Topic-wise or concept-wise preparation will also help the candidates to understand the difficulty of the topics or sections and will be able to categorize and study them based on its importance and difficulty. This way they can concentrate on the most important or the most difficult ones at first, and then move onto the rest of the questions.
Practice with clocking the speed
Since the number of questions is very high. Candidate should always give a designated amount of time to each question. Practice while keeping a stopwatch alongside. Focus on trying to solve the arithmetical calculations in your mind. This will save a lot of time. Always devote your time to the easier questions or the questions that you can do. Save your time for the ones that are difficult and time-consuming. Practising a lot of question papers can enhance your time efficiency and can help in reducing the time consumption at the time of the examination.
Don't attempt the doubtful ones
The candidate will be lured by the tricky questions. Be careful. If you don't know the question well, don't attempt it. There are chances that you will lose marks. Since a lot of questions will be there, the wrong ones will make your overall score very less. Hence, prepare well for the section you know the best and focus less on doubtful sections.
