Solve 30 non-verbal reasoning items covering mirror and water images, embedded figures, and paper folding.
Complete 20 sorting-and-arrangement puzzles by writing the final arrangement before checking the answer options.
Read tables, bar graphs, and line graphs and answer 40 data-interpretation questions, capping each graph at four minutes.
Solve 40 mixture-and-alligation and partnership problems using shortcut ratios.
Your checkpoint
A 40-question sectional test (20 reasoning, 20 mathematics and data interpretation) completed in 40 minutes at 75% or higher.
General Science & General Awareness and Current Affairs
Recite the Preamble, list ten fundamental rights and duties, and name the three organs of government with one function each.
Memorise the capitals of all Indian states, ten major rivers with their origins, and the states they flow through.
Re-attempt the 30 science questions you have missed most often and confirm each answer against a standard textbook.
Write 60 one-line static GK facts covering national symbols, important days, and major awards.
Your checkpoint
A 100-row flashcard file (one fact per row) spanning science and static GK, plus a 25-question GA-and-science test scored at 75% or higher.
General Awareness and Current Affairs & General Intelligence and Reasoning
Build a timeline of 25 key events of the Indian freedom movement with year and leader for each.
Define 30 basic economy terms (budget, fiscal deficit, GDP, repo rate, inflation) in one line each.
Compile 150 one-line current affairs entries from the last six months, grouped by month.
Complete 30 reasoning questions from puzzles and 30 from statement-conclusion, both under strict timing.
Your checkpoint
A six-month current affairs digest of 150 one-line entries and a four-section mock test (25 questions per domain) scored at 72% or higher.
Mathematics & General Awareness and Current Affairs
Write three full-length mock tests under exam conditions and analyse every error within 24 hours of each attempt.
Re-solve the 60 mathematics questions you have missed most often and confirm each one now takes under 90 seconds.
Revise the entire current affairs digest and all flashcard rows, marking anything you cannot recall in one pass.
Rehearse the exam-day sequence: section order, per-question time cap, and skip-and-return rule.
Your checkpoint
Three completed full-length mocks with written error analyses, and a final one-page weak-area list containing no more than ten items still needing revision.
Milestones
Week 2: Score 70% or higher on both timed 25-question mathematics sets and recall the 50-item science fact sheet from memory in under 15 minutes.
Week 4: Score 70% or higher on the 50-question science-plus-reasoning test, and show that at least 80% of week 1-3 logged errors have been re-solved correctly.
Week 6: Hold a 100-row flashcard file you can self-test against, and score 75% or higher on the combined GA-and-science test.
Week 8: Complete three full-length mocks, with the latest attempt at 75% or higher overall and no single domain below 65%.
