Last-Minute Preparation Tips (Final Days)

• Accuracy first: With negative marking, avoid blind guessing. Attempt only when reasonably sure.
• Time management: 60 minutes for 100 questions means less than 40 seconds per question. Don’t get stuck on one tough question.
• Revise GK: Focus on current affairs of the last 6 months + important static GK topics (awards, sports, government schemes).
• Mock practice: Attempt at least one timed mock in the same 60-minute format to train speed.
