I AM VERY MUCH CONFUSED THAT IS BOARD PREPARATION REQUIRES DIFFERENT STRATEGY THAN COMPETITION PREPARATION.SOME GUYS SAY THAT BOTH ARE THE SAME THING BUT OTHERS SAY THAT THEY ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.SO.PLEASE GUIDE ME ABOUT THIS.

SECONDLY,AT THIS STAGE MY PRE-BOARDS ARE COMING (FROM 8 JANUARY) SO SHOULD I CONTINUE WITH MY PREPARATIONS FOR COMPETITIONS OR SHOULD I CONCENTRATE ON MY PRE-BOARD STUDIES.

PLEASE GIVE ME BEST SUGGESTION OVER THIS
