How did you prepare for the English section?*

I am an avid writer and have been writing contents for more than 2-years. Hence my English was good. I emphasized a lot on practice and that gave me a strong hold in this section.

How did you prepare for the Quantitative Aptitude section?*

I referred YouTube videos for short tricks and concepts that were new to me. I practiced a lot from mocks that helped me increase my speed by a huge margin.

How did you prepare for the Reasoning section?*

Tackling puzzles was not easy for me in the start hence I referred YouTube videos for that. Later on I solved a lot of puzzles and miscellaneous questions. Mocks helped me increase my speed in the section.

What was your strategy for the General Awareness section?*

I did weekly current affairs from PDFs available on different platforms and referred YouTube videos for the same. I attempted quizzes related to the same. For financial awareness I referred to PDFs provided by different platforms. That was more than enough for me to go through this section.

What was your overall strategy? Did you follow a study schedule? If yes, please share the details.*

For prelims my only aim was to practice as much as I can. Due to lockdown the mains exam held after 9 months and within a short period of 10 days. For mains I set daily targets which included 1 mock and GA revision. After this I analysed the mock thoroughly and worked on my mistakes.

Did you face any hurdle as well? How did you overcome it?*

I was supposed to get a job as soon as possible due to my family conditions which was putting a lot of pressure on me. Failure in prior exams was making it more severe. I realised that it’s only me who can improve the situation hence I worked harder than ever and finally got through the final exam.

Did PracticeMock help you in your success? Please elaborate.*

Mocks on PracticeMock are of really good standard. The questions in the mock match the exam standard. When I attempted the real exam I didn’t feel any pressure at all as I already knew how to tackle different level of questions.
