📝 Exam Day Strategy

TIME MANAGEMENT:
  1. Don't spend more than 1.5 minutes on any single question
  2. Attempt easy questions first — secure those marks
  3. Mark difficult questions and return later
  4. For coding: read ALL problems first, start with easiest

SECTION STRATEGY:
  ✅ Verbal → Quick, high accuracy possible → Do first
  ✅ Reasoning → Medium difficulty → Do second
  ✅ Quant → Can be tricky → Focus on formulas you know
  ✅ Coding → Highest marks → Practice patterns, not memorization

AVOID:
  ❌ Spending too long on one question
  ❌ Leaving easy questions unanswered
  ❌ Panicking on unfamiliar patterns
  ❌ Changing answers without strong reason

✅ Last-Minute Checklist

• Revise all key formulas (percentage, P&L, TSD, T&W, AP/GP)
• Review Venn diagram rules for syllogisms
• Practice 2-3 coding problems (arrays, strings, DP)
• Brush up on email writing format
• Go through sentence completion vocabulary list
• Sleep well the night before!
