Exam tips

• Pay attention to all the written and verbal instructions provided by the test conductor. Feel free to ask questions if you have any doubts but make sure you speak your mind before the test begins because after that you won’t be allowed to communicate with anyone.
• All test sections are timed so make sure you manage your pace. There will be some sections that you’ll have to return after the allotted time while others can be submitted at the end of the entire exam. One trick is to divide the number of questions with the amount of time given to complete the test. This way you’ll know how much time to spend on a question at most.
• In terms of keeping a steady work speed, never get hung up on any one question. Read it carefully but if you don’t know the answer to it, move on to the rest of the paper. You can come back to it later. Do make sure you answer all the questions given.
• In our experience of civil service exam preparation, there are really no “trick questions.” Even if you’re unsure about your answer, reason through them and pen down something that stays close to subject logic.
