Preparation Tips
Start with daily short sets: 25–35 questions focusing on one section (reasoning, numeracy, or DI) at a time. Practice comprehension and communication through scenario-based MCQs, and maintain a “mistake log” to identify recurring weak areas. For speed, attempt easier questions first and use elimination for reasoning and numeracy. Take one full timed mock regularly to build accuracy and exam-day pacing.
