Preparation Tips
Start with a timed approach: practice at least one full section daily to improve speed in reasoning and awareness. Focus on high-frequency reasoning areas like series, syllogisms, and coding-decoding, and revise current affairs in short daily bursts. Use a mistake notebook to track wrong answers and revise those concepts before attempting the next test. Since there is no negative marking, prioritize question selection—attempt confidently answerable questions first, then revisit flagged ones.
