Preparation Tips

Focus first on completing your discipline-wise syllabus and make topic-wise short notes for quick revision. Practice with full-length sets to build exam stamina and learn to avoid guesswork (since accuracy matters most). Revise repeatedly the high-yield areas you score consistently on, and identify weak sub-topics to target daily with timed questions. Use the no-negative-marking advantage to attempt confidently, but only after narrowing to the most likely option.
