“Hello aspirants , Many people asked me for preparation tips. First of all, Study should be your first priority. Everybody completes syllabus. Still a few get success and many dont. Dedication and sincerity matter a lot while chasing a goal. You always need to be focussed. I will not say like You cant have a gf or bf ,, u cant be online,, Or you cant enjoy life. You can do anything but your priority should be study when there is a conflict of priorities. Always feel motivated. Dont think like my friend got selected there or he/she scored so much in mocks. Always remember failure is just a speed breaker in the path of success if you can learn from your failure. Everybody has his own strengths and limitations. Do at your own pace. Now About books and how to cover syllabus Reasoning- In my opinion, this is the easiest section of all. Just do chapterwise previous papers by kiran publication . Still if anything remains then it will be covered in mocks. If you are not getting logic of some questions(Generally series or Block puzzles) during exam , learn to skip them as soon as possible otherwise they will kill some precious time GK: You need not be expert in this section.
