Section-Wise Tips

Quantitative Aptitude

Focus on:

• Simplification and Approximation
• Number Series
• Arithmetic (Profit & Loss, SI & CI, Time-Speed)
• DI (Tables, Pie Charts)
• Practice short tricks and mental calculations
• During exams, attempt any easy question at first

Reasoning Ability

Focus on:

• Puzzles and Seating Arrangements (2-3 types)
• Syllogisms
• Blood Relations, Direction Sense, Coding-Decoding
• Solve mixed questions daily
• In the examination, begin with non-puzzle questions to gain extra time

English Language

Focus on:

• Reading Comprehension (1 passage daily)
• Cloze Test and Error Detection
• Para Jumbles
• Read newspapers and editorials to develop comprehension
• Practice vocab-based questions (synonyms, antonyms)

Mock Tests – The Game Changer

• It would be good to start with alternate-day mocks, and keep it that way till Week 2. From Week 3 onwards, daily mocks will be preferred.
• After every mock:
  • Note down the mistakes and create an error log
  • Keep a record of the time spent per section
  • Try all the wrong questions again, this time with open solutions
• Using mock analytics, determine which will be the best section to start with in the actual exam.

Time Management During Exam

• Prelims Structure:
  
  • 20 minutes each for English, Quant, and Reasoning
  • No switching between sections
• Attempt sequence strategy:
  
  • Start with the section in which you are most confident
  • Avoid spending more than 45 seconds per question initially
  • Use the last 2 minutes to revisit any marked questions (if any)

Dos and Don’ts in the Last Week

Dos:

• Go through notes and formulas
• Attempt 1 full mock each day
• Get enough sleep and have good food
• Go in with positivity and focus

Don’ts:

• Avoid new topic discussions
• Don’t compare your scores with somebody else’s
• Don’t panic if you’ve got a tough mock 

Bonus Tips from Experts & Toppers

• “Focus more on accuracy than attempts. Even 60–65 attempts with 90% accuracy can clear cut-offs.”
• “Use the first 5 minutes in mock tests to scan and identify easy questions.”
• “Don’t let one tough section impact the rest. Stay calm and move on.”

Final 3 Days Checklist

• One mock each day in real exam time
• Prepare all necessary exam-day documents (admit card, photo id)
• On the eve of Day 1, visit the exam center if you find yourself unfamiliar with it.
• Sleep well–a good seven hours. 
• Confidence should be born out of faith in whatever you prepared for.
