Revise the concepts

There are definitely going to be some topics where you are pretty good at and you might not be that good at some topics. Well! It’s now time that you give the concepts of those topics a thorough revision at which you’re not so good at. Also, you must have encountered some tricky questions while solving your mock tests/previous years’ papers. You should also revise the concepts involved therein. Remember: Starting with a new topic at this point in time will yield no result; rather it may confuse you and waste your time which you could have better used practicing the topics you already knew.

Keep the cut-offs in mind

While at this point in time nobody can predict the sectional and overall cut-offs as it all depends on the performance of all the aspirants, you can take some reference from the previous years’ cut-offs. Remember: In the preliminary exam, marks were just a gateway to the mains exam and weren’t considered anywhere else, but marks in this mains exam will be a key parameter for selection. You need to score as high as possible in different sections and at the same time, get an excellent overall score. The more you score, the more is your probability of getting selected, provided you perform well in interviews, group activities etc.

Tips for the Descriptive Test

We are sure that you are following these tips for the descriptive test. Also, be abreast of the topics which are in the news. Not only it will help you in writing it will also keep you updated on the general awareness section. Just keep writing one essay and one letter on an alternate basis.
