Expert Teacher Tips
- Prioritize GK/Science: These sections can be solved faster than Mathematics, leaving you more time for complex numerical problems.
- OMR Accuracy: Since the exam is offline, practice marking OMR bubbles to avoid shifting errors that can invalidate your entire paper.
- Sectional Strategy: Spend no more than 40 seconds per question. If a question feels like it requires more time, move on immediately.
