Start with short daily practice: attempt section-wise timed sets to build accuracy without overthinking. For Arithmetic, revise core formulas and focus on high-frequency topics like percentages, ratios, and simplification. For General Intelligence & Reasoning, practice series, coding-decoding, and syllogism-based questions to improve pattern recognition. Finally, take full-length mock tests regularly and review mistakes to strengthen weak areas before the final exam.
