- Finish the syllabus first. Cover all four areas (Quantitative Aptitude, Reasoning, English, General Awareness) before you start full-length mocks.
- Take regular mock tests. Build speed and accuracy under timed conditions, and review every mistake.
- Revise formulas and grammar rules. Keep a short notebook for last-week revision.
- Practise previous year papers to understand the question level and repeated topics.
- Follow only official updates. Avoid unverified rumours about dates and shifts.
