Pro-Tips & Exam Strategy
Solve Simplification questions first.
Data interpretation questions, that are relatively short, should be attempted next.
Always be sure to solve the easier questions first as they are sure to fetch you marks. Spending time on the more difficult ones initially makes no sense.
Do not spend more than 35-40 minutes on the Quant section.
If you find the paper somewhat difficult despite your rigorous practice, don’t get unnerved. If it was difficult for you, it was probably difficult for all in your session. And a difficult paper works in your favour after normalization.
