Quantitative Aptitude & English Comprehension and Verbal Ability
Diagnose baseline by taking one full-length timed mock and logging section-wise accuracy and time spent per question
Build a personal arithmetic formula sheet covering percentages, ratios, averages, profit-loss and simple/compound interest, then solve 40 mixed arithmetic questions
Re-read one editorial-style passage daily and mark every unfamiliar word with its contextual meaning
Solve 30 sentence-completion and synonym-antonym items, recording each error with the reason it was wrong
Your checkpoint
A one-page diagnostic scorecard listing section-wise accuracy, average time per question, and the five weakest sub-topics with the error log attached
Quantitative Aptitude
Master time-speed-distance and time-and-work by solving 50 questions under a 60-second-per-question cap
Practice percentage-to-fraction and fraction-to-percentage conversions until 30 conversions are completed in under 5 minutes
Solve 25 data-sufficiency style arithmetic questions and note where a second condition was wrongly assumed unnecessary
Review every wrong answer from Week 1 and re-solve it without looking at the solution
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-question arithmetic sectional test scored at 75% or above, with a corrected error log
Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation
Solve 40 questions on mensuration and geometry, memorising perimeter, area and volume formulas for standard 2D and 3D shapes
Complete 30 permutation, combination and probability questions, distinguishing arrangement from selection in each
Work through 20 number-series and coding-decoding sets to build pattern-recognition speed
Set up a daily 10-minute mental-math drill on squares up to 30, cubes up to 15, and tables up to 20
Your checkpoint
A formula-and-shortcut reference sheet for geometry, permutations and probability, plus a 25-question sectional test scoring at least 70%
Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation
Solve 60 questions across syllogisms, blood relations, direction sense and ordering-arrangement, drawing diagrams for each
Complete 10 data-interpretation sets (tables, bar graphs, pie charts, line graphs) with a strict 6-minute cap per set
Practise approximation and percentage-difference shortcuts so each DI calculation needs no long division
Analyse which DI set type consumes the most time and build a set-skipping strategy
Your checkpoint
Ten solved DI sets with timing recorded per set, plus a written note on which set types to attempt first in the exam
English Comprehension and Verbal Ability & General Awareness and Business Awareness
Read two long passages daily and answer 5 questions per passage, practising main-idea, inference and tone identification
Complete 40 para-jumble and odd-sentence-out items using connector and transition-word cues
Revise grammar rules for subject-verb agreement, modifiers, parallelism and prepositions, then apply them to 50 error-spotting items
Build a 100-word current-affairs glossary from the past three months of business and economy news
Your checkpoint
A reading-comprehension and verbal-ability sectional test scoring at least 70%, with a grammar-rule cheat sheet and the current-affairs glossary
General Awareness and Business Awareness
Compile and memorise key facts on Indian banking, RBI functions, monetary policy tools and recent budget highlights
List 30 important business houses, their founders, sectors and headquarters, and self-test on them
Revise static general awareness: important days, awards, capitals, currencies and major international organisations
Take 5 daily 20-question general-awareness quizzes and log every miss into a single revision sheet
Your checkpoint
A consolidated 4-page general and business awareness revision sheet, validated by scoring 70% or above on a 50-question mixed quiz
Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation
Take two full-length timed mocks and compare section-wise scores against the Week 1 diagnostic
Re-solve every incorrect question from both mocks and classify errors as conceptual, careless or time-pressure
Drill the two weakest quantitative sub-topics with 40 targeted questions each
Practise a fixed question-selection order for the reasoning and DI section across three timed 30-minute sprints
Your checkpoint
A mock-analysis report showing at least a 15-percentage-point accuracy gain over the Week 1 baseline, with an error-cause breakdown
English Comprehension and Verbal Ability & Quantitative Aptitude & Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation & General Awareness and Business Awareness
Take three full-length mocks under exact exam timing and review each within 24 hours
Revise only the consolidated error logs, formula sheets and awareness sheet, adding no new material
Rehearse a time-allocation plan per section and lock in which question types to skip immediately
Confirm exam-day logistics and practise two 10-minute relaxation routines to manage pressure
Your checkpoint
Three completed mock scores at or above the Week 7 level with a final one-page exam-day strategy sheet covering time allocation, attempt order and skip rules
Milestones
Week 2: Arithmetic sectional accuracy reaches 75% with average time per question at or below 60 seconds
Week 4: Reasoning and DI sectional score reaches 70%, and each 5-question DI set is completed within 6 minutes
Week 6: Verbal and general/business awareness quizzes both score 70% or above
Week 7: Full-mock accuracy improves by at least 15 percentage points over the Week 1 diagnostic
Week 8: Three final mocks are completed at or above the Week 7 score with a written exam-day strategy in place
