10. The Ultimate Study Framework
- Diagnostic Phase (First Month): Identify strengths and weaknesses via a full-length mock
- Focused Learning Phase (Month 2–4): Deep dive into weak topics while maintaining strong ones
- Revision & Test Phase (Last 2 Months): Daily full-length mock tests, sectional tests, and focused revisions
Key Elements:
- Time blocking: Study in slots of 1–2 hours with breaks
- Active recall: Flashcards, self‑quizzes, recall after sleep cycles
- Interleaving: Mix subjects daily to prevent fatigue
11. Mock Test Strategy
- Use high-quality simulated tests
- Analyze each mock: Identify pattern of mistakes (time, content, careless errors)
- Track progress using a simple spreadsheet: columns for date, score, topics weak, time per section
- Aim for incremental improvement: +2 % accuracy or –30 seconds per section per test
12. Time Management & Accuracy
- Tier I: 1 minute per question average
- Tier II (Quant/Eng): 2–3 minutes per question
- Use sectional timing drills: e.g. solve 25 general awareness questions in 15 minutes
- Use everyday time awareness training: set timers, simulate shift patterns
13. Error Logs and Weekly Review
- Maintain a mistake notebook: record question, correct answer, your error, and revision notes
- Weekly, review all mistakes and re‑test yourself
- Use memory reinforcement techniques like spaced repetition
14. Subject‑Wise Priority Planning
| Subject | Weight in Exam | Focus Areas | Practice Suggestions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quant | High | Arithmetic, DI, Algebra | Solve daily short sets |
| Reasoning | Medium | Series, Syllogism, Visual | Timed drills + logs |
| English | Medium | Grammar, Comprehension | Editorial reading + mock |
| GA | Medium | Static + Monthly Current | Flashcards + mini daily quizzes |
Solution tip: Prioritize arithmetic and reasoning early, then balance English and GA to maximize scoring potential.
