Practice 30 error-spotting and 30 sentence-improvement questions, classifying each error by grammar category
Write two short paraphrases and two précis passages in English and compare them against the originals for accuracy
Revise the vocabulary log and test yourself on all 60 words without looking at meanings
Take a timed 50-question combined reasoning and English mock and review it the same day
Your checkpoint
A timed 50-question reasoning plus English mock with a category-wise error breakdown
Hindi Language & Comprehension & General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability
Revise Hindi grammar essentials (संधि, समास, उपसर्ग, प्रत्यय, मुहावरे, पर्यायवाची, विलोम) and complete 100 practice items across them
Practice 15 Hindi comprehension passages and 10 Hindi-to-Hindi correction exercises, timing each passage
Re-drill the two weakest reasoning families identified in week 6 with 20 fresh questions each
Complete 20 mixed arithmetic questions daily for four days to keep numerical skills warm
Review the error log and rewrite every rule you keep forgetting into a single one-page cheat sheet
Your checkpoint
A one-page Hindi grammar cheat sheet plus a scored Hindi comprehension set of 15 passages
General Awareness & General Intelligence & Reasoning Ability & Arithmetical & Numerical Ability & Hindi Language & Comprehension & English Language & Comprehension

Analyse each mock within 24 hours and rank your five weakest question types across all domains
Re-attempt every question missed across all three mocks and confirm 85 percent or higher accuracy
Run two rapid revision passes over the polity timeline, geography sheet, science cues, static GK flashcards, vocabulary log and Hindi cheat sheet
