Key Tips
- English is the score booster: In Tier II, English carries 120 marks (out of 330). Focus heavily on comprehension and grammar.
- Start typing early: 35 wpm in English takes consistent daily practice of at least 15–20 minutes. Start from Month 1 itself.
- Attempt GK last in Tier I: Spend maximum time on Reasoning and Aptitude. Attempt GK after securing those sections.
