A practical split

Your exact split depends on strengths, but the principle is fixed: bank fast marks first.

  • GK: quick known/unknown decisions.
  • English: speed with grammar certainty.
  • Reasoning: avoid visual/time traps early.
  • Quant: solve sure shots before lengthy arithmetic.

Review after each mock

Track seconds lost per wrong question. A wrong slow question is more damaging than a wrong fast question.
