3. **Daily Current Affairs:** General Awareness is often a make-or-break section. Make it a habit to read newspapers (The Hindu, The Indian Express) and reputable online news portals daily. Focus on national and international news, government schemes, economic developments, and science & technology updates. Maintain concise notes.

6. **Regular Mock Tests:** Take full-length mock tests regularly, preferably under timed conditions. This simulates the actual exam environment and helps in identifying your strengths and weaknesses. After each mock, analyze your performance, review incorrect answers, and refine your strategy.
