Preparation Tips
Revise by attempting section-wise mocks: first Current Affairs and Polity, then rotate Science and Environment. Use a short daily current affairs schedule and maintain a revision notebook for J&K GK facts and static highlights. Practice with time-bound attempts to improve speed, and review wrong answers immediately to fix recurring gaps. Since there is no negative marking, attempt all questions—focus on accuracy and elimination of options.
