For General Awareness and Computer Knowledge, create quick revision notes and revise daily for 20–30 minutes. Use mock-test style timing (120 minutes for 200 questions) and review mistakes—especially topics you repeatedly get wrong. Since there is no negative marking, focus on attempting all questions while maintaining speed and correctness.
