Focus on building a daily GK + current affairs routine for Karnataka-specific topics (history, economy, and local polity) alongside national updates. For quantitative/reasoning, practice timed mixed sets to improve accuracy—since there is no negative marking, prioritize attempting all questions. Revise key accounting/taxation definitions and common GST/Sales Tax concepts using short notes before attempting mocks. Finally, review every missed question from this practice test and reattempt similar questions to strengthen weak areas.
