Preparing section by section

General Knowledge and General Science (70 questions): Read first, then test yourself. Make short notes by topic and revise them on a fixed schedule, since this section is mostly recall.

Reasoning (15 questions): Draw diagrams for relations and directions, and write series differences on paper. Do not try to solve everything in your head.

Arithmetic Abilities (15 questions): Practise one chapter at a time at the Easy level, then move up. Learn the standard formulas and common fraction-percentage pairs so that you can do many questions without writing.

Using the mocks and topic tests

Start with the diagnostic test to find your weakest subjects, then work through the topic sets for those subjects. Take a sectional mock each week for the section you find hardest. In the last two weeks, sit full papers of 100 questions in 80 minutes, and spend as long on review as on the paper. With no negative marking, guess only when you can remove at least one option.

Common mistakes

• Studying only the subjects you like and leaving the weakest for the end
• Taking mocks without reviewing the wrong answers
• Ignoring the time limit during practice, and then running short in the real paper
• Relying on one source and not checking the board's own notice for changes

Practise

Start with the diagnostic, then try the full-length mocks and sectional mocks.
