Preparation Tips

Focus on NCERT-level fundamentals for science, then upgrade with current and Karnataka-relevant environment/ecology notes. Practice with a strict 120-minute clock: attempt questions first, then revise uncertain areas using short notes and standard references. After each mock, review wrong answers by topic (not just by question) to strengthen weak sub-topics. Since there is No negative marking, use elimination and educated guessing to improve accuracy and coverage.
