics that are very different from each other. for example, if you are preparing for JEE or NEET, then begin with a topic like maybe Electrostatics, then suddenly move on to Reactions of Organic Chemistry after 5-10 minutes and so on.

Another example, if you are preparing for GATE, then begin with one of our technical subjects then move onto aptitude part in the next 15-20 minutes.

This practice will eventually help you to flawlessly switch between different topics/subjects without adding strain on your brain.
