Since the RJS exam encompasses both analytical and theoretical questions, it's ideal for you to focus on understanding the concepts and not just mindlessly memorize them. Immersing yourself in daily newspapers can be beneficial for your studies. 

Try to make connections between present events and the knowledge you've gained through your textbooks. For instance, if you encounter news related to section 265, immediately look it up in your CrPC. Examine the record's language and question yourself about what you comprehend, then revise it.

Keep an organized study schedule, making sure to fully grasp one topic before moving on to the next. For example, don't start Evidence Act until you've mastered CrPC. Incorporate writing practice into your daily study routine as well. Crafting an answer every day can significantly enhance your writing skills.
