PREPARATION-I
A student can comfortably start reading with Morphology of Angiosperms. Three questions can be expected from this chapter alone. Botanical names and their common names and various features of the plants must be thoroughly remembered. All the questions are knowledge based but clubbing with more characters is possible. After studying the chapter the student must spend few minutes to recollect the same. “Match the following type” questions are easy to answer provided the student has information.
Morphology should be followed by Taxonomy of Angiosperms. More than the important features of the families, plant names and their vernacular names and economic importance are to be remembered. After reading, student should write down few plant names and their characters randomly to check his recollecting abilities. The chapter ‘Living world’ is related taxonomy. Student can go through this once.
In Ecology chapter most of the examples are already studied from morphology. Anatomical characters can be easily remembered. The four ecological services with examples are important for the exam point of view.

For the EAMCET examination preparation the last 30 days are crucial. Student’s performance depends on how best he has utilized these days. The student has to revise the topics with a well planned schedule for every subject. For the subject Botany the topics can be grouped according to the importance for the purpose of examination. Important chapters can be revised first. Priority must be given to chapters like Morphology of Flowering Plants, Taxonomy of Angiosperms, The Living World and Ecology- all are related.
