Start with a quick syllabus scan and allocate equal practice time to Quantitative Aptitude, Logical Reasoning, and General Awareness & Odisha GK. Attempt section-wise sets first to identify weak areas, then move to mixed mock-style practice for time management. Focus on accuracy—since there is no negative marking, avoid leaving questions unattempted, but maintain speed through timed practice. Revise formulas, key GK facts, and recurring computer/science definitions regularly.
