Keep Time in Mind
In some of the exams, you’ll get roughly 45 minutes to attempt the paper and some others, you get 120 minutes. But, time can become scarce if you do not utilize it properly. You might find some sections harder than others or you may find some topics harder than others. But, you must be aware of what you think is time consuming. Before you attempt a mock, keep in mind how much time you’re going to dedicate to each section. Do not spend more than your own stipulated time in a particular section. If you finish early, then it’s all well and good. But, if you finish all the sections earlier than time then do make sure you double check. As you attempt more and more mock tests, you will build up speed. Then you can adjust the stipulated time quota as you wish.
Prioritize the topics
Since you will be allowed little time to attempt the questions, you will need to prioritize. My advice to you is to go with the easy topics first. Once you get that out of the way, you will be free to attempt the hard and time consuming topics. Doing the hard topics or the time consuming topics first may end up eating too much of your time. You may end up not answering the easy questions and losing precious marks in the process.
