Complete 5 reasoning sets on puzzles, input-output and data sufficiency, capping each puzzle at 4 minutes

Revise all reasoning error-log entries from weeks 1 to 3 and re-solve 30 of them cold

Read two English editorials daily and extract 10 new words with usage sentences and one synonym/antonym each

Solve 100 English questions on error spotting, sentence improvement and fill-in-the-blanks, recording rule-wise accuracy

Practise MS Office and internet basics (shortcuts, formulas, email, browsers, antivirus) with 40 MCQs and note every unfamiliar shortcut

Study the discipline-specific syllabus for your post and list every official topic, then rank the five highest-weight ones

Complete 80 discipline-specific questions or worked problems (for Accounts: journal, ledger, trial balance, depreciation; for Engineering: units, circuits or strength of materials basics; for Laboratory: apparatus, safety, measurement)

Re-attempt 40 previously wrong Quant questions and confirm at least 80% are now correct

Take one full-length mock covering all six domains under exam timing and mark which domain cost the most marks

Take 3 full-length mocks on alternate days, each followed by a 90-minute analysis session the same day

Revise only your error logs, formula sheet, GK digest and computer cheat sheet, with no new topics

Fix a section-wise attempt strategy (order of sections, time caps, skip rules) and test it in the last two mocks

Re-solve the 50 highest-frequency mistakes from all eight weeks and confirm each is closed
