Before you start solving any questions, take a few moments to carefully read the instructions provided on the question paper. Understand the marking scheme, negative marking (if any), and any specific directions for each section.
Mock tests help you practice time management, which is essential for answering all questions within the stipulated time. Learning to allocate time to different sections improves your overall efficiency.
Divide your total available time among the three sections (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics) based on your strengths and weaknesses. Allocate more time to the sections you are more comfortable with, but ensure you spend some time on each section.
Begin with the section you are most confident in. Starting with your strong suit can boost your confidence and help you save time for tougher sections later.
Within each section, start with the easier questions. Answering them quickly builds your confidence and helps you accumulate marks efficiently.
Apply problem-solving techniques such as elimination, substitution, and approximation to tackle complex questions efficiently. Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts.
Only make educated guesses if you can eliminate some answer choices. Random guessing may lead to negative marking, which can significantly reduce your score.
Once you've completed a section, use any remaining time to review your answers. Look for errors, calculation mistakes, or misinterpretations. It's essential to maximize your accuracy.
