Preparation Tips
Start with NCERT-based concept revision, then practice mixed-topic questions daily to improve recall and speed. Use a “mistake notebook” to record errors in formulas, signs, and steps—revisit it after every test. Since there is no negative marking, focus on attempting all solvable questions first, then return for tougher ones. Finally, time yourself for 120 minutes and review explanations to strengthen weak areas before your next attempt.
