Speak

All you need to do everyday is make sure that you are speaking correctly, including pronunciations. Practice speaking in English in front of the mirror or conversing with your friends. Don't attach accents or weird, unfamiliar tones to your voice.

Enrich Vocabulary

Synonyms, antonyms, whatever you may have, learn it. Pick words of the day and learn the meaning and the uses. Try to use formal or better words in daily conversations.

Read Thoroughly

From newspapers and leaflets to books and brochures, read aloud everyday for atleast 15 mins. Increase your reading pace as you practice. Set daily limits and goals. Increase them regularly.

Write Better and Faster

Basic English entrance tests also require you to ace your writing abilities. Improve and work on your writing speed and handwriting. Use better words, supplicate your statements in a better way.

Watch English Movies/Series

Use this time to watch series and movies that you binge on and learn words and phrases. Increase and improve your listening ability. At times, try understanding parts of the video without subtitles.

The core tip to crack these tests is consistency and practice. You have to keep on to ensure that your abilities are fresh every time they are tested. Make this bridging language a part of your life curriculum. Circumstances may push you to go off roads but remember to be patient and answer.
