Practice seating-arrangement and ranking puzzles in sets of 10, timing each set and noting which arrangement type slows you down.

Practice 30 blood-relation and direction-sense questions, drawing diagrams for every item rather than solving mentally.

Take one 30-minute sectional test in Quantitative Aptitude and analyse every error by cause: concept gap, calculation slip, or misread.

Solve 60 mixed reasoning puzzles including floor-based and box-based arrangements, capping each set at 8 minutes.

Read one national newspaper daily for 20 minutes and record five current-affairs items per day in a dated log, tagging each by theme such as economy, appointments, or schemes.

Revise English grammar fundamentals covering subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles, and prepositions by solving 100 error-spotting questions.

Complete 10 reading-comprehension passages under time, practising the technique of reading questions before the passage.

Practise cloze tests, sentence rearrangement, and fill-in-the-blanks, completing 80 items and maintaining a personal list of every wrong answer with the reason.

Write short summaries of five editorial articles, each in under 80 words, to sharpen comprehension and expression.

Fix a per-section time budget for the real exam and rehearse it in both mocks.

Revise the entire current-affairs log and banking-awareness sheets in three spaced passes across the week.

Take two final full-length mocks under exam-day conditions, including the same start time as your actual slot.

Re-read the English error notebook and vocabulary list, then solve 50 mixed grammar questions to confirm retention.

Prepare an exam-day checklist covering documents, reporting time, section order, and cut-off strategy, and practise skipping questions that exceed your time cap.
