1. Planning: 

This is the first step for appearing at any exams. This step includes the information gathering phase of the upcoming exam. You need to gather as much information as you can regarding the BCS exams.

2. Partner Selection: 

This is one of the main steps for this kind of public examinations. You can select one or multiple partners who will appear at the same exam. This is not a difficult job as many of your friends will appear this exam surely. If you select one partner [may be your spouse, closest friend, roommate, brother, sister etc], read all the day with him/her. You don’t need any other people to prepare you for the exam. If you select multiple partners, you can read, rather discuss with them in alternative days. This will allow you to read alone as well do group study. These two ways are more or less equally effective in having BCS preparation.

3. Buying Best Books: 

There are many books in the market for the BCS preparation. But all of them are not good. Some of them are full with wrong & outdated information. You need the best books written by renowned authors. You can seek suggestion from any elder brother or sister who has already passed the BCS exam. There are many series of books in the market. But all books of any renowned series are not good.
