Practice section-wise first: complete Child Development & Pedagogy and both languages with daily timed quizzes. For Mathematics and EVS, revise NCERT-based concepts and focus on common UTET question patterns. Use the no-negative-mark format to attempt more questions, but review explanations to fix conceptual gaps. Finally, take at least 2 full mock attempts under 120 minutes to improve speed and accuracy.
