Preparation Tips
Practice 100-question sets under timed conditions (120 minutes) to build speed and accuracy, and prioritize areas where you consistently lose marks. Make short notes of Constitutional and procedural law keywords and revisit them daily. Use previous patterns to strengthen weak topics, and attempt mock tests repeatedly to improve time management. Since there is no negative marking, focus on eliminating wrong options and ensure maximum correct attempts.
