Diagnose baseline accuracy in arithmetic by solving 40 mixed questions under a 50-minute timer and logging every error by cause
Rebuild speed on percentages, ratio-proportion and averages by drilling 15 questions per topic with a 60-second-per-question cap
Memorise the tables up to 25, squares up to 30 and common fraction-to-percentage conversions, and self-test them twice
Your checkpoint
An error log of 40 solved questions classified into concept gaps, calculation slips and time overruns, with counts per category

Apply profit-loss and simple/compound interest formulae to 30 questions without referring to notes
Practise elimination and approximation on 20 questions to avoid full calculation where options permit
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question arithmetic sectional test scored and reviewed, with a written note on which two question types cost the most time
Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning and General Intelligence
Cover permutations-combinations and probability basics at the level of single-stage selection problems, solving 20 questions
Build a reasoning baseline by attempting 30 mixed questions across series, coding-decoding and blood relations
Set up a formula sheet for quantitative topics and a rule sheet for reasoning patterns, and review both weekly
Your checkpoint
Two sectional tests (quantitative 25 questions, reasoning 25 questions) scored with accuracy percentages recorded per topic
Reasoning and General Intelligence
Solve seating arrangement and puzzle sets of 5 questions each within 8 minutes per set, completing 6 sets
Practise syllogism and statement-conclusion questions using Venn diagrams until 9 of 10 are correct
Train data interpretation by reading 4 tables and 4 bar or pie charts and answering 5 questions on each within 6 minutes
Your checkpoint
A full-length reasoning mock of 35 questions completed in 35 minutes with a topic-wise accuracy table
English Language and Comprehension
Read two 400-word passages daily and answer 5 inference and tone questions on each, marking the line in the passage that supports each answer
Revise grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, tenses, articles and prepositions, then apply them to 40 error-spotting questions
Build a personal list of 60 high-frequency exam words with synonyms and use each in one original sentence
Your checkpoint
A 30-question English sectional test (reading comprehension, error spotting, fill in the blanks) scored with a list of the three weakest sub-skills
English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude
Practise para-jumbles and sentence-completion questions, completing 25 of each with reasoning written for every choice
Summarise current business and economic news from the past three months into 20 bullet notes covering policy, markets and major companies
Revise core management concepts including the functions of management, marketing mix, and basic accounting terms such as balance sheet and working capital
Your checkpoint
A one-page English plus business-awareness revision sheet and a 25-question mixed sectional test scored above 60 percent
Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning and General Intelligence & English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude
Take two full-length mocks under exam timing and record section-wise attempts, accuracy and time spent
Analyse each mock within 24 hours and rework every incorrect question until it can be solved unaided
Fix a section order and a per-section time budget, then rehearse it in the second mock
Your checkpoint
A mock analysis report comparing both attempts, showing accuracy improvement per section and the final chosen time budget
Quantitative Aptitude & Reasoning and General Intelligence & English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness / Business and Management Aptitude
Take three full-length mocks on alternate days and review each the same day
Revisit only the error log and formula sheets, avoiding new topics
Rehearse the exam-day routine including sleep timing, a timed warm-up set of 10 questions, and skipping rules for stuck questions
Your checkpoint
A final one-page cheat sheet of formulas, reasoning rules and business terms, plus a three-mock score trend showing the best and average scores
