How to prepare
- 1Practise each section in a timed 20-minute slot, matching the Prelims pattern. Aim to attempt questions accurately rather than rushing through all 30 English or 35 Numerical Ability and Reasoning Ability questions.
- 2Build a daily English routine with a reading passage, fillers and sentence rearrangement. Review unfamiliar words and the grammar behind every mistake.
- 3Practise Numerical Ability topics in short sets, especially approximation, number series, arithmetic and data interpretation. Check calculations and learn to move on when a question is taking too long.
- 4Solve a variety of puzzles and seating arrangements, then practise coding-decoding and direction sense separately. Draw a quick diagram when it helps you avoid missed conditions.
- 5Take full Prelims mock tests with the 20-minute section limits and review them carefully. Since each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks, avoid blind guesses and note recurring errors.
