Preparation Tips
Practice with a strict 120-minute timer to build accuracy and speed across all sections. Focus on daily mixed sets—Reasoning, DI, and ICT first—then revise Teaching/Research concepts using short notes. Since there is no negative marking, attempt all questions but avoid overthinking; use elimination for difficult DI/logic options. Finally, review your mistakes section-wise to improve weak areas before the real CG-SET exam.
