Revision is a must

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Here is a list of common mistakes to avoid while preparing for RRB PO exam so that you can score 75+ marks. 

• Many candidates are either preparing for prelims only or preparing for mains after prelims, which mostly leads to poor performance. What one should do is prepare for mains and prelims in parallel, meaning first prepare the basics of a topic, then go towards the advanced or tough questions.
• Not giving enough time for revision; you can learn 100 topics in a day, but will it matter if you do not remember a single one? Definitely no! So, what you can do is read at least 2-3 new topics and revise them on alternate days for better results.
• Piling up the current affairs for last month, this will only add to the burden, as revising them at the last moment is next to impossible. So make sure at least you are preparing current affairs on a weekly basis.
