Start by revising key NCERT-aligned concepts for EVS and primary-level Mathematics, then strengthen pedagogy through daily practice of scenario-based questions. Use this test to identify weak topics, and revisit them with short notes and formula/concept grids. Focus on accuracy first (no negative marking), and practice time management by attempting easier questions within the first half of the duration.
